Incorrect.

It really depends what you're watching. Yes, a decent amount of indy guys will do dives and what not, but it's not a huge part of the match. Of course, there are the occasional flippy idiots (Jack Evans, etc), but they're getting fewer and farther between in the higher up indys (ROH, PWG, heck, even Evolve).

The other, bigger problem, are the insane reversal/ bump spots. I'm talking about where guys would each give huge moves to each other one after theo ther, and pretty much no sell everything for a minute, before a final big move where both collapse on the ground. ROH was a huge offender for this awhile back, but it's gotten better too.

What it ultimately comes down to is PSYCHOLOGY. A good chunk of indy wrestlers have it, a good chunk don't. A larger chunk are on par and passable.
