Sure, if you watch an AJ Styles match or a Christopher Daniels match or a Sabu match you're going to see spot after spot after spot. But that's their style, and some people, myself included, have taken it as a breath of fresh air from the WWE's boring, pedantic style of scripted matches.

Who are your top wrestlers in TNA (Styles and Daniels?)? Compare their matches to a HBK or Angle match. They don't overly use any sort of spot - it is good wrestling.

How is watching Sabu hit his usual spots every match any different from a fucking Undertaker match? Taker dominates to start - opponent cheats to get the heads up - opponent has the advantage - Taker comes back with a flying clothesline - Taker does his tight rope walk thing - Taker hits the Chokeslam or Tombstone and wins.

Yeah, usually Undertaker dominates at the start. Although it may seem like it, versus any decent opponents the rest is never in that order, and sometimes it all doesn't happen. To be honest, Sabu's usual spots don't bore me, it is just the style of wrestling TNA is as a whole.

Or a WWE tag team match: Evenly matched to start - faces get some offense in - heels divide the ring and work over one of the faces - face gets the hot tag - hot tag leads to a face victory, or the heels win by cheating. Every time like fucking clockwork.

WWE is beginning to pick up a little in its tag division so this isn't always the case, but yeah, that is usually the case.

#1 wrestling promotion in the US today has a lot of spotfests too

For example?

You're comparing spots to Undertaker, who nobody gives a shit about?

Anyway, basically... To conclude:

It's not that good wrestling can't have spots, it's that you can't use spots instead of good wrestling. TNA tends to be spotfests, which are not conducive to a good match. CZC tends to rely on spots and "hardcore" shit to get it done.
