There was a binder dude at wrestle queendom but he was significantly younger and honestly might have been a production dude for all I know since when I got through the meet and greet it was still pretty empty. I've bought a few 8x10s before but its basically a "oh poo poo I've spent a while talking to a wrestler and need to buy SOMETHING and they don't have/have terrible shirts so that'll do" and they're sitting in a drawer somewhere: probably ought to do something with them to protect them a little. Also none of mine are, well, of children but of like Emi Sakura and cool people.

Nobody ever asks ESPN to not post today's baseball score or the soccer world cup winners or the first pick from the NBA or NFL draft. It's a unique brand of idiots Dave gets

The guy commenting was being a dick, but it would be kind of cool to know which are the best matches on any event without knowing the results. Sometimes I only have 30-40 minutes to give to watching something.

And there are places to go for that kind of recommendation/info that aren't news sites designed to report news that results, by definition, are part of. For users of this forum, the New Japan/G1/match recommendations threads have each been consistently very good about not spoiling users who enter asking for general help with what to watch

Within ten minutes of an issue going up you can go to r/SquaredCircle, go to the new posts section, and find multiple threads where people post just the star ratings.

The BBC news (used to?) put up the Premier League match scores up and warn people to look away if they don't want to know the scores. There's a highlights show every evening that some people try to watch unspoiled but that isn't as common since shows like Soccer Saturday started with live score updates.

Yeah it's exactly for this reason. The news before Match of the Day will tell you "YO SPOILER TAGS" so it doesn't ruin the show you're about to watch. This worked great in the 70's but in this day and age you have to go dark to avoid scores. What they don't tell you is they give you the finger when your eyes are closed.

At least once I remember them doing the "look away now" bit and the newscaster just accidentally read the scores out of habit or something.

and NJPW is pretty solid that if you hate a match, ff 15 minutes and its a new match. Unless its a main event then you can turn it off.

Sometimes I only have 30-40 minutes to give to watching something. It costs money, but the Voices of Wrestling G1 reviews on Patreon are formatted perfectly for this. Joe Lanza starts every episode with a spoiler-free rundown on what to watch and what to skip, including the undercard tags. Then he gives a spoiler warning and goes into a heavily detailed match by match show review.

I think that rear end in a top hat who asked Dave to please consider his bad idea, should probably gently caress off and stop watching wrestling if he wants that stupid poo poo. It's so drat stupid what he said.

the cagematch card with guide page is good, spoiler-free with community ratings + meltzer stars. idk how soon after an observer they update it, but its useful when catching up with tournaments https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=231885&page=3

Low Desert Punk posted:It's kind of difficult to do a review of a twenty minute pro wrestling match without talking about major spots and the finish, unless the depth of your analysis is "good match ****1/4" You could absolutely do this, though. Very easily. Just a "if you just want the score here it is, full review after the page break." Lots of places do this for other things, from movies to video games. It's not that much of an ask for narrative fiction. You can even do a full paragraph without spoilers and specifics. "The storytelling was good, but the selling wasn't quite what it should have been. Here's how the crowd reacted. There's a big moment halfway through. Strong finish. Full review after page break, 3 stars." I honestly don't think it's that unreasonable.

It's loving pro wrestling, not Game of Thrones. A weekly newsletter publishing results from shows that are days, if not weeks, old does not need "spoiler warnings." If you're so afraid of spoilers you can always, like, just watch the matches before reading. quote:"The storytelling was good, but the selling wasn't quite what it should have been. Here's how the crowd reacted. There's a big moment halfway through. Strong finish. Full review after page break, 3 stars." This is garbage writing and the absolute worst way to review things Benne fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jul 10, 2019 |

At this point people who complain about spoilers are becoming worse than people who deliberately spoil things Its a magazine for wrestling review and archiving and anyone who buys it knows exactly what they are getting and they have no right to complain about spoilers

I don’t think it’s really possible to do spoiler free reviews that go deeper than “this is a match you should go out your way to see” or “this match stinks”; when you start telling people the story of the match then that by itself is a spoiler. My view on this is slightly impacted by me being a Joshi fan and to go spoiler free on that would require basically never checking twitter so I’ve learned to enjoy matches after being spoiled.

A great match can fool you even if you do know. Two examples from the last year I recall are Tanahashi/Okada from Dontaku 2018, where I got fully sucked in right up until the finish, and it wasn't even the spoilers that made me realise it was the end, it was just the work. And Tanahashi/Ospreay vs Golden Lovers from the Road to WK show, where I've watched it like 3 times, and I still think Ospreay's gonna win during it.

That's honestly all I want out of a match review. Go watch or skip. Wrestling is the only thing where I give a poo poo about spoilers. Most things I actively seek out the spoiler before I watch it. Wrestling I don't do that. I also don't care that much - most of the BOSJ I watched after being told what happens.
