Brehs...I think I'm over this wrestling thing :(

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So after Wrestle Kingdom, I felt kinda meh about the whole event compared to most folks that have watched the show (with the exception of dudes mad about Okadawinzlolz). Then it dawned on me, I been feeling blah about wrestling in general. We are in a perfect era of wrestling being exposed to the masses at alarming rates, plus different styles and promotions. Yet, I find myself treating most of the shows that I watched like background noise until there is a match that captures my eye. Hell, last year the only event that I was actually hyped for was DDT Peter Pan which blew my mind, but beyond that I just can't get into it like the good ole days.


What's wrong with me brehs

Sometimes you jsut gotta decompress.

I go on diets from things I enjoy all the time. I love hip-hop music but I love when I can take a couple weeks away from it and listen to R&B, jazz, or discover a new genre entirely.

I love wrestling but I'll take a couple months off here and there, usually between Summerslam to the Rumble. Keeps me fresh for Mania season.

Cut back and pick which few feds to follow. I mean I basically just watch NXT and WWE PPvs, and Lucha Underground. I'll watch Raw/SD on hulu if I'm bored one day, but yeah. Just cut back to the essentials. I honestly don't know how some people watch all that indie shyt.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Exactly. Even though streaming services makes it possible to watch almost all of the most popular and obscure wrestling promotions out nowadays. However, it's a gift and a curse due to the fact that the booking is pretty much the same. I swear almost every promotion has questionable booking that turns me the hell off. I tried watching LU but I really couldn't do it.

Maybe I need to take a break but catch up on the news ala TSC and sighs............reddit. I love wrestling, but damn the bytch is turning me off. It's not her, its me

What's wrong with LU? It's definitely the easiest promotion to digest. Especially with the seasons format.

It's weird like I respect what they are trying to do, but it still not clicking with me. I'll try again with watching a episode but I know I will have the same results.

Everyone has unique characters and they do an excellent job of writing and developing those characters. Even usually bland guys like John Morrison are intriguing. On top of that the wrestling is top notch and all of the feuds are well booked. I really think the show is worth investing time in.

There is just nothing interesting going on in wrestling now, I don't blame you. I can't even watch PPVs anymore. The lack of story and corny presentation is part of it, but I couldn't even get into Okada vs Naito. I rarely feel like something interesting or exciting is going to happen if I try to watch a wrestling show. It's a complete chore.

 

[Heelish]

I feel you. This year I watched some of WM, ER, TLC, Kurt’s RAW return, one NXT PPV, and a live AWE show. It’s just not the same. Daniel Bryan was the last shine of sun I could feel.

Fair enough. I remember reading that LU technically took Chikara's torch once they fell off. I see the comparison, but it just needs a touch of fukkery beyond the serious stuff that I seen on gifs and previews. I'll give it another go and if it's popping, I'll hit up the LU thread.

Yeah. It's like this whole "MMA" I'm real follow my social media bullshyt is killing my interest to be honest. It's a fake sport trying to be legit. That's why I be hoping Braun bring back the feeling because I miss it just being about whose going to be the top bad ass and "I'm going to kill the wrestler Gene" vs this twitter beef=storyline shyt

Bryne made me and my wife come together to watch wrestling along with the Shield. It's a shame the WWE don't realize what really matters anymore and that's having a money maker that the crowd can relate to. Sadly, once Bryne tapped out...so did my damns. Hell, Shibata was a close contender too and breh put himself on the shelf to bring back the feeling
