KOOOOOOOOOOOTAAA IIIBUUUSHHHI!
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I don’t understand why they positioned this kid to have such a competitive match with Swerve. It did Swerve no favors.
They've been hyping this kid up for awhile now so I understand why they didn't want to squash him in his debut match but you also don't give him all that offense. It definitely made Swerve look weak. The kid is good but he isn't that good to where he's trading near falls with Swerve. That's dumb.
Yep, I agree with you on this Brother!!...Blood and Guts and The Stadium Stampede should be ppv!!..
TK needs to look into that!!
Agreed. I also didn’t like that they put Scarlett over Bayley.
This guy looks like the kid that bags my groceries. WTF. He should not be on national TV until he puts on at LEAST 20 more pounds.
He looked like a generic indie wrestler pulling off the same indie wrestling moves and being saved by a wrestling veteran.
For an 18 year old kid, yes, he looked impressive, but whomever thought it was a good idea to give him a main event spot and so much time on AEWs top show, getting as much offense against a guy like Swerve, is a fucking idiot.
Brb
This was a horrible sell job by Nick Wayne last night. You can't just pop up immediately after a top rope powerbomb. You got to sell that like you died. Also THAT should've been the finish. Whomever structured this match doesn't know what he's doing.
It's a good thing we're in the wrestling thread because if we weren't....
Meh, why would I make that comment outside of a wrestling thread and more importantly outside that context of the video YOU posted?
Banned stuff
unprotected chair shots to the head
shots to the back of the head
buckle bombs
blind moves backward into the turnbuckle
fencing responses (unnatural position of arms following a concussion)
seizure sells
spitting
bleeding in the crowd
weapons or projectiles in the crowd
taking drinks or food from guests in the crowd or physical contact with the crowd.
Blood on objects thrown into the crowd.
Below is a list that could be adjusted by medical, legal, and coaching staff, and it is not set in stone. Here is the list that needs to be approved by a coach:
Spots and bumps on the ring apron and outside
Table/ladder/chair spots in and out of the ring (Only allowed with padding)
Any elevated spots outside of the barricades (dives and ladder spots on stage, around the arena, and other places outside of the ring)
All piledriver/tombstone variations, including: sit down drivers, inverted/poison hurricarana and vertebreakers
High-risk dives or top rope moves (450, 630, double moonsaults, SSP, etc.) Intentional bleeding (of any sort, not just blading)
Throwing people into/through/over ring steps, commentary table, bell table, or guardrails/barricades Weapon usage:
Chairs, pipes, kendo sticks, hammers, ring bells, bats, chains, etc. Title belts
Thumbtacks, skewers, barbed wire, and other sharp/puncturing objects o Powders, aerosol sprays, or liquids
Throwing any weapons or objects- chairs, etc.
Choking/strangling with hands or a weapon or hanging spots
Injury spots or angles, whether or not medical is involved/called to the ring
Any physicality in the crowd or crowd brawling
Any physicality involving referees, managers, extras, celebrities, or special guests."
"Wrestlers were encouraged to speak with coaches, talent relations, medical team or legal about the list. One talent said they believe it’s a good move by helping “streamline the show, avoid repeat spots and moves in general, and make more of the athletic spots that talent are capable of.”
Damn, that's pretty much every AEW guy's move set, especially Moxley. How will they be able to have a match? LOL
Lolz was just going to post this.
These moves aren't banned they just need approval from coaches. The idea is they don't want everyone doing the same thing in every match. A steamline of sorts. If the wrestlers in match 1 already did two particular moves then the wrestlers in match 2 can't do those moves in their match etc. I like this change because each match will be more unique.
That's Day 1 stuff they should have been doing from the beginning.
That's really going to handicap a lot of guys because they're so used to doing the same stuff in every match.
They also need to ban every guy doing a dive to the outside in every freaking match.
Maybe that falls under "Spots and bumps on the ring apron and outside".
exactly, that's basic professional wrestling. You don't take away from bigger matches by doing the same or bigger spots early in the card. Fundamental booking. It's also why Lana was crying about Roman nixing spots in a match. There's a method to booking, spots, finishes, but "modern wrestling" doesn't care. SMH
It's the job of the booker to organize and structure those things but TK doesn't know what he's doing and is learning on the fly.
Got to love it when people on twitter disingenuously post things out of context. What cities are used in the AEW and the WWE picture examples? Had the show even started in the AEW example? Neither promotion is selling out EVERY city they go to. This is so silly.
So wait, the same thing ya'll say about stars that aren't in WWE you gloss over the fact that, that same fan base doesn't know who Brian Pillman is!
This is an area that WWE has over other promotions is they can help talent work on mic skills. The "indy's" will focus on bumps and flippy shyt, but if you come in and don't have mic skills you never get the chance to develop or improve. You're just stagnant.
It's like they're comparing a AEW in Dumbfcuk, PA versus a WWE Madison Square after Wrestlemania
Smaller arena should be sold out versus a larger venue, no?
BTW, That was RAW this passed Monday in Buffalo, NY.
I found a WWE House Show that took place October 2, 2022 in the same arena Dynamite aired from last night in Saskatoon where attendance was somewhere around 3500. But you won't believe me anyways.
