Alienoid had better never complain about Cena's psychology after making that statement.

So far RoH reminds me of highschool football. That isn't ment as an insult. But the production value is that of a really good high a/v class, the wrestling is still mostly offence based just like high school foot ball is all about offence. They are really focusing on scoring but they don't grasp the finer points of defence, running down the clock or things like that. Like wise, RoH seems to be doing spots for the sake of it looks cool for the moment. And by spots, I mean more than high spots, but even the chain wrestling. Their are just a series of non sequitur spots that end in a pinfall or submission.
Now it is possible that the matches get better as so far I've only seen the 3 mention above. And I still plan on watching them all to give it a fair shake. But I believe I've seen enough wrestling to figure out where this is going. |

Some of what I've seen of RoH reminds me of some people who played No Mercy and similar games. You know, the kind of guys who would try and hit nine finishers in a row?
It's not every match, but in many cases, it goes beyond simple spot-festing. Enough to make me roll my eyes, and not because I don't want to give it a fair shake. |

You could hit like 3 finishers tops before your power bar ends. That's just crazy. Unless you were Jericho, cos he had that sweet taunt that pushed his power meter up loads, so you could hit 3 moves, dot he taunt, get back into the special then do it over. So technically possible, but only if Jericho is in ROH.....um what we talking about again? |

Yeah, but thanks to RoH psychology, Jericho will hit 15 triple powerbombs in five minutes, lock in the walls of Jericho, and the guy will be totally unfazed.

Ok, back to watching it for a bit. Nigel seems to be working the arm. Lets see if this has any bearing for the rest of the match.

So far I like what I see from Nigel. He seems to know what he is doing and gets it.

2 comments about Cornio:
1) He needs to hit the gym and lose some wieght/tighten up. 2) Why does his ass say world? |

I think of it like a fighting game: You have your simple striking moves, which is the WWE style, but then you have your combos and throws which take out a lot more health quicker. But, oh no! They can only be used at the end. That's one style of match. Some guys work better with the feeling out, build to the end style of wrestling. Others actually can tell a better story where they try and put their opponent down hard and fast, and it doesn't always work because it's too early in the match, and they need to try again. |

Psychology is when there is a thought and strategy behind the moves being used. Believe it or not, flips and power moves have a place in ring psychology. If you are working over the leg, you occasionally need a big move to enhance the drama. The way you fools act, a figure four must end the match because it's a big move. A perfect example of leg psychology (not the best, but one that springs to mind, for whatever reason), is Mickie James challenging Trish Stratus for the WWE Women's Title at WrestleMania 22, I think it was. They were fighting on the top rope, and Mickie grabbed Trish's leg, and hung it up over the top rope, and the spot looked sick. It didn't need to end the fucking match. The WWE's style is tie-up, shoulder block, clothesline, chinlock, chinlock, chinlock, commercial break, chinlock, chinlock. That's not the only way to work a wrestling match. A guy can use a sit-down powerbomb to work the back on an opponent. It's like writing a book. A Randy Orton match would feature sentences like "The cat sat on the mat. It was happy." A book by someone who can do the high impact style well, though, would feature sentences with a little more creativity and articulation than that. I never once said that every match should consist of big moves, I'm just saying that it's not necessarily a fault if it does. Wrestling is fake, anyway. I'd rather see guys doing things that I can't. |

I dissagree with what you say Mr. Noid. Mostly because it is half a thought.

No, scratch that. I started thinking that a while ago. It's just recently, he's stepped it up. I know that verbosity and intelligence have no real bearing on one another, but I can't believe anyone could spout off these term papers and not be taking the piss. |
