People love dives, they love high impact, etc, but actual WRESTLING matches need the basics as well. You need low impact moves, you need holds, you essentially need to "build up" to the spots that make the match memorable.

Because honestly, what's more impressive, AJ styles busting out his 15th big dive in a match, or someone like Samoa Joe, while selling the match itself, busts out a suicide dive? Much like high spots help the match, the match helps high spots. It's all about the build up.

While I agree with your post, Carlito and punk have been just a chain of moves every match in the WWE.

Punk....Taranula thing, Springboard clothesline, Knee Lift, bulldog out of the corner, Combo, Sambo, Vice. Carlito is the same with his shitty backflips and blackout into the backcracker. At least AJ doesnt follow an equation, although he just bust random crap out.
