TheCool69 posted:I guess this is the right time and place to ask this, but somehow i dont get all the complaining people do when someone signs a contract . Imagine if your favorite wrestler was short had an accent and they signed for WWE. A company that regularly buries talent or just dosen't use them at all. This is a company with over 210 people signed and nobody is over, why would a new signing end up any different. If they just want money that's perfectly fine with me, it's just disappointing if you want to see someone reach their full potential as a performer

NikkolasKing posted:I got two random little questions: It's all relative to the person taking it generally so if the person you're lifting is good at jumping and posting it'll be easier and if you are super strong you can also make up for it pretty easily. I have a pretty weak upper body/core at the moment and I can pump handle slam/bodyslam/verical suplex small people but I couldn't do any of those to someone who can't jump for poo poo. technique for alot of these is also very important, which is why super old wrestlers can still do alot of power moves.

And what have been some garbage ones? part of a truly terrible angle but regal turning face by saying to triple h "i may be a bad man but I am not a bad enough man to ever think of hurting eugene" worked me extremely hard all of big shows face turns were terrible, he would go from punching people out one week to being happy and jokey the next with no context or explanation.

Whether they were the mentioned smug heel smile, or his "oh poo poo, I poked the bear and am now about to get my arse kicked" chicken poo poo heel faces. Maki Itoh has some really good ones, especially in the bigger matches. Punk was also great at it.

explosivo posted:Is an arm drag like the first move wrestlers learn? It always felt like a very "fundamentals-ey" move to me and I see it in a lot of matches so I always kinda assumed it was a "week 1 of wrestling school" move. for me it was lots of chain wrestling, shoulder tackles, clotheslines, hip tosses, slams and then you'd learn stuff like arm drags but they are a pretty early on in there.

You can throw a pretty bealivable worked punch by having your fist open slightly (imagine you are holding a small tube in your hand) and then throw a normal looking punch without much risk of damage. although my punches never looked as good as ibushi's do (neither did anything I ever did)

Critical posted:thoughts on taz's take here? I think it's fair from Taz. Frankly wrestling fans use the lingo more than actual wrestlers do from my experience of when I was in locker rooms with people and so it just comes off as very very tryhard when using it speaking to actual wrestlers. My one caveat is that alot of the terms are very funny and handy to use especially outside of the context of wrestling, describing bad guys in movies as the heels will always be a good time.

It's a dream of mine to go but I also have a full time schedule it's classes usually but many wrestling schools will expect you to put down a decent amount of money as a commitment after a certain point. most people at wrestling school have "real" jobs, including the trainers.
