Battle riot was okay. I have a hard time caring about indies that just try to do WWE but with lower production values.

El Gallinero Gros posted:...that's not really remotely accurate. I don't even particularly care for MLW, but their strategy thus far has been "push talented malcontents, unknowns and lucha guys". That's my jam. It makes things look like a sport, no matter how outlandish things occasionally get, and it gives people a net to work over. Now, Lucha Underground and then later TNA went full-on telenovella presentation with the backstage stuff which is so far in the other direction, and I don't like that either, but at least it's different than WWE's approach, for better or worse. Backstage skits with people who can't act their way out of a paper bag just make me cringe. It's not fun to watch. It's like going to a bad improv show where you're just embarrassed for everybody involved and want to squirm out of your seat. The wrestling's great, and Schiavone and Cornette have made everything that isn't backstage into a very watchable show, but I just can't stand that WWE style backstage stuff.

Cornette called him a professional malcontent and time seems to have proven him right on that one.

I'm never watching another episode of MLW until they take that loving air horn away from that rear end in a top hat who honks it the entire loving show. Jesus Christ, have some quality control.

coconono posted:Low Ki was making dates for MLW last I checked. Unfortunately, in both cases, it happens with a degree of regularity that calls their credibility into question. It doesn't help that they both take themselves way too seriously and have giant egos.

Cornette had his chance to show he wasn't just an old crank who can't accept that it isn't 1983 anymore when AEW started up and no, he just proved he hates everything he isn't booked on.

My views align with Cornette's on what wrestling should be, but he's a queerphobic douche who hates everything and it wasn't so much him making GBS threads on AEW that made me realize he was biased to gently caress, but how much he praises MLW despite the fact that they do all the same poo poo he claims to hate. Edit: That, and somebody linking that Ninja Turtle video.

Tables always made sense in the ECW arena because it was a bingo hall, and on indy shows, they use them to do meet and greets and signings and concessions, but why are there just random tables under every ring that just, like, live there on wrestling shows? Doors are an even bigger stretch and don't make sense at all ever.

forkboy84 posted:It's wrestling, some things aren't worth overthinking. They are there because it looks cool and is relatively safe when people are thrown through them. When you bring friends over to watch wrestling who only know who Hulk Hogan and The Rock and sometimes Goldberg and Austin are, the more times you have to say "I know it doesn't make sense, but just go with it" the less likely they're going to buy in. The filing of most wrestling shows from the past few decades is they're seriously unapproachable. They're too long, they don't make sense, and they're full of things that we've all become numb to that just shouldn't happen very often if at all. Up to a point, you should produce every wrestling show like it might be somebody's first. Superhero comics used to do that, and the moment they stopped, they began their long slide into irrelevance and subsequent rebirth into just being an idea farm for more popular media. Similarly, to hold on to those fans, things need to matter, so the events of the past have to have weight. It's a balancing act. But making a show that makes sense, is approachable, and has continuity isn't some far-flung pipe dream. It's entirely possible to do. If you make a show just for wrestling fans, the only people who'll watch it are people who are already wrestling fans.

lost my old email posted:gently caress irish whips shoot style all the way baby but that battleARTS kind of style where you mix in all the other poo poo it is weird & good and i think jeff hardy was actually in battleARTS in his backyarder gimmick There's conceits and then there's conceits. You're never going to have a version of pro wrestling that's realistic. That's not at all what I'm talking about. Tables aren't even a hill I'd die on here, by any stretch. They're just one example of a greater ethos that's been slowly taking over wrestling and that's the issue of cargo culting. Somebody said it about Dolph Ziggler earlier and I've got it on the brain. Wrestling keeps doing things because it's been doing them without thinking of if it should, or why, or when. Too many things happen just because they happen. Every promo in WWE gets interrupted. Nobody ever comes to the ring, says a thing, then leaves, leaving us wanting more. Why are we doing this? Because we've been doing this. Because Austin and McMahon did this and it worked then, so that's what we'll keep doing because we know it works. Only it doesn't work. That's more my point.

We JUST became friends and started going to indy shows. I'm sorry my bad luck has killed wrestling and caused a pandemic, y'all.
