I have not heard the "f word" in so long that it was really loving jarring. But goddamn I love these old fuckers coming in and just cutting promos and getting so much heat from these crowds.

Prazak had also called the 2 BLP shows earlier in the day, so he'd been calling matches since like 12:15 (he showed up late to the first show). If he was trashed, he earned it.

yeah the whole NGI was a complete banger. GCW World Title Nick Gage Invitational 4 Semi Final Three Way Death Match Nick Gage (c) vs. Kody Rice vs. Matthew Justice -I didn't know anyone in this match but I liked Kody Rice because he was big. Nick Gage Invitational 4 Semi Final Three Way Death Match Jimmy Lloyd vs. Orin Veidt vs. Yuko Miyamoto -Jimmy Lloyd is slowly morphing into Zandig with hair and that's loving boss. Nick Gage Invitational 4 Semi Final Three Way Death Match Mance Warner vs. Matt Tremont vs. SHLAK -Mance got blood all over a fan, great poo poo Nick Gage Invitational 4 Semi Final Three Way Death Match Alex Colon vs. Eric Ryan vs. Markus Crane -BIG RED DICK Four Way Match Alex Zayne vs. Blake Christian vs. Gringo Loco vs. Jake Lander -crazy flippy poo poo, several WHAT THE gently caress WAS THAT moments Singles Match Marko Stunt (w/Logan Stunt) vs. Tracy Smothers -went too long but was worth it because we found out Marko Stunt wants to gently caress Tracy's daughter GCW World Title Nick Gage Invitational 4 Final Four Way Death Match Nick Gage (c) vs. Alex Colon vs. Mance Warner vs. Yuko Miyamoto -Match of the night, insane poo poo

lost my old email posted:i love that doors are somehow cheaper than tables now It probably also helps that doors tend to look thicker than tables but are essentially just an empty honeycomb structure with a slim board on each side, so they're easier to handle and take bumps through. Unless of course if they use tables made out of massive oak.

If they cushion impact better and reduce the risk of the Bob Holly back injury, gently caress yeah kill everyone with doors (where context appropriate).

Tables always made sense in the ECW arena because it was a bingo hall, and on indy shows, they use them to do meet and greets and signings and concessions, but why are there just random tables under every ring that just, like, live there on wrestling shows? Doors are an even bigger stretch and don't make sense at all ever.

It's wrestling, some things aren't worth overthinking. They are there because it looks cool and is relatively safe when people are thrown through them.

forkboy84 posted:It's wrestling, some things aren't worth overthinking. They are there because it looks cool and is relatively safe when people are thrown through them. When you bring friends over to watch wrestling who only know who Hulk Hogan and The Rock and sometimes Goldberg and Austin are, the more times you have to say "I know it doesn't make sense, but just go with it" the less likely they're going to buy in. The filing of most wrestling shows from the past few decades is they're seriously unapproachable. They're too long, they don't make sense, and they're full of things that we've all become numb to that just shouldn't happen very often if at all. Up to a point, you should produce every wrestling show like it might be somebody's first. Superhero comics used to do that, and the moment they stopped, they began their long slide into irrelevance and subsequent rebirth into just being an idea farm for more popular media. Similarly, to hold on to those fans, things need to matter, so the events of the past have to have weight. It's a balancing act. But making a show that makes sense, is approachable, and has continuity isn't some far-flung pipe dream. It's entirely possible to do. If you make a show just for wrestling fans, the only people who'll watch it are people who are already wrestling fans.

That's brilliant. Goes to Japan in 1998, does 2 dates, doesn't wrestle for a Japanese group again until Wrestle Kingdom V where he beats the ultimate loser Tetsuya Naito for the TNA championship.

LividLiquid posted:I don't completely disagree, but it's a symptom of a greater problem. We say "just don't think about it" a lot in wrestling, and I honestly believe it's one of the biggest barriers of entry to creating new fans. Eh. The same can be said with every television show. If Dr Gregory House is such a brilliant diagnostician then why does he get it wrong 5 or 6 times before he gets it right? Because drama. Yes, there are plenty things in wrestling that can take you out of it, but "why are there tables under the ring?" is so minor. It's so you can put someone through a table. It's one step removed from "why do Irish whips work?" and it's because once upon a time wrestling wasn't worked and the fights went on forever and eventually interest waned. So they started working it, and as you work the match you start doing more and more staff that clearly isn't real. Irish whips. Huracarranas. 450 splash. How does a Russian Leg Sweep hurt the guy taking it and not the guy giving it when they both take back bumps? If you sit down to watch a fantasy show you accept the logic that allows magic and dragons and elves to exist. If you watch a wrestling show you just know there's going to be an excess of tables under the ring.

You're never going to have a version of pro wrestling that's realistic. That's not at all what I'm talking about. Tables aren't even a hill I'd die on here, by any stretch. They're just one example of a greater ethos that's been slowly taking over wrestling and that's the issue of cargo culting. Somebody said it about Dolph Ziggler earlier and I've got it on the brain. Wrestling keeps doing things because it's been doing them without thinking of if it should, or why, or when. Too many things happen just because they happen. Every promo in WWE gets interrupted. Nobody ever comes to the ring, says a thing, then leaves, leaving us wanting more. Why are we doing this? Because we've been doing this. Because Austin and McMahon did this and it worked then, so that's what we'll keep doing because we know it works. Only it doesn't work. That's more my point.

Clearly you're too upset to be arguing. valued coposter i was agreeing with you in slightly OTT fashion because i am having a bit of a weird one but be assured that i unironically enjoy shootstyle poo poo and also accept your wider point about not doing things a way just because that is the way it is done
