When WWE DOES put on a 30+ minute match though, it's gangbusters!

1. It looks more painful, which is a legitimate reason for people to enjoy it. If it looks real then we're more likely to believe in it. 2. Because much of the punishment looks so devastating and real, it takes a lot of people out of the match when someone takes an unrealistic amount of punishment and gets up unfazed. |

I dot think they get up unfazed its more of a rush of adrenaline "fighting spirit" thing. But hey I love allllllll pro Wrestling. I like British wrestling from wide world of sport. I like the chaining.
Can we change this to the Indie wrestling thread? I wanna talk about pwg and dgusa! |

To add onto that, HBK. My favorite wrestler of all time. If you watch his longer matches, the man can barely stand at the end. Many times, you see him grabbing onto his opponent just trying to get to his feet and he's still unsteady and wobbly. He doesn't do this after a devastating move necessarily to sell that. Most of the time, he's just showing wear from the match. It's brilliant. That's why it bugs me to see someone act the polar opposite. A lot of indy matches I see, it seems like guys have a short term memory and only sell the previous few minutes of the match.

This is good to know. Next time you bitch about Superman Cena, I will casually remind you that he is purely showing his fighting spirit.

Watched Gateway to Honor and Survival of the Fittest 2011 this weekend. Gateway to Honor may have been the worst ROH show ever honestly. Survival of the Fittest wasn't that great of a show, but the tag match with WGTT vs. Lethal/Richards wasn't bad, and the main event was phenomenal. O'Reilly didn't do a bad job of selling the offense of Elgin, like #1 WWF fan was talking about, he acted like HBK would near the end of his long matches, showing the wear and tear of everything he'd been through, especially after the table spot.

Steen vs. Cornette is honestly a really good fued. Cornette can make you hate Jesus if he really wants to. His promos are legendary.

kind of. They appear to alternate between "typical indy bollocks" and the death match stuff. This show in particular was all the "indy moves" except for one match, which was closer to "hardcore" than anything involving glass and the like. Was the "Best of the Best" tournament, which in the past has had guys like AJ, Aries, Shelley, Hero, Dutt, Daniels, Evan Bourne etc. Best they could come up with this year was Sami Callihan and 3 embarrassing guys local to me (my morbidly curious reasoning for checking it out) it was considerably worse than I thought it would be.

What is a "Fight Without Honour"?
That's not some rhetorical question or sensai style proverb btw. Like, what are he rules of the match? Is it basically No Dq, no Count Out? |

not seen any ROH for a while, seeing some dated 28th April rn, at least Steen can still cut a promo and is entertaining with a mic in spite of looking like shit, Davey is still drowning in a sea of bland. Also might be the most unlikable top company babyface in pro wrestling history

In some of the artistic combatant's defense, if they even try to develop some sort of character, the fat virgins who watch this shit just crap all over them.

there's one part where Davey comes out and the camera pans along the front row and onto the entrance way and every one of them banging away on their little barriers was "stereotypical looking"

Is it a stereotype when it's factual? Seems like my "trolling" is more truth than anything.
