Would you be my new best friends?

Did they ever establish if Lorenzo Lamas is playing a character or if he's straight up Lorenzo Lamas?

Apparently the system is that Dario picks up the RED PHONE, whoever takes the call sends out runners to make the appropriate changes, including bringing a card to Matt Striker.

Has there ever been a wrestler whose entire gimmick has been being kinda genre savvy? Like, whenever they hear the crowd suddenly cheering they actually looking around, or when people arrive at ringside to distract them they don't take their eye off their opponent

Also hey it's a classic Stone Cold set

i remember JR commenting on the latter as something he never liked because it doesn't make sense that a trained athlete would lose their focus and turn their backs on their opponent just because someone's theme music hits or something. not that distractions can't be done properly, just that often they aren't.

I remember very clearly at one point in the RAW threads someone complaining about this very thing literally minutes before the Wyatt's music hitting in the middle of a match, the wrestler in control ignoring the music in favor of continuing to beat on his opponent, and then immediately getting shitstomped from behind by Luke Harper.

I can suspend disbelief for it on occasion, but I swear there was one episode of RAW where they did it in like four different matches
