Deathmatch Moth Martina is certainly not a direction I was expecting from her.

My friend pol called me weird for this, but I'd greatly like Martina to be my best friend, or perhaps marry me. No biggie if she won't.

Battle riot was okay. I have a hard time caring about indies that just try to do WWE but with lower production values.

Yeah, I'm pretty luke warm on MLW but I'm not sure what I see in them as "trying to be WWE." I mean, we're not still considering "sports entertainment" a "WWE thing", are we? Or just storylines and characters? MLW didn't even go to the really over the top places Lucha Underground or Impact are going. Their stories actually seem pretty grounded and rooted in wrestling stuff. If its just a wrestling style I feel like WWE has signed so many guys like AJ, Joe, Steen, La Sombra, Nakamura, etc that they're basically doing a quasi "hybrid" style just becasue of their roster so it would be hard not to do a similar "hybrid" American style promotion without just going all in one style.

ehhhhh. Last year they had segments where ICE detained Lucha Bros and Low Ki shanked Konnan with a spike for 30 seconds uninterrupted, they haven't been perfect in the story department As for Battle Riot (I'm assuming that's the particular thing that's getting the WWE comparison) lots of companies do Royal Rumble knockoffs, at least this one isn't called a Rumble

I'm not saying MLW stories have been GOOD. As I said I'm luke warm. But the Low Ki/Konnan thing actually felt very old school southern wrestling to me, just with a latinx spin. I thought that whole Low Ki hired gun/trophy collector/will do anything to keep the belt run was kind of flawed but very old school in a way I definitely don't feel like I've seen from WWE for a very, very long time. I actually somehow completely missed the ICE thing or just don't remember it. I assume that was part of the Salina/Konnan struggle for their contracts?

mlw is dull as dirt and you'd have no idea the talented malcontents, unknowns, and lucha guys were any good if you only followed mlw just like with the wwe and half the guys stac goat mentioned

It doesn't necessarily make them WWE imitators.

I do think that's basically MLW's problem. There's just nothing exciting going on. If someone asked me what in MLW they have to see I'd have to go like back to the first Battle Riot when Lawler was still kind of hot (and even that wasn't like a "must watch"). There's just no creative spark to their booking. But I don't think that has anything to do with whether or not they're trying to be like WWE. There's probably some bad luck involved that Low Ki and Lawlor had terrible matches after being built forever. But MLW also dragged that out for so long. And the Lucha Bros had the tag belts forever and even though I really enjoy Salina there was kind of no payoff or anything for that or their run. And the Hart Foundation are just kind of collecting belts with nothing really to it. My viewing stopped right around MJF seemed to be building a group to go against them, but it doesn't sound like that's really created a buzz (and I get the impression MJF might be gone and exclusive to AEW?).

MLW definitely tries to present things differently than WWE. They just aren't very good at presenting a compelling product. It's clear they want to present something different from WWE from the announcing to the presentation of the "fighters" but at the end of the day MLW is pretty not great.

Yeah, they have lots of good names but the TV shows are all pretty boring. Sometimes they're good, very rarely great. It's truly bizarre.

beyond is extremely punk rock and i love it for that. i watched episode 1 of uncharted territory while i was doing the taxes, i liked it, i'll keep watching, i was definitely hoping for some like quick cutaway promos between matches and stuff, seems like it'd take it to the next level and wouldn't be that hard to do if they just pre-tape things. but still, i like it and it's a lot more interesting of a weekly indie show than mlw. i made this lil pocket sized marko stunt and i like him a lot so im gonna post him here https://twitter.com/FreezeGraphic/status/1116103873133973505

That's my jam. It makes things look like a sport, no matter how outlandish things occasionally get, and it gives people a net to work over. Now, Lucha Underground and then later TNA went full-on telenovella presentation with the backstage stuff which is so far in the other direction, and I don't like that either, but at least it's different than WWE's approach, for better or worse. Backstage skits with people who can't act their way out of a paper bag just make me cringe. It's not fun to watch. It's like going to a bad improv show where you're just embarrassed for everybody involved and want to squirm out of your seat. The wrestling's great, and Schiavone and Cornette have made everything that isn't backstage into a very watchable show, but I just can't stand that WWE style backstage stuff.

My favorite version of that is the NJPW post match interview, which WWE actually tried to do a while back. Just a few comments after the match, but it allows for so much (ex. ZSJ's post match comments during the 2018 New Japan Cup, Tanahashi's comments after the MSG show)

I love the NJPW post match comment thing. Pressure's off, just go out there and say something. So many stories get told in those 2-3 minute promos without needing promos on the proper show.

Sometimes they’re things that never see the light of day otherwise, like Oka insisting he had a named tag team with Kitamura (MONSTER RAGE!!), or all of the 2017 G1 Bullet Club promos where they would ignore the results of the match to talk about Yujiro’s sex life and ball size.
