I kmow there's other kinds of beaches but I was curious and the point in America furthest from the ocean is just outside Allen, South Dakota, near the Nebraska border. They should hold there, in a soybean field. Real field of dreams vibes

I think it says even more that the framing is "there was a manifesto calling people out", completely glossing over the many, many points Lid made that were not tied to any one poster in particular.

Are we getting to the point where in every new aew thread, every poster should introduce themselves staking out their position on 1) the women's division, 2) the booking of forbidden door & the njpw relationship in general, and 3) the men's tag division now?

1)Jade is mommy
2)It’s ok, where is Danielson
3)Glad Jurassic Express lost, the Bucks are good. Glad the Hardy’s don’t have the belt. Sort of wish proud and powerful would have had a run already. Feel like we’ve had less traditional team vs team tag matches lately but maybe i’m forgetting some of them.

projecthalaxy posted:

And similar posts about how NJPW is serious wrestlers doing real style matches and hitting each other for real etc

And yet here are promos and skits being shown to me so I am left saying ???

Basically a lot of action in the ring is the commentary team attempting to interpret the feelings emotions and actions of the wrestlers themselves. One thing that tends to sell stuff a lot for me is the announcer doing the dramatic entrances to set up the big matches at NJPW papes.

For instance in this https://vimeo.com/658401216 shingo match someone posted earlier. The walkout announcer is doing this whole almost poetic narration about jeff cobb's fall to evil [Translation mine] "A battle of limitless power, a conflict of strength on strength meeting over the NEVER openweight belt. A match that can only happen on top of the cerulean blue canvas (of the NJPW ring). Turning away from family, friends, everyone he held dear and joining the United Empire in a shocking turn. Throwing the past away and and choosing to be completely reborn. Surely he has the strength and the skill, even in Madison Garden he laid his hands on not one but two belts. But even that was not enough to keep him in the spotlight. The jealousy he held in his heart twisted into a black knot and took control of his mind. This rage and anger transformed him... that smiling Jeff Cobb of the past is no more. Is Takagi prepared for what's about to come? His greatest... and worst challenger has arrived. A fearsome duel has arrived". That's literally just 90 seconds of the video but these intros for their big matches paint a really dramatic picture without like forcing someone to act the scene out for you.

The commentary desk spends a lot of the patch talking about what they *think* is going through the mind of each competitor more like a baseball game or something than a melodrama. It's a subtle difference but it creates this barrier where we the audience are invited to interpret the actions of the wrestlers more like deeply because they're not just gonna turn around and tell the camera something when they wanna. For me personally it means I read a bit more into the matches or the individual movements of the match because they themselves are supposed to be more evocative.

Like the desk spends most of that match talking about Takagi just not being as strong as Jeff Cobb, which makes it dramatic when Cobb throws him off of the first pin attempt like a good 3 feet. And puts a real exclamation point on when Takagi uses the slingshot off the ropes to suplex Cobb.
