• Why AEW WrestleDream Wasn’t Allowed To Feature A Lot Of Blood
AEW WrestleDream took place in St. Louis, Missouri, last Saturday. The company is known for featuring hardcore moments on its pay-per-views, but this time there was noticeably less extreme content outside of the Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin main event.
Moxley used chains, skewers and even an aquarium during the I Quit Match, while Allin fought back with lighter fluid, a destroyer and repeated bat shots before making Moxley quit with the Scorpion Death Lock. A match of that kind would normally feature a lot of blood, but this one didn’t.
According to the Wrestling Observer, the lack of blood and crowd brawling at WrestleDream was due to strict restrictions from the Missouri Pro Wrestling Commission.
There were tight regulations on what wrestlers were allowed to do during the show, which limited the use of blood and violence across all matches on the card.
• WWE’s Real Use Of AI Revealed
WWE has taken steps towards using artificial intelligence within the company, recently hiring a new Senior Director Of Creative Strategy, Cyrus Kowsari, to explore how AI can be used in production and creative areas.
The company has also been testing a software called Writer AI, which was trained using WWE’s own content. However, early results from the software were reportedly very poor, leading to skepticism within the company.
Following the news, some fans expressed concern that WWE was planning to use AI to write storylines or replace its creative team. But, that will not be the case.
According to Fightful Select, the new hire is focused on finding ways AI can assist with production work, such as removing background noise or organizing files, rather than creating storylines.
One top talent responded to the rumors, saying, “Michael Hayes, Paul Heyman and Ed Koskey are not AI,” making it clear that WWE’s creative process will remain human-driven.
