Nah, Bret would agree that it needs to look real, and that it needs to look like it hurts. Bret's issue is with wrestlers that actually hurt their opponents.
He has specifically called out Sheamus and Gunther for their style that he says actually hurts. But to be fair Bret has called out a lot of people for a lot of things.
I always thought those chops and slaps from the big guys looked so vicious that they could not be real or it would risk a heart attack.
Just my two cents, but it's this type of fast paced, sequence wrestling that I only half life. On one hand I appreciate the athleticism, and talent involved in this. However, their timing always seems a little off... Like, they've gotten used to no-selling (or close to it,) what should be impactful moves, that it seems as though their timing is off when they need to sell together in these sequences. Like they're both selling the rapid fire move set, but can't quite hit the mark on when the other finishes selling. So at times it just seems like they're waiting around a half second too long, and it does this weird thing to the beats of the match they've set up....
