People who buy front row seats..then stand up blocking the view for everyone behind them This weeks AEW dynamite had a walking quality street wrapper stood up for virtually all the page-danielson match and she wasnt even on the hard cam side. Her "friend" didnt look much better either. Bet they’re more bearable to be near than that guy with the Yellow Square. Speaking of annoying fans, Everton Guy seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth. That or he he just goes to NXT 2.0 now which I don’t watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good if they get excited and stand up for big highspots, kick-outs or moments, but most of the time the fuckers just...stand there.

The King Of Swing Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The lack of wrestlers having their own unique way of selling. Selling atomic drops back in the day for example, memories of Rick Rude and Honky Tonk Man selling it always make me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Adam Cole's knee bar on Jake Atlas this week on Rampage....seriously how ridiculous did it look? Clearly Cole wrapped his legs around Atlas and didn't even twist or move his leg (will give benefit of the doubt if he had a legit injury). At least make it look like you're doing something to your opponent..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't aware of that, point still stands in general. Why make a move look like it hurts when if you watch closely your opponent has actually done nothing to cause any discomfort?

Because they had barely seconds to improv a finish and they went straight to a made up finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bbabba Posted January 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2022 When a big move, often a finisher, is delivered in a contrived way to make sure its near the ropes, inevitably followed up by a pin attempt where the near leg is hooked instead of the far leg, so that the wrestler getting pinned can break the count on two by putting their leg on the rope. You can see from a mile out that these situations will never lead to a three count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or worse yet, they get hit by the move, and the "knocked out" wrestler someone still awkwardly wiggles on the mat to get in position for the rope break.

Paid Members Nick James Posted January 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2022 Probably not a petty annoyance, but whenever AEW do something shady, such as hire Jay Lethal or put him on TV for example, one of the first lines of defence I see is 'Well, WWE has Riddle on TV' or 'Well, WWE did X way back when'. Just because the shadyest company in the world did something first, doesn't make it ok or acceptable. This defence drives me insane. Wrestling is scummy as it is, to validate a scummy act by saying the scummiest company of them all did it first, is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling is scummy as it is, to validate a scummy act by saying the scummiest company of them all did it first, is laughable. I agree with what your saying, but you got to remember that fans will always pick & choose their outrage based on whether or not it involves someone that they like. Just look at the mutants who call for Chris Benoit to go into the Hall of Fame every year because murdering a child “doesn’t take away from his career”, or how Martha Hart should’ve “just got over it” years ago so that they can have an Owen t-shirt. Thats not exclusive to whether or not someone has done questionable or shady shit either, it could be something as mundane as accidentally hurting someone in a match. Hypothetically, Finn Balor could stiff someone with a kick in the face and you can guarantee they’ll be people saying it was the other person’s fault because Balor “works a physical style” or “sometimes accidents happen”. Now if Sheamus were to catch someone flush with a Brogue Kick, all of a sudden it’s his fault because “he’s a dangerous worker”. Thats not to sound like I’m having a go at either of them, I like both guys, but they could do the exact same thing and one would get a free pass because he’s the more popular Edited January 16, 2022 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
