I can't get over how slow that 3 minutes felt. Like rather than have a three-minute sprint they tried to condense a longer match format down into that time. No sense of urgency and pace from either of them.

It's amazing the difference in growth between the two guys from one of the most infamous spotfests in history, Ricochet is light-years behind Will in seemingly every way.

After watching Stardom High Speed title matches that does feel very slow for a gimmick built purely around speed. Some of the sequences and acrobatic moves were quick obviously, but as @Jesse said I didn’t felt the urgency from them. In some of those Stardom high speed matches it feels like the whole thing is wrestled as if it’s the last thirty  seconds of a match and anyone could win at any time, to the point that having a signature “inescapable” flash pinning combination becomes part of the arms race between rivals. I didn’t get that from these two at all.

One from the very early days of ECW - Super Destroyer v Jimmy Snuka at an outdoor club venue with a pool.
They brawl all over the venue and Jimmy ends up taking a fall from  the balcony and into the pool.

The best indie match of all time was covered by this lad, he doesn't even usually do videos on wrestling.

My mate just sent me this. AI doing wrestler themes from prompts. The AJ Styles and Hulk Hogan ones have sent me to another dimension. Bad laughing at them.

Just gave that a go and fucking hell the Hogan song just had me gut laughing. That's terrifying and very funny.

Oh I'm so glad at home so no one is wondering what the hell I'm crylaughing at.

The reach of AI is frightening but they are all amazing. The Hogan one made me cry laughing. All hail our robot overlords.

Absolutely astounding!  I feel the Hogan one is vindication for Astro after Hogan blocked him again.
