DTTS' Official Ask A Poster: DLVH84
Hi there. We either never or rarely interact. Let's alleviate this tragedy with an open interview.
1. Who is the greatest mind in professional wrestling today (ie. currently participating in the wrestling world) 2. Who is your all-time favorite wrestler? 3. What makes a good wrestling match for you? 4. What was the last live wrestling event you attended? 5. How many wrestlers do you know? It's time to make TPWW MEAT again! Quote:

DLVH84 is currently masturbating to this thread and the upcoming wrestling hipster-ness he is about to unleash on it.

1. I would say Verne Gagne, as he was the first man to have his territory break away from the NWA monopoly.
2. Flyin' Brian Pillman. Because he was way ahead of his time with the high-flying and the Loose Cannon persona. 3. It's complex to explain it, due to the various styles I've seen, but I would say a straight up match. 4. The last live event I ever went to was Bound For Glory in Atlanta in 2006. 5. I've met The Naturals, Ron Garvin, Alex Wright, and Chris Benoit. |

I'm sure, the Midwest (AWA) was the first territory to break away from the NWA back in the 1950s.

I'd say Paul Heyman. He's very smart and knows what works in an angle, feud, etc, as long as it's not running the company financially. The same thing goes for Michael Hayes as far as booking goes.

My apologies, although it's a shame as I was hoping we could discuss Akira's debut in 1984 against Keiji Mutoh at a New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) event in Saitama, Japan.

I've watched The Rise and Fall of ECW a lot lately so I'm partial to any mention of the greatness of Paul Heyman.

While awesome in it's original incarnation, is the old AJPW King's Road style the worst thing to happen to wrestling?

Give me a more full explanation of kings road and why you think it was bad for the industry please.
I think I have an understanding of kings road but I'd like to hear what you'd say it is. |

kings road works a lot like hardcore to be fair. you always end up trying to raise the bar until the only way to raising said bar is by doing 400 head drops a match.

One-two head-drops should finish a match. Four max if it's Undertaker or HHH.

Depends on the length of the match but I'd say 5 or six is a good number. To be fair though, that would also limit the number of dead on head strikes. Like shouldn't be able to take more than 8 or so before yr knocked out. If they are precise.

Head-drops is not the same as head-strikes. And no, that's fucking ridiculous. One botched tombstone piledriver pretty much kills a guy, it's stupid to have a guy survive that many. How about focus on counters and actual mat-wrestling (or even top rope stuff) instead of risking paralysis by allowing some exhausted midget attempt to pretend drop you on your head and neck continuously while you no-sell it until it's no longer an option.
High risk used to mean something. Impact moves used to matter. Now brain-busters are about as common as restholds...fuck, THEY ARE RESTHOLDS. |

Ive landed on my head a number of times and not been injured. Yeah any of them could have been fatal but not at that exact angle obviously.
However I agree that it is an uneccesary risk. I think mat work and wrestling is much more important. |

You Cn land on yr head from a backdrop, flapjack, northern lights, or belly to back release suplex. I mean they are letting seth rollins do the curb stomp in wwe, and that move fucking sucks. Oh and Vladimir kozlovs chokeslam with he leg is for some reason the stiffest bump.
