Paid Members air_raid Posted July 3, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 3, 2018 Still reeling from only paying £20 plus fees for two matches the calibre of Okada v ZSJ and Ishii v MiSu. While its not THE best vfm show I ever attended (that would be an All Japan show I went to for free) I doubt £20 will ever buy me better entertainment. Quote

Yea, Rev Pro’s production quality is quite poor. Kevin Kelly mic level seems perfect also whilst Andy Simmons seems to scream into the mic from millimetres away. Also finger prints on the camera lens... Edited July 6, 2018 by TildeGuy~! Quote
Paid Members gadge Posted July 6, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 6, 2018 The state of the camera lenses is embarrassing, amateur stuff. Just awful. Quote
TildeGuy~! Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I’ve been to quite a few Rev Pro shows over the last couple of years and have never really come away disappointed, but then watching them back on demand just shows how poor their production is, it just screams BRITWRES Quote
Michael_3165 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 For one of the better companies in the UK I would expect better. Watching it back it I shocking how poor the production really is. Blurred cameras, crappy announcing (sorry Simmons!) and dodgy camera angles. They don't mic up the ring very well it seems so everything is a bit tinny. Quote

bigfoote Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 For those who haven't seen it, behind tags cos, frankly, some people don't wanna see it Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 9, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I’ve never been comfortable with anyone taking that daft bump that Takahashi broke his neck on. It always looked super dangerous. Hoping he’s okay, but fuck that move. This should be a lesson to everyone to bin it off entirely. Edited July 9, 2018 by Supremo Quote

WWE having its talent take that stupid ring apron powerbomb spot with alarming frequency is worrying and talent like Paige having to retire from a broken neck at just 25 and Ospreay being in constant pain at the same age is just unnecessary. Yes, accidents happen and wrestling will take its toll on your body anyway but I think unless wrestlers, and fans, start accepting working safer and smarter matches then stuff like this will, sadly, continue to happen. Thank God the number of wrestlers dying young at an alarming frequency has dropped rapidly these past few years but I dont want that replaced with wrestlers who struggle to function when they're in their 30's/40's because of all the crazy risks and bumps they took instead.

It definitely can happen, look at unprotected chairshots to the head. I think seeing one now is so rare that it is not only shocking when you do, but it makes for far fewer avoidable brain injuries. The same will hopefully happen with these head drop moves that are so dangerous and yet could easily be replaced by something as spectacular looking with minimal compromise on flash, but maximum safety to in-ring competitors.
