Skinty McEdger posted:Someone I know was working a show in Norfolk when he got so distracted standing on the apron watching the freaks in the crowd that he legit missed the hot tag he was supposed to make. Change hot tag to a heel missing a tag due to the fans and this sounds like the best "ha ha look at the heel he's so foolish!" spot ever.

The context was the heel (Kaz, I think) getting the heat by doing a really sweet dropkick when his opponent was distracted, when he could have gotten actual heat by doing something that wouldn't have made people cheer. So when Lance talks about heels not needing to do moves, it is in the context of cool moves. Heels should do dastardly things so you actually care when the babyface makes his comeback. The things people like about AJ Styles, the things that make him a unique and worthwhile professional wrestler, are really cool moves that will get pops, so he shouldn't be a heel.

I like how the only way to have great matches is to do a bunch of cool moves. William Regal: lovely wrestler apparently.

DynamiteKidd posted:At some point it appears I said heels do need moves or something? I just pointed out some guys who do lots of moves but get plenty of heat as heels as proof of the idea that you can be a heel and do moves and get over. No, but you did say that not doing lots of cool moves = having lovely matches. Also every time Flair went to the top rope it ended in him looking a buffoon. That's about as far from doing a cool move as possible.

DynamiteKidd posted:Anyway, my point was: Would Lance rather AJ had bad matches? Would that really be so much better? Lance would rather AJ Styles be a babyface because all of the things that make him worthwhile are really cool. Those really cool things play a significant role in his having good matches. He tends to play babyface on the indies (and is very over) against local heels for that reason, because he does really cool moves that people like to see and cheer for. It also doesn't help that at the time in TNA AJ Styles looked like the literal definition of babyface, as opposed to the angsty hair/scruffy beard combo he's been running lately. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jul 19, 2015 |

In general, fans will never get tired of watching people they love completely ruining goobers. That Goldberg stayed as over as he did despite being something like the 8th most important guy on any given Nitro after winning the World Title is a testament to how huge he was.

We have TNA to credit for any remotely recent Goldust stuff anyone liked, because TNA showed Dustin 'oh my god what has my life become'. Alternately, TNA won the long game because we indirectly have them to blame for Stardust.

Alain Post posted:Someone can contradict me, because I'm just making GBS threads this out from the top of my head, but I'd guess that most of WWE's fanbase has not watched any wrestling promotion outside of WWE, at least since the death of WCW. If you discount TNA this is probably true, but at its peak TNA was getting 1.4-1.5 million viewers a week (peaking at over 2 million for Hogan's debut quarter-hour). I think most of WWE's fanbase has seen at least some TNA and then went 'oh wow what a minor league act thank god for Raw'.

The rules are to qualify you need 20 matches in a year or to have had one match in 7 different months, so Brock doesn't qualify. Jericho works tons of house shows.

Aesop Poprock posted:I actually don't know anything about TNA's match quality the past few years since it's so overshadowed by everything else but I'm going to assume a match with Lashley and Bobby Roode wasn't anywhere close to a 4+ star match in any universe According to profightdb Lashley/Roode's past matches have been in the 3.5-3.75 range. Had the BFG match been in front of a crowd that cared then I could see it getting 4 stars. As it stood it ended up being the one match on the show that was better than 'ok' and also the one match that didn't feel like it went 4 minutes too long.

DJExile posted:SOmeone needs to explain the value of the TNA tape library to me because there are like 4 matches in TNA's history worth watching, and they're all on youtube. The TNA tape library has almost a decade of stellar Kurt Angle matches as well as a lot of Sting material, which alone would probably be enough to sell enough DVDs with the WWE machine behind it to easily outdo the cost of the library. Then after that you can sell DVDs where WWE makes fun of TNA constantly, which would probably also draw more money than TNA has ever made in their life.
