And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Should we tell him?

I've heard more than one American say that. "It's not wrestling, it's dancing"

I mean yeah I guess kinda but pro wrestling moves are choreographed too so I don't really see the meaningful difference. It's probably just dumb dudebros who want everything to look like a real fight, which is super boring

Weird how often people who...compete? in lucha libre can seamlessly transfer their not-pro-wrestling skills into pro wrestling. Weird that for example New Japan & Dragongate send their young wrestler to Mexico to compete in this not wrestling artform? And I think NOAH just sent Junta Miyawaki there too

Notable pro wrestlers FTR have the AAA tag titles too, so clearly pro wrestlers can excel too in this thing which is totally not pro wrestling

Yeah it was some dude responding to this



that pro wrestling isn’t that and it’s all because of ”furniture spots” and leaps outside the ring.

I replied with ”It’s been like that for decades. You can ask Mexican fans about it”

But now I know Mexican pro wrestling isn’t in fact pro wrestling. Cool 2 know

The reason FTR have the belts is the complete opposite of this though. They are being booked as foreigners that refuse to respect lucha libre and are intentionally not working a lucha libre style.

That's Sports Entertainment, which is explicitly opposed to pro wrestling. As the Jericho Appreciation Society has asserted, the sports entertainment skillset, among its many tools, uses the tools of pro wrestling to beat up pro wrestlers, much in the same way Shakespeare claims that "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."

its a mix of a little bit of everything because the roster brings a lot of different styles together. for example cody does kings road, roman does strong style, and ricochet does lucha libre

I will disagree with Matt only on his point that wrestling is not theatre, because professional wrestling is one of the most taxing and demanding forms of physical theatre in the world, and it frankly deserves to be treated with the same respect as any other kind of theatre

the rest of his tweet is completely correct

When I think of catch wrestling I think of promos and scripts

I don't see what's so bad about that opinion. The amount of wrestlers who can cut write and cut a good promo on their own is probably not very large. It's all well and good to point to someone like Mox or Eddie or Jericho as an example of people thriving without any guidance but you also get poo poo like Dante telling Scorpio Sky that "Just because Sammy can't challenge you, doesn't mean I can't" or whatever it was. Having someone around to help people who aren't good at that side of pro wrestling makes sense to me.

Because there is a very successful wrestling TV show that does not use writers right now and historically there have been a lot of shows without them.

Also because the account that posted it is Catch Wrestling U.
