He keeps saying he’s mad at how the chops look, but like that’s the entire point of this spot right? Shibata is telling him hit me harder because your chops suck.

I was going to post “someone tell me the difference between this spot and hogan’s hulking up spot”, but



Oh, well, if the difference is “AEW bad”, then that all makes sense

It’s just funny to watch a match where the story is that the dude is running out of gas so the chops aren’t being effective which leads to shibata no selling and telling him to hit harder, and to not understand the story of the match. It just shows how wwe has ruined the idea of “storytelling” in pro wrestling.

The only "storytelling" they understand is when the wrestlers just stand in the ring screaming what the story is at each other.

Also adrenaline/fighting spirit spots are disrespectful wrestlers going into business for themselves and intentionally making their opponents look weak. Same with kicking out of anything at 1

I just watched a bunch of gifs of Danielson killing Jigsaw with elbows and listened to songs my friend made about Jimmy Loves Lacey and the Kingston Bundle Up promo. Then I watched 240p ManyCam streams of ROH and CHIKARA streams on justin.tv. Combine those with some bad quality "Top 10 moves" videos and YouShoot clips and you have a good education right there. :hai:

And there's so many of them! I don't think I've ever gone to a large live show where there wasn't one dude in earshot who spent the entire thing just sadly trying to pop their friends with just miserable angry jokes. Angry poo poo about the promotion, the wrestlers, so loving much about women. They always have encyclopedic knowledge of every person on the card, knowing all the indie no name jobbers there for the day, and the most dogshit opinions about all of it.

Those tickets were pretty expensive, too! Like drat I wish I had had the time and money to go to that show instead of inexplicably sitting around and pretending to be mad that I'm getting my money's worth. Clown shoes material. I would have loved to be there. It's so bizarre and miserable. Why even go to a live show at that point if you're not there to hoot and holler?

Yeah and then some weirdos became high level wikipedia editors and would do the most petty stuff like refusing to give zack ryder his own wiki page like 10 years into his career, and they also removed the entrance themes which was super interesting to me because they didn't want to turn wikipedia into "giant lists"
