Blake Monroe says telling a story is the most important part of pro wrestling:
“I think you can steal the show with a story. If you look at my career and my career highlights, I think all of them have come from a story, and I think I’m a fantastic wrestler in the ring. I don’t do 25 Moonsaults or deathdefying stunts, but when I go out there, I give 110% in what I do, and I feel like my in-ring marries my character perfectly.
I just think the most important part of wrestling is telling a story. If you think about the people on top right now and the WrestleMania main events we’ve had recently in the past 10 years. Cody [Rhodes] and Roman [Reigns], that was like a two-year long epic. It was incredible. If you look at John Cena, when I grew up, the stories I would watch. Like when Jeff Hardy finally won the World Title. Those are the moments you remember. It’s the stories. Nobody cares if you can do some gymnastics. At least I don’t.”
