The point about WWE needing to cut down on gimmick matches (and possibly the industry as a whole, although if AEW does it, I'm not sure how they can justify keeping Jimmy Havoc around) is 1000% fair, not only does it rob those matches of any meaning, but by forcing the matches to happen because 'oh poo poo it's May/December/February' there's nothing except trying to innovate and top whatever has been done before. SOMEtimes that can lead to cool poo poo that might even be safer than previous stuff, like the New Day/Usos HIAC match, but normally it leads to crazier spots that often don't LOOK as dangerous as they really are. Plus the more you do them at random, the less they work to pop a rating. Just like having the top stars wrestling on Raw USED to be a tactic to pop a rating against Nitro and now is a recipe for failure, doing multiple ladder matches on a random Wednesday show is just gonna explode Mia Yim's face for minimal gain.

Endorph posted:but for real setting the precedent of all this insane tlc flippy poo poo was awful for the people in the industry. im sure desensitization to violence would have escalated stuff anyway, plus people getting 'smart' to it, but it used to be that if a dude went above the second rope the entire crowd got up on their feet in amazement but now you need to do a triple moonsault off a ladder onto another ladder to get 17 likes on a gif of it on twitter Not really, you just have to do a flip landing on your feet and sell it really well. Like, seriously, the last one I recall being SUPER viral was the Ospreay/Ibushi NANI?!? moment from last December.
