Danielson kind of typifies that kind of style. But there are plenty of styles on display.

I used to watch a fair amount of indy and japanese wrestling but all that stopped when we, in Britain, lost the wrestling channel. Now the only way I can watch those companies would be to either order videos from abroad, which I can't afford to do, or download it which I don't like to do.

There was a time when I'd consistently watch Noah, RoH, TNA, IWW, 1PW etc etc. It's a shame these products aren't made available to everyone because I'm sure there is at least a decent cry for it.

If I'm to give an honest opinion, here it is: The reason why I don't watch Japanese/Indy wrestling is because based on the elements I currently watch wrestling for, I don't think that I would enjoy it as much. Forgive me if this is ignorant but Indie/Japanese wrestling seems to put alot more emphasis on in-ring ability, the matches, and the performer's attributes (speed,agility,etc). While I think this is all important to the craft that is pro-wrestling, I'm much more absorbed in the character development and storyline aspects of prowrestling. While I know this is still done in the indies, it doesn't seem to have as much emphasis put on it as WWE puts on it.

Also, I'm big into the face/heel dynamic and many of the indies shows I've seen, the fans just cheer for everybody there. Like I said before, If I'm wrong then point it out. Willing to have "my eyes opened" but that's what I've seen so far from what I've been exposed to.

Narc, you might be interested in Chikara. They're usually very story/charactar driven and I think this was one of their best years in those departments.

It's really about actually being able to keep up with it and, to a slightly lesser extent, not knowing where I COULD keep up with watching the shows.

Also, I find wrestling without commentary which I don't know much about hard to watch unless it's a VERY good match. That's why I have problems with Japanese wrestling, the lack of English commentary. But if I'm interested in a talent I will go out of my way to watch it.

I barely find the time to keep up with WWE. I miss like half of all Smackdowns nowadays, even when I know it is the better show. I have NEVER seen ECW, despite one of my all-time favourites being champ there right now. Never watched Superstars either.

There's a ton of reasons why I don't watch. Narc hit the head on a few of them. But my big problem with not caring about Indy wrestling is that I grew up on WWF in th 80's. Around that time, characters were all over the place. Pure wrestling took a back seat to entertainment, so I never got into the whole pure wrestling thing, which is what a lot of popular Indy's are all about.


I love characters, I love storylines, and I love talking. Those three things I care more about the actual wrestling. And another thing is that I have trouble getting into these promotions that preach the whole "pure wrestling" thing when it's all fake. I can't shake that. Yes, I know WWE is fake, but they don't really base thier program around pure wrestling. So it's different to me.

I think ROH just came out with this ranking system and I believe other Feds use it. That to me is just weird because I know it's all fake. Having real systems in place for predetermined matches is strange to me. I don't want to see that kind of stuff in wrestling. I watch MMA for that kind of thing.

I dunno, that's my feelings
