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.

I salute you

I agree with you, too much over hype for these unknown wrestlers. They are unknown for a damn reason. :)

What's a Puro fan?

A fan of Japanese wrestling.

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.

Hmm, well I suppose so.

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.

2.7 too many in Hanso's eyes.

Like anyone who posts on the wrestling board could fit in skinny jeans.

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.

And their fans are utter douches, too.

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.

And kick out of it.

All of you shut the fuck up. Michaels and Undertaker kicked out of 17 fucking finishers and all of you couldn't get your penis out of your pants quick enough.

ITS ALL THE SAME

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.

XD Good show, sir!

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.

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.

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

Not a huge fan of the pace out there, but their crowds are incredible. Love how they explode after any. It move.

Commentary too. Thejdjgjeismqlamtheir BRAIN BUSTAHHHHHH rieiditjtntj BODY SlAM mfjfirufhfjfj.

I sure as hell can...

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.

Is it me or does one of the big guy's friends seriously look like Foley in that video?

Y'know that won't happen, right?

All I know is that I don't want to see any blow up dolls or little girls winning matches. I don't care if anybody else wants to see that, though.

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"

Does Tyler Black still hit 10 superkicks a match in FCW?

ROH= wrestlings hipsters. 95% of wrestling fans have never heard of it.

hsdfkjhsdfjhsdfkj BODYSLAMUUUUUUUUU gjishfkljshfklsd *crowd pop*

That happened at Wrestlemania. Grizzly Redwood did that last week in a match aainst Pelle Primeau I believe.

bullshit gertner.

I'd say maybe 35 percent have never heard of it.

it's a highly visible company it's not some fucking shitty indy group running the local high schools.

We don't represent the majority Seth. It's one step above bein a fucking shitty indy group running the local high schools.

You mean to tell me the 10 year old kids in attendance has heard and knows wrestlers in ROH? Come on now!

to me All Japan was fucking awesome in the 80's til the mid 90's

yeah the commentary is in japanese but the who fuck cares.

they put on some amazing matches over the years including alot with american guys such as Bruiser Brody, Dr Death, Terry Funk and Ric Flair

That's the best part.

I'd love to hear Michael Cole commentate in Japanese, but the only English he ever says is NEW CHAMPION NEW CHAMPION to every near fall.

SAVE US_Hanso

FUCKA YOU DOPHRIN, LARIATO

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.

Please tell me Grizzley Redwood is not a real name of a wrestler in ROH.

No, it is.... He's basically a tiny lumberjack. I can't even think of an argument to make to try to act like it has some redeeming quality either....


Wait, he's fun to watch larger wrestlers kill.

Let me guess.

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

He "chops" down the competition.

Don't hate on the Sterness Dust. Jun Akiyama is the shit...

I think I just proved the point of this thread, didn't I?

Seriously though, I don't even know if Grizzly has a finisher. I don't think we wins, ever.

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.

65 percent of wrestling fans are 13 or younger.

Yes, I know that won't happen.

Ok. Just checking.

I think myself, WWKD and DLVH are the only ones on this site with extensive knowledge of puro.

WWKD and I rarely even talk about it.

Not only I have knowledge of puro, I also am fond of Canadian and European wrestling (hell my very first wrestling show I saw was in Germany).

We all know that Euro wrestling sucks the most dick...

LEAVE PURO ALONE! ATTACK THE BRITS!

Puro fans = hipsters is a valid statement. still :heart: puro tho

Everytime i watch something from germany i cant help but feel like im going to get herpes...seriously. like there are no clean venues in that country.
