TSC, Question From An Dude That Started Watching After An 22 Year Hiatus

[King Sun]

So I had a conversation about wrestlers and bodies and I disagreed about wrestlers have to be a certain size or look a certain way and sensibilities changed thats why we don't have roided up guys walking around and the dudes built like that are already in the league or bodies too battered to wrestle. To me I never really cared about a look of a guy as long as the wrestling was good because you got dudes like Warlow and Omos with 3 moves in their bag and it doesn't look right. I guess I grew out of being scared of wrestlers since papa shango and the undertaker days .Not trying to make a shyt show thread but it feels like to me that shyt didn't really matter then when you had dusty, duggan, buckwackers,123 kid, and etc being the average bodies.

This thread totally won't turn into a shytshow.



Jokes aside, you're already light years ahead of most people who watch these days. If the shyt entertains you, that's all that really matters. If it doesn't, then don't simple that. The rest of the talk around wrestling is borderline weirdo shyt.

Numbers are going down across the board and the biggest draws still look like top athletes in any sport. All you midget marks are wrong by every metric.

Man I thought I was the only nikka that took like 20 years off from watching. I’m 33 and some of this new shyt makes me want to stop watching but that’s how I bond with my daughters

Whats the question?

I don't advocate or care about what size they are. Bobby Lashley is an example of this no matter how heel he is dude doesn't look intimidating to me even though hes built like that. I guess im asking why do some of you keep a fetish on dudes bodies

 

[Norrin Radd]

It’s all about entertainment. Size only matters to smarks on message boards. It’s why acts like New Day will always be more over than guys like Drew or Bobby.

I guess what im getting at dudes have cokebottle lens when it comes to the 80s and 90s. shyt even the best wrestlers of that era technically wasn't built like that.

Wrestlers should still have the look per se, because it makes it easier to make finishes because it's believable. Not to mention it helps reduce the injuries to a degree, since you got these wrestlers fukking up their necks by doing stupid shyt. This is wrestling, where if your working WWE's schedule, thats 300 days of this flippy shyt.

To a point, you really can't say a Figure Four or a Boston Crab would look legit. That being said someone needs to use the Torture Rack on television once more.

The wrestler size thing is a myth and always has been. If you put effort and promotion and a good story to anyone it will work. Tyson Fury isnt the most famous boxer, Floyd is. Francis Ngannou isnt the most famous or money making MMA fighter its Conor McGregor who constantly loses now. In fact the smaller divisions in general are a lot more fun to watch.

Size helps but you cant apply the Hogan natrative to everyone. Theres been a lot more muscle bound flops than superstars and thats because it became oversaturated over time.

I took like 10 years off after WCW and ECW died out. And even then the only reason I came back sporadically to watch some ROH DVDs was because my manager turned me on to that. If not for that manager, I'd probably be on a 20+ year streak of not watching too.

I only started again cuz I was flipping thru the channels and was bored and said damn this shyt is good. Once my daughters saw me watching they started watching also. So seeing them enjoy it made me feel like a kid again too. But Moxcula bleeding off a submission hold is
