What does TSC think of Intergender wrestling?

[LastManStanding]

it took Rey Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler (who is a 3 time All-American wrestler and all time wins leader at Kent State), and a 6'5 / 250lb Randy Orton to take out 5'10 and morbidly obese Nia Jax


it's fukking stupid

 

[JerseyBoy23]

It works in LU because they're all basically superheroes in the LU universe and it works in the indies because most people attending indies don't care about kayfabe.

I look at it like this, if you're ok with Black Widow kicking grown men's asses or any of these female-led action films then I don't see the difference.

#SnackSet wouldn't have to worry tho :impressedwow:

 

[PYRRHUS 88]

99% of the time, it's awkward and not believable

The exception obviously is when Io is involved

America is too soft. Japan.

Call me when they book Strowman vs Sasha

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Doesn't work for me, brother.

Looks bad for the guy involved no matter what. It's too much a suspension of disbelief for me unless it's the smallest of guys taking on the biggest of women. I can buy Jordynne Grace destroying Marko Stunt, but someone like Brian Cage shouldn't be having a competitive match against her.

Seems to be pretty popular on the indies at the moment though. Probably only a matter of time before Impact, AEW or WWE introduces an intergender division.

 

[Carl Tethers]

I don't know why we even need men wrestling anymore

 

[Hey_zeus]

It's unnecessary and embarrassing usually.

 

[Superkick Party]

I'm for it but it only works if both parties involved want to put in the work to make it look good.

It’s pointless bullshyt. Lucha Underground basically died from it. When Chyna was wrestling and winning matches, it was terrible and made the show worse

 

[Homer Simpson]

Makes no sense in kayfabe or entertainment sense but these dumbass smarKKKs are mentally deranged

 

[Ribbs]

Lucha Underground is the only major promotion that does it effectively. All of the other promotions make the matches too comical.

Honestly. They just do it correctly and I don't trust WWE experimenting with it at all. But it all comes down to whose in the ring ie. the Penta/Black Lotus match.

I think it's dumb since almost 100% of the time it turns into either pure comedy or equal treatment until the dude punches a woman in the face or something and it's always sold as WTF man.

It can be done well with the right talents being the right size doing the right specific story. Just doing intergender matches for the lulz of dikk/tit jokes or getting heel heat for hitting a woman is pointless and dumb.

 

[PortCityProphet]

It's absolutely stupid.
So a guy is sposed to go toe to toe with a woman, even sometimes lose, then go back to fighting dudes and not get washed?
And the woman is sposed to go back to fighting women half her size and not ragdoll them to victory?
Just doesn't make sense and kills any believability of either one not leaving either weaker or CenaStrong.
