Stiffness may be part of it. But world Of sport certainly wasn't stiff.

Yeah. That's hyper realism. Which I like but I can see how it turns some off. That stuff is like ' OK wink wink we know ya know its a work.so we are going to, instead of being larger than.life with our bodies and personality, be larger than life with our fighting spirit or what have you."
I think tjp v sawa at evolve 1 looked reasonably legit. Low ki v athu obviously LOL. But Im really not talking about strikes here talking about like realistic chaining, stuff that makes smart fans mark. |

I have only seen Johnny saints matches in world of sport and I don't recall many strikes or even all that many bumps. But please link me up!
Finlay v steen at bola was good too. |

I like mainstream American wrestling more now than in the past 8 years.

I just don't think mainstream American style has what it takes to bring on a new Wrestling heyday.

I always find myself bringing this match up, but John Morrison v. Evan Bourne on J-Mo's last night in ECW just made so much sense all the way through.

Yeah. But ya know what's different? Mma wasn't prominent then and for the most part TV wasn't nearly as good.

ECW-Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka!!!!!!! Fuckin Tanaka breaks his arm and keeps fighting, and even after winning the Heavyweight title, just holds his arm screaming for the next five minutes or so instead of celebrating (did later though).

It will require either better writers or better in ring action.

OK. So why not get rid of the wrestling aspect all together. If wrestling isn't over.

I think Brodus Clay can spark the next boom period.

Am I correct in assuming that you don't think the wrestling style has affected ratings at all?

If anything, I'd say that the quality of wrestling today is much better than it was during the biggest booms.

Maybe as a whole. But the matches are shorter. And the styles not as varied. You had cruiserweights, technical Gods, stiff ish, big brawlers etc.
Best wrestlers now Dolph Bryan Rhodes Bourne Orton Top in the nineties Hart Michael's bulldog Davey boy Jericho malenko benoit regal Guerrero I could go on |
