I think Ringside News needs to join the Trevor club, in that we just don't mention him any more.

He's not having a good day.

If you as a non wrestler booked yourself to be world champ then you don't get to call anyone else a mark.

Not only that, but also in a match in which you spend way too much time beating the poo poo out of the champion, coming off like you're loving King Kong.

Didn't Russo also book himself to beat Flair in a match where he spent ages in the Figure-Four without tapping?

Thankfully cheering is back in Japan, so we'll be able to hear all of those fans cheer uproariously the next time Okada uses the Money Clip.

I'm not sure if Russo actually booked it that way or if it was a typical late-WCW production screwup -- there was supposed to be a load of "blood" dropped on them while Russo was in the figure-four, but it took forever for the blood to actually fall.

Yep, fans totally boo submission holds, which is why the crowd got continually louder and more hype while Jericho had Mox in the Walls of Jericho for an entire commercial break

And I know these dorks don't watch Japanese stuff outside of twitter clips but I saw a really good match end with a Figure 4 Leglock just this week

These people always give the game away by mentioning specific wrestlers who used to work a body part sometimes. If it was universal then you wouldn’t have to name any names.

Funny thing is, most of the time you'd watch these wrestler work over a specific body part, then win the match in a way that had nothing to do with it.

Like Arn would work an arm or leg, then win with a gordbuster or DDT.

I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

Am I misjudging the age of this type of wrestling fan? Are they in their 70s? Because I always get the feeling they're in their 40s and 50s which would have put them smack in the middle of growing up with Rock & Wrestling and the Attitude era in which case what the gently caress are they on about??

They just regurgitate stuff they heard on podcasts, almost verbatim. The only idea they're committed to is that older wrestling is good and newer wrestling is bad, and they will repeat anything they hear that justifies that belief, even if it doesn't make sense. That's why they'll criticise modern wrestling for having no pacing, no psychology, too OTT/goofy etc. then in the same breath say Attitude Era WWF is their favourite period in wrestling

You can tell the dumb rear end in a top hat doesn't actually watch any wrestling because if he did, he'd see chain wrestling and submission spots get pops and big reactions on Dynamite and Rampage every week. Like this kid is nuts says, they're just regurgitating poo poo they heard cornette say.

The part about a figure four or cobra clutch getting boos is just so dumb. Moxley wins with a headlock and gets cheered for it. People would love a figure four or cobra clutch.
