One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Dark is filmed around 1 in morning or later. Who cares if sloppy match looks sloppy. You know.

I think the distressing part is that Luchasaurus has been doing this a long time, and he was as lost as the other guy.

I also missed it was Cezar so kind of funny. But still, the undercard practice show had a bad match oh no.

I have no judgments for the performers everyone has a slip up. I do think it’s weird they didn’t edit it out, like you could at worst cut to the announce desk for a second or the ringside audience instead of leaving it in, but maybe they had their reasons for leaving it in.

I think the online wrestling culture of obsessing over flubs that last 1-3 seconds plucked from hours of weekly live performances is bizarre. The normal way to react to that is to think "oof rocky moment there" and then literally never think about it again in your life

Luchasaurus has been an incredibly popular tag team wrestler for a year and a half, Cezar Bononi is literally a jobber's henchman, who cares

karmicknight posted:

I encourage people to treat botches as funny things to laugh at rather than Grave, Embarrassing moments that speak to serious problems with the wrestlers involved. The Evil Uno/Marko Stunt spot in the tag team battle royale would be a treasured clip in the wrestling equivalent of Shaqtin a Fool (which uh I guess is just Botchamania)

I think some of you guys care a little too much about what a bunch of obnoxious WWE fans on Twitter think. Botch was bad, you laugh about it and move on. It's not necessarily a slight against AEW or the folks involved.

Cezar has almost certainly not been wrestling since 2004. He was probably wrestling for a year before WWE signed him, and he spent 5 years in the PC as a big jacked up guy. He's terrible, it's probably not his fault. The PC is just bad at training people. But he stinks. He got completely lost here and there was no way Luchasaurus could save that. It was in no way his fault and when he realized it was only going to get worse he had tell Cezar to just reset and start over.

Right now Cezar is funny bad so I love him being on Dark for that reason, but I would also like to see him improve and have a job long term because WWE treated him really badly.

The thing about New Super Bloopers and the like is that in general they're treated as funny things you can laugh at, not "Ted Danson that loving hack, messed up his line on The Good Place five times, who told this doofus he can be on a sitcom??" or pulling out a string of 'botches' to 'prove' that Paul Pierce has no business being in the NBA, much less the Hall of Fame.

Yeah, I'm not saying the clip isn't funny. It's incredibly funny. And it's also funny to see people who think it's an actual problem or that they should of edited it out. If anything I think I'd get mad if they got into the habit of constantly editing out sloppy spots. Wrestling is improvisational, the bad spots are a part of the art form.

I understand your point, this has nothing to do with it, I just want to point out that paul pierce should be in the hall of fame just for selling a fake injury like he was dying because he doo doo’d his shorts and had to go change. During a playoff game. And came back like a hero.

Botches and miscues are part of the chaotic WCW energy of AEW and I'll take some groaners from green/raw talent over the WWE style where everyone wrestles the exact same match over and over again.
