Show was mainly the heels all trying to outfuck each other, which is interesting and never really happens

Counterpoint: it absolutely did feel like a cop out

I'm tired of wrestlers just kicking people in the balls when the ref is distracted. It's become cliche and it's a lazy way for a heel to win while "protecting" the opponent. I thought the whole point of this loving tournament was to have straight competition with winners and losers (and draws), for it to be different to what we normally see. So far, it's same old. No reason why Switchblade couldn't have won clean. Hoping we don't see more of this.

so you haven't watched much Jay White before huh

Only his AEW stuff and his awesome recent match with Kenny in Japan that didn't end in a nut shot.

Just tired of nut shots in AEW. it's lazy. Find a new way to cheat. Don't book a tournament when you're loving scared to have people lose clean!

Curious: does the G1 have a lot of people cheating with nut shots, or are we just lucky?

I think Jay White has won literally every single G1 match he's ever won with a nutshot

Sorry yeah I meant "invisible" cameras instead of "hidden" ones - basically I meant the hyper overproduced shenanigan videos like the MJF/Cole/Strong and LFI-In-Mexico videos that they've been doing recently.

Technically they're not even invisible, like at the start of the trampoline park one Cole acknowledged the camera, but then there's slow motion closeups of kids getting smashed with dodgeballs so 🤷‍♂️.

I probably should have put "go back to sports-based presentation" instead, but those terms feel equally as loaded.

remember Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss beating up goons at a gas station

That one, like a bunch of Darby and some Lance Archer packages, were really well done because they leaned into a style that made sense for the character and built them up.

The slow motion balls to the face cut to slow motion extreme close up laughing over and over is just not interesting. I remember watching and getting aggravated at what could be a fun idea being presented so poorly. A few wide shots would have gone a long way. You never actually saw the wrestlers interacting with the kids. Recreate a Dodgeball scene. Something. At least the boat one had the moment where MJF might have hit Cole.

well yeah thats just Jimmy Jacobs and Twitch Boy Chuggs thinking that poo poo is funny
