Yes, but:



Seriously, what was the deal with that move? Between that and the elbow to the corner botchfest, a newer friend I've watched with basically thinks Bayley is a complete joke.

I'm not sure why this move baffles goons so much. It's supposed to be a silly playful move that frustrates the heel because it makes them look silly. Like how is that confusing at all.

It sounds like the friend isn't confused at all, as they think the person who does joke moves is a joke.

Yeah no other wrestler has ever had a joke move. You're right.

It doesn't really make the opponent look silly, though. They're just laying there while Bayley looks like she's having an episode.

So then why doesn't the heel move?

Like seriously the psychology of the move is perfectly fine it really shouldn't need to be explained. It makes the heel mad because the face isn't taking this as seriously as them.

wrestling is theatrics and aesthetics, not logic, and bayley looks retarded doing that move

And the heel looks retarded for allowing that move to happen to them. Almost as if it's the point. Crazy I know.

like the spinning move is dumb looking but i think its occurred once on the main roster? the fashion police bringing mops and squirt guns has happened multiple times but no one really seems to care about that

It's because they are men and this forum hates women.

in how much detail do agents plan out matches anyway? is it like step by step or more "yeah and then you hit your big spot at around this time"

There has been a lot of stuff coming out about matches being pretty much fully scripted. Also Bayley did that move in NXT and got over just fine. Which means that she is being booked poorly leading to fans not caring.

Clearly the executives who work backstage and have no interest or history in the business of wrestling know what's best and it's the talent that are trying to kill the business.

They almost never have to talk in NXT or run their own matches.

So then what is the difference in wwe when it's been pointed out that the matches are pretty heavily scripted and are practiced out.

Aphrodite posted:

The difference is people saying that are incorrect?

House shows don't run the same match as the PPVs. They run the same matchups and test some spots but being able to have a match flow is important.


Those guys still have good matches on the main roster.

Except Nakamura.

I've seen house show matches where they have the exact same match on a televised show.

I want people to stop simultaneously jerking off about how WWE Is Bad Because Indy Geeks Suck quasi-gimmick posting while also making GBS threads on the few things about WWE that actually are enjoyable, like both midcard title feuds and for the most part most of the in ring action on PPVs. A lot of stuff in WWE is squandered. But that's 95%+ on the people backstage, not [insert wrestler here] being bad. It's dumb as hell and I genuinely can't tell who's joking and who is just stupid sometimes.

I agree with you very hard here. Wwe is bad for a lot of reasons but the talent is straight up not one of them.

I figure it's just the stop go booking. Where they are put into a feud with Cena, Cena wins then the dude is jobbing for the next year then they get a minor push, the fans don't care because we watched him job for the last year and then wwe stops pushing them again.

I said it already they should put Nia in a mask. She really does have to sweet of a face to be a heel.
