Richie Freebird Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Not going to bother with the "mainstream doesn't deserve to see this type of thing" comment, since I'm hoping it was made in jest...

The Cum Doctor Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I really do love a good spotfest, in much the same way I love good matches of any sort. When I was watching the old ROH shows from 2002/2003, they were filled with scramble matches. Now, most of these ARE fucking dreadful, but now and again they would have these incredible spotfests where everything just clicks together, and when that happened, the results were spectacular. The best example is probably the big one from ROH Scramble Madness. Â Any kind of match that manages to make The SAT look good is fine by me.

I thought their bout (or atleast one of their bouts) was psychologically spot on, and at the risk of sounding like an un educated clown and getting torn a new one, I think they captured the Noah / All Japan style brilliantly.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 Does this not make the anti smarks even say "wow" just for a sec?  It makes me say wow, but not as much luger no selling flairs chops.  That sums it up for me, I'm impressed by the athleticism, but the story and drama is whet gets me out of my seat. Perhaps that ladder spot has more context if I watched the whole match, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â YOU UNEDUCATED CLOWN!!! How dare you?! Â I'd have to watch it for myself. I've never seen the Briscoes ever really capture Ark/King's Road particularly well, although I'll say this for them: they're a lot better when they work heel, because they tone everything down and it works.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 I fucking hate the Briscoes. I've not watched a match of theirs from start to end without drifting off in the middle and doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 The Briscoes have an amazing unique look/gimmick, their offense looks devastating and they come across as complete psycho badasses.

Â I can't say I agree with you on that it captures the Puro mood perfectly ( don't know the names so won't pretend to ). I think the only one of them four that really "gets it" is Eddie Edwards. Â The Briscoes are brilliant heels right now, for the record. It fits their mood and moveset perfectly. They're badasses that just want to kick your arse and are willing to go to insane lengths to hurt people. Â Have you seen them recently?

patiirc Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Tbf  I only watched Destination X because of the qualifiers to the contract match.  I enjoy some highflying like that in moderation. I admire the risks taken and the athleticism. Okay it doesnt always come off but it is still fun to watch and at least there was a story behind the 4 way in that they were trying to earn a contract so were going all out to win one.  Every match and every week could get a bit dull though. It is nice to see something different sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
