Nick Jr. Face posted:That spot lasted...what, 10 seconds at most? It's a really dumb thing to be worked up about. Oh god, please don’t do the “I’m not angry! You’re angry!” thing. The Twitter thread with this video is definitely full of OTT criticism about her and AEW, I’m just pointing out it looks bloody awful and it’s a shame considering how hyped everyone is for her. It’s a bit like Shane’s dreadful spaghetti punches. Awful to the point of taking yourself out of your immersion watching wrestling. Hopefully, when I get caught up I’ll have seen more of her other work and I can get on board the hype train like others on PSP.

AEW's gonna use a million camera cuts to cover up weak mic shots now. Hope you're all happy.

that spot, like a million other spots in wrestling, made me think "oh that could have looked better" and then i move on

i can only speak for myself of course but when it comes to stuff like the mic shots i just say wow that looked like poo poo and then move on in 2 seconds never to think about it again. some say this is genius but to me it’s just a day in the life e: looks like another genius had to get their poo poo in before me

it mostly bothered me because the "I'm going to ignore my teammates brawling to finish my song" preceding it was a great character bit. the lame was made worse by juxtaposition. and I think talking about spots and stuff is fun, and cool, and criticizing a spot isnt always a personal attack on the performer.

The mic shots looked bad but then so did Lance Storm's chair shots in ECW. The WCW thread was laughing about one of Hogan's chair shots the other day. They're workers trying to protect other workers which is very good but the hits still look bad. I'd say just don't do them myself but who cares, it's a small thing you laugh about and move on. Pylons posted:Who the gently caress is a casual viewer I am. I only watch current wrestling occasionally and when I do it's in jeans and a t-shirt. Edit: gonna post that Hogan clip because it's great. https://youtu.be/bEvp5bBVZ8Y Hedgehog Pie fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Mar 13, 2021 |

The mic shots looked weak but Jon Moxley has been whiffing on his kicks for years and he's one of the most popular wrestlers in the world so maybe you don't need to be perfect

I dunno if anyone of note does a worse topé than Mox yet somehow no one talks about it. hosed up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efhy8zAkXEY&t=70s This happened on one of the early Dynamites and did more to expose the business than the weak mic shots, yet I can guarantee that most of you forgot this ever happened.

Everyone makes mistakes and there’s probably not a wrestler on TV who hasn’t inadvertently “exposed the biz” so I’m sure we will all get over it. I look forward to watching Itoh on Dynamite and seeing what the fuss is all about.

You're best bet is to check out her match in the Women's Eliminator tournament, it's definitely the best way she's been represented in AEW so far

Nick Jr. Face posted:I remember the Bucks and one of Daniels or Kazarian poking fun at it on BTE but not the angle itself. Guess I'm one of the few who forgot it wasn't so much an angle; during one of the Dark Order cult vignettes, the dude from the commercials called out the guy who supposedly portrayed that creeper, showed footage of the punches, accused him of whiffing the punches on purpose and commanding the others to attack him

Raskolnikov38 posted:how dare she not brain her coworker with a microphone I mean, the very nature of pro wrestling is pretending to hit people when you don't really hit them. If Maki's job there was to look like a killer who hosed up Hikaru, she did a bad job. But (most likely) her job is to be entertaining comedy jobber, so she did it like a japanese comedy wrestler would do a weapon shot, and people don't get that. https://twitter.com/annajay___/status/1370610690831048706 Anna is a good friend. https://twitter.com/tde_gif/status/1370560473633071105 Just because Chris himself retweeted it.

Botchamania is notorious for being only 15 seconds long and only releasing episodes once a month because things like the mic spot just never happen in this biz

People buy many things, and shoes both suffer wear and tear and also compliment other clothing choices in such a way that having multiple pairs makes sense.

That's a weird way to say bad company fails at creating stars then repackages them into other characters that also fail But sure, keep blaming it on what few fans there are left lol
