The idea is for it to look like it hurts, not go away with a beet red chest and welts all over the body.
Not a bad take. Like anything, it’s how it’s done. WALTER/Dragunov falls more into a modern European style for me. I wouldn’t want to see a whole card of it, but for a main event it was fucking awesome. Danielson/Suzuki was horrendous.

There’s way too much romanticised about puroresu, and people forget the business is basically on its ass there too. A lot of westerners come at it from an otaku point of view and just assume that Japanese wrestling = good.

Remember when Luke Gallows and Albert got really good in Japan because they were in Japan and Japan is awesome? Yeah.
