I deliberately sought out the Ospreay/Shibata match to see if the lack of New Japan magic was a continuing theme. Can someone explain to me what they find appealing about this style of wrestling.
To me it isn’t “hard” and doesn’t make the guys look “tough.” No one wants to be punched in the face. It gives away that it’s fake as shit when they welcome love taps with their forearms. There’s also way too much obvious cooperation. It’s like two guys playing wrestler.
I had to turn it off after they do-si-do’d into some kicks they weren’t selling.
How many times does this rubbish have to run off viewers before AEW realizes that most wrestling fans want a little more credibility in their action?
