dammit you guys are making me actually want to watch this because I want to see a man die

Look what you've done

Honestly you don't have anything better to do with your life than to watch a murder if you're still posting in WWE GDTS

Great in the ring, on the mic, in the booth, they get pops and heat at will.

What can't they do?

by the way a table elimination match is stupid because that eliminates the possibility of awesome weapon spots in a match filled with people who made a living off of repeatedly killing themselves and fat people who'd make a table spot look gruesome

The gently caress are you smoking? The whole point of the stipulation is for weapon spots and fat people going through tables.

No you don't. It's an alright match or whatever but nobody gives a gently caress about either of these guys or this feud, hasn't the entire time and the entire existence of it runs counter to what people actually want so this is more or less the crowd the company deserves, though maybe not these two guys individually.

You'd think that at this point, people would take Clint Eastwood's classic line in Unforgiven to heart and realize deserve's got nothing to do with it.

don't blame the crowd for bad booking and bad wrestling

The wrestling was good and the intra-match booking was good. The main event booking leading up was booty, but the in ring product is done well.

gently caress Boston just in general and gently caress this crowd specifically.

i too want crowds that paid $100-300 to see the show to cheer and boo as props for me, the television viewer at home, to appreciate

gently caress this goon bullshit; if you're throwing hundreds of dollars to be unentertained you're either a fool or a narcissist.

Back in the day, if you didn't like a match, you just booed the poo poo out of it, sat on your hands, left, or chanted mean things about the match and threw things.

the build to the ppv was awful so people didn't care about the majority of the wrestling. If the crowd is sitting on their hands all night its a lovely crowd. This crowd was very into a couple of matches and shat on what they didn't like. That's a good crowd. The only thing there was absolute silence for was Rusev/Ryback and Charlotte/Paige and I don't really blame them for that!

The crowd shat on everything until each match got going. That's a testament to the in-ring doing its job in spite of the horrible loving pre-event booking and Boston being a blasted hellscape.

Not true. You would just complain to guest services until they gave you better seats and then you'd shut your mouth cause live wrestling is sick no matter what.

Guest Services never gave me poo poo because they don't exist in flea market indies. :smith:

And there's a difference between swallowing poo poo and appreciating workrate and proper in match storytelling. Also what Hammerstein said.

Oh Snapple! posted:

what i and a lot of other people saw saw was a really loving boring match and most people don't give a single solitary poo poo about "risks" or what they're attempting to do. we want to be entertained,. they failed to do this.

i repeat: the crowd doesn't owe them poo poo. in fact, it is actually the other way around.

Is this ironically dumb or shoot dumb? I can't tell.

The point is they GOT invested and instead of building off of that, they went right back to getting themselves over and faking being jaded, only to get reinvested again.

It was a Something Awful GDT in real life.

E: Oh Snapple!: name one top guy in the WWE that was groomed to be the top guy who was actually good at what you think the other 90% is. gently caress, name one consistently top guy who was. If you say Daniel Bryan or CM Punk I will laugh at you on the Internet
