TONY KHAN STINKS! (HBO MAX DROPPING AEW IN 2026; DYNAMITE TANKS INTO IT'S LOWEST RATING EVER; DYNAMITE NO MILLION WATCH: 953 DAYS/136 WEEKS)

I'd settle for Jarrett punches at this point, Marsupial. Can do a silver medal worthy floor tumbling routine to throw a crossbody, but ask them to cut a promo with emotion or I dunno... make someone give a shyt BEFORE the moves start getting S-tier degree-of-difficulty ratings.

but nope.
Just flips; no fists.
They are the opposite of The Revival.

...so they're dead. Just like my interest in wrestling lately.

Yeah I'm trying to get back into the funk since I'm addicted to the shyt and want the industry to be better.

You know what's sad....the only storyline that caught my intest, was in a dead ass promotion known as CZW and that Nazi Aryan brotherhood looking cac called SHIAK basically going off the deep end and heads trying to figure out wtf is happening.

Everything else is just either been done or trying to be like NJPW.

At this point, I'm just watching the matches . It helps that I'm puro and it sucks that the only promotion that actually gives a damn about compelling storylines, I can't speak or understand a lick of Japanese.

I hate J-E-F-F and Lawler but the old Tennessee cacs throw timeless punches. Part of the reason they both could work forever.

Know what would be cool though?
If literally any male wrestler under 35 could throw a fukking worked punch. I would pop bigger than all the inverted Spiral Taps in the world.

These guys will do gold medal floor routines then cut a promo sounding like Ferguson from Clarissa Explains It All. Sad.

The business needs another 2002 Tedd Petty Invitational/RoH reset. Where the next class of great workers buck the trends of mainstream rasslin and go a different path. That's the only reason the work got so much better in the industry the past 20 years(even if styles have hemogonized globally). But we've lost some common sense on the way to chasing the "pop".

It’s crazy looking back at how IWA-MS just GOT IT with the bolded. I mean tournaments in general during that early to mid 2000s indies scene were fire and like you mentioned, different styles for everyone. Even CZW had BotB for the pure graps crowd and ToD for the sickos

Idr the last tourney I truly enjoyed, they’ve been boring/predictable for a minute now. When they had Cole/Baker win the 1st Owen Cup

100% hear you on this. I came across a WCW video of Scott Hall on IG last week, I forget how crisp his punches were like legit amazed me.

The BotB

Man. Back when wrestlers were fighting for their lives and a hot dog, versus a NXT contract and two chili dogs.

Used to love early CZW BOtB. That tournament introduced me to some of my fav workers. Pretty underrated in it's impact.

Yeah these two be scrappin. Literally the best beatdowns on TV right now. Black women

 

[VegetasHairline]

flippy shyt has a higher rate of diminishing returns than literally anything else in wrestling.

I saw O'Shea do the double-rotation moonsault back when homie could land it without being on top of a cage. I have seen Sasuke Specials that would have made MASA Michinoku hit the Jackie Chan meme. I have seen rotations added to moves that required absolutely no corkscrews. Topes have be Con Hilo'd to death.

I don't care anymore.

This is such a lost art in wrestling now.

 

[VegetasHairline]

All I know is there's not many wrestlers in the entire industry that are throwing their punches better than Angelo Dawkins.

Never seen Dawkins lay hands .

Never seen Dawkins lay hands .

Watch a Street Profits match and just watch him throw punches.
