Ken Anderson Believes Ring Psychology Is ‘Hands Down’ More Important Than Having A Good Move-Set

Ken Anderson discusses which is more important, ring psychology or a good move-set.

In recent years, the debate has raged between wrestling fans on which is more important: moves in the ring, or the psychology that takes place in between them. Top names of the industry such as The Undertaker and Triple H have shared their takes on the debate, and now a former WWE superstar has added to it.

While speaking to Josie’s Corner in a new interview, Ken Anderson was asked which in his opinion matters more, ring psychology or a good move-set.

“Ring psychology. Hands down, you have to be able to tell a story. I heard Triple H say in an interview like a year and a half ago, that the moves mean nothing, which is weird to say because it’s pro wrestling, right? We have to do moves to each other. But it’s the little things that we do in between those moves that means so much. So it’s great to have, like you have to have both. But if somebody is only able to do a few things well, like hip toss, arm drag, body slam, lock up, a wrist lock, and an arm bar, but they’ve got great psychology, that person can actually connect with the audience. Whereas somebody that just does a bunch of flips and stuff, it looks great, but there’s nothing that the audience can grab onto.”

Elsewhere in another interview, Ken spoke about the injury he suffered while holding the Money In The Bank briefcase. You can read more about that here.
