All that said, there is still excellent indy wrestling to be found. It's just usually surrounded by the variants of the above list. |

As far as Jimmy Jacobs, he's a hard guy not to like, he was at one of the first indy shows I went to. He's a hard worker for sure. On top of that, he actually holds a win over Eddie Guererro in a WWE ring, it was by DQ, but hey, a win is a win. |

Lol where to begin.
1) The fans are so fucking aggrivating. They spend the entire show trying to get themselves over. Every match according to them is the match of the year. 2) I know you hate this but the vast majority is no selling, spot monkies who take themselves way too seriously. Every promo is about respect and honour and intense. I once saw Davey Richards pull out a sword, cut off Rodrick Strong's head(who the the classic"vanilla indy guy) and Strong kicked out at two. I know wrestling is fake, but christ, seeing every match where each wrestler kicks out of their opponents finisher 10 times is retarded. 3) The fans. They are that fucking aggrivating and whine like emo bitches the minute somebody attacks their backyard promotion. 4) The fans. Douchebag losers who thinks it's hilarious throwing ties at Danielson. They really think they are so witty and clever, spending weeks looking up obscure references to yell. Fucking losers! |

Oh, I seriously hate head drops.
And more than anything, I hate Generico's brain buster. |

I will agree with Gertner that Roderick Strong is insanely vanilla, should be nowhere near a mic, and outside of his ring work which is above average at best, he doesn't have many redeeming qualities.

Oh yeah, number 5 : workrate.
And to clear something up, I've watched ROH/DGUSA numerous times. It's not the wrestling that turns me off. I'd actually like to go to an ROH event. It's the fucking fans that turns me off. I went to a TNA event last week and I spent half the time wanting to punch these three smarks who would not stop yelling out retarded shit in an attempt to get themselves over. |

And it's like the fans get offended when you don't do what they want.
I'm pretty sure there was a backlash because Tyler Black wasn't made champ when "the fans" wanted it. It's so friggen stupid. I like watching WWE and to an extent TNA because I find marks less annoying. You can watch it with anybody and everybody just chills. With indy wrestling it's like it effects their day if something doesn't go the way the fans want it to go. |

The difference in my opinion is sports are real. You are essentially getting pissed at a male version of a soap opera |

Just because it isn't real doesn't mean it doesn't draw real emotion. I'm not saying you're wrong, because you're not in terms of a lot of the fans. But to dismiss it just because it's "fake" isn't really fair when, at the end of the day, a sports team losing or winning isn't anymore important than a wrestling title changing hands. And if it is, please explain, because I fail to see the difference. At the end of the day, it's all entertainment. |

Volare hit it right on the head on why I won't go. I used to attend Border City Wrestling events all the time and the show which is run by Scott D'Amore are awesome, but it got to the point where I didn't want to spend money just to be annoyed the entire show by these fucking douchebag fans.

Yes, because hockey is real. Getting pissed at a wrestling event and having it ruin your day is no different than going to the circus and being pissed for hours because Dumbo didn't stand on that stupid ball.

I like ROH's tag team matches and Eddie Edwards, and I like PWG for lulz.
I like the big flashy arenas and sets tho which is why I watch WWE more. |

I just like wrestling all parts of it thats all. I could care less about work rate and I do enjoy some of the Chants the ROH fans do like "YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD KICKED IN!!!" Thats a good one but the crowds acting like critics when you say WWE or TNA and they start booing and shit. Yeah that does get a bit annoying.. I don't also like that hardcore Indy fans say that you are not a real wrestling fan if you like so and so.... I believe that we are all wrestling fans no matter what we watch.
Noone goes around saying that in sports that you are not a real fan if you enjoy a certain team. The main thing I like about the indy wrestling is the wrestling. |

Yes. Getting legit angry at a work is more retarded than getting legit angry when your sports team plays shit.

We were never really much of a smark promotion, tbh. I mean yeah, smarks come to indy shows by default, but I don't think BCW catered to them. We never booked "smark guys". Our headliners were almost always nostalgia acts.
