View Full Version : Puro Fans = Wrestling Hipsters

This is a fact.
MATCH OF THE YEAR? YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
I have noticed that many of the Puro fans here, not all, but most, seem to be just into it because they want to seem different, and better than everyone else.
I just imagine the likes of DLH84 rolling his eyes at posts at the TNA threads and watching Yamakazo Himachinawa vs Tzinsaki Rachumanchara IV and thinking how much better they are because they are seeing this amazing unknown match that opened some small show of no consequence.
I will not stand for this.
I am clearing this forum of all Puro Hipsters. ITS ON
*I made those names up. But about as many people saw and cared about that match as most of the random shit that these people watch and talk about.

They are known in Japan. They have their versions of Cena, Hogan, ect. and they have versions of Robbie E and Mason Ryan. Its all the same.

Also, a whole bunch of comedy matches, or 1,000,000 chops in a row matches. or 10 finishers each before the finish.

Puro matches often take place in arenas filled with the same number of people as a WWE show. NJPW has its 'wrestlemania' type event which takes place in Tokyo Dome, seating ~60,000.
Just like American wrestling there are garbage promotions, indy promotions, and the larger 'WWE' type promotions.
The point is that it does mean something over there. And please, if you don't roll your eyes at TNA, you have a problem.

Maybe you are right though, and we should just ban puro from TPWW. I would have no problem with that. There are plenty of Puro forums out there.
I guess, IMO, you might as well ban TNA and ROH discussion as well. They do not mean 1/100th in the wrestling industry as WWE. So where do you draw the line of what matters and what doesn't?

as I have said before...THE IWC: We Share, Cause We Care!
I can understand where Hanso is coming from when it involves how ridiculous people are in the wrestling community with their personal views on certain types of wrestling. Everybody has different taste. And as far as banning discussions, why go that far? If you don't like Puro, TNA, ROH, or WWE than don't swim into the discussion. I, for example, don't even view the ROH discussion thread. ROH doesn't appeal to me as it once did years ago.

Hanso, this isn't much of a campaign.
There are about 2.7 puro fans on TPWW.

Its exactly the same as ROH tbh, 10billion chops and kicks followed by some ridiculously unbelievable finisher like a triple spike tombstone off the top rope.

Pretty much. Pretty sure I can count the people who have decent puro knowledge on one hand.

Hey now, I have sexy legs.

Nah. You get the chops from NOAH, and the finisher sequences from Dragon Gate ;) Bad indy matches just combined them. NJPW has some awesome stuff though, and I don't think a lot of people here would actually have a problem with it.

They did kick out of finishers there, but it was a HUGE match.
Some places pretty much have that happening every main event of every show, plus usually in the match or two prior as well. Come on.

Not to mention they tend to "no-sell" finishers.
Michaels and Undertaker were clearly battered and beaten. It doesn't hurt that a match like that doesn't happen often, which is what helps make it epic, but it's also the fact that they made it a visceral match.
Smarks get pissed when John Cena doesn't sell something for a few seconds.

10-26-2011, 07:34 PM
Yeah. In WWE, outside of a few "finishers" when people tend to kick out of finishers, it's a big deal. When Punk kicked out of the pedigree, that actually meant something. When HBK kicked out of the tombstone, it was a huge deal.
As opposed to someone now kicking out of one of CIMA's hundred finishers, or misc. indy head drop finisher, because if they can't kick out of at least two of them, they look weak.
At least finishers mean something in the WWE.
Blakeamus
10-26-2011, 07:40 PM
Well as far as Taker/HBK match was concern...the story had a lot on the line. Which I can assume is why there was so many false finishers for that match. Come on! A finisher like a "triple spike tombstone off the top rope" with someone kicking out would be something you definately see on the indy circuit. :p

Plus, it had been hyped up. Both men had something important on the line. Taker is someone you sort o expect to survive a finisher or two, and Michaels was fighting for his career. I mean, at the end, Michaels could barely stand, and the only reason Taker had to put him away was that Michaels WILL NOT DI...Sorry, wrong wrestler.
In the end, it was kinda like this:

It's not like Stevie Richards was kicking out of ten tombstones. It was an awesome match because it was special, unique, something you won't see often. And that's why I tuned in. I knew that, with this being the "end" of HBK's career, they'd pull out all the stops.

Big difference in Psychology there.
The reason they do that is the idea that the Chokeslam/Tombstone and Chin Music are moves that they have been putting people away fro years. They are throwing all they have at each other and still cant seal the deal.
Not, "I hit a Roaring Elbow 3 Times and want to hit another big move to get myself over, then you can hit your 5 big moves"

Hasney is spot on though, I do like the announcing.
Still remember watching some random tape in like 98 of some FMW Hardcore type shit. Dunno. Had Cactus and Leatherface against some Japs.
There were giant balls above the ring for some reason. Then the Announcers were jsut screaming shit, seemingly like they were counting down. Balls Exploded...And were filled with Tacks.
Fucking crazy guy screaming in Japanese so loud it hurt, while people just rolled around writhing in pain.

His "Finisher" is a Cradle Clutch Expolder Suplex from a Fireman's Carry position.

Seth is trying very hard to be a wrestling hipster.
Though Gertner's probably exaggerating, there's no way 65% of wrestling fans are aware of what is still an indie promotion. Bitch, please.
