KungFu Grip posted:People wanted Daniel Bryan to face Brock and win Mat wrestling is an OK style for a little guy to face a big guy with. When Finn does that stupid rear end double stomp I can't possibly think it'll hurt someone that's like twice as big.

Well it doesn't look like it hurts even when Finn does it to someone his own size, so,

SamuraiFoochs posted:Getting double stomped from a height by a man Finn's size could legitimately easily kill someone if it wasn't worked, also you're dumb. well yeah, and there are a ton of submission holds that hurt but don't *look* like they hurt as much as say, the Steiner Recliner. The thing these moves have in common are that they are bad wrestling moves e) honestly this isn't a "making GBS threads on Finn" thing, I always think top rope stomps look like one of the least impactful moves you can do from the ropes. Even a flying elbow looks so much cooler.

Vaguido posted:The point is that this is fake bullshit fighting and that if you can't suspend your disbelief enough to believe the coup de grace would hurt just because the guy is tiny, maybe you should watch a different form of entertainment. This, of course, is completely ignoring the fact that Finn's finish is legitimately deadly and could kill someone twice your size in a shoot. the whole point of using moves that look like they hurt, rather than moves "that would hurt in real life" is to help the audience suspend disbelief

The standards are almost certainly higher today, it's just that there's so much more good work in the US compared to the 90s that people became accustomed to it. I sometimes rewatch Razor/HBK and wonder if it'd crack **** today.

FWIW there are very few matches from the 90s rated ****+ that I think would get like, "adjusted down" today, Mankind/HBK is still ****+, ditto Austin/Hart (SS 96 and Mania) and most Rey matches (though I still think the GAB match with Malenko was like, ***1/2, like, c'mon, don't debut a high flier with a mat match)

projecthalaxy posted:I'm not saying its a fair comparison or anything its just Owen indexes in my brain as "always has great match", as does the Shield trio, and the Bret vs Roman comparison made me interested to look it up Owen wasn't a main card guy for most of his career so he had far fewer opportunities to have great matches.

That's a lot, but that makes sense because John Cena is really good.

Roman has lost clean, as has Cena. Honestly Stone Cold was probably protected far more than those two, not to even mention Hulk.

Babyfaces working heel against crowd favorites is kind of in the WWE style guide at this point. Roman does it pretty frequently.

To be fair NXT let the wrestlers script out the matches really heavily and rehearse it repeatedly, which isn't how WWE works. Maybe they should change that so people will actually get trained.
