Hmmm. I'm struggling to come up with an answer.
I enjoy all of those types you've mentioned as long as they don't go overboard. As long as it's entertaining |

The best rasslin matches are between two superheavyweights. Viscera vs Big Show matches were the best.

Oh it was great. Van Andel Arena in April 99, Monday night raw. Second best match I've ever seen live after Hogan vs Rock

Also, I am a big fan of amateur backyard rasslin. CHW was the best

But I feel like flippy stuff has really taken a hold in the last maybe five years (in the US anyway), which can be a bit much for me sometimes. Last edited by screech; 12-22-2020 at 10:05 AM. Reason: that made more sense in my head |

Just solid brawling, power moves, Drew vs Roman from Survivor Series type matches.

Depends on the storyline and the abilities of the rassler.

Guess flippy stuff out of that list but don't really have a strong preference for any one style.
As long as the match is entertaining to watch and flows well from start to finish, could care less about the style of the bout. I do lean more towards favoring action over in-ring storytelling or theatrics for match quality but that's mainly due to WWE being a lot more miss with the latter over the years. |

Not big on the flippy stuff, bunch of guys, heels and faces in a football huddle waiting for some idiot to do the 15th dive of the show is so stupid. Nobody’s sells anymore minus some of the better guys. It’s just one move after another that mean next to nothing because nobody sells anything, and it just becomes an acrobatic performance of scripted moves because nobody calls anything in the ring anymore. I enjoy AEW if I am going to watch the current product but sometimes that’s all the show is. And I prefer AEW only because I find WWE to be mostly unwatchable.

I wish I could enjoy the indy shit going on today but I'm too old and cynical. I think if I was still a younger fan I'd be into it and think it was the best shit ever. But I'm pretty much a less jaded Jim Cornette by this point, which is sad.

thats a pretty general recommendation though based off knowing nothing about what you gravitate to

Stuff that at least tries to have some psychology in there. If I can understand why you’re doing what you’re doing, then I’m going to get into it. That’s REALLY lacking from all the promotions at the moment. New Japan’s main event scene sometimes has it, but then you’ve got guys flipping into their opponents kicks on purpose too.

I prefer the styles of Austin, Bret, Taker, Flair... Those guys who don't rely on crazy high spots but realistic moves and strikes. Realistic in that classic way not nessecarily MMA style. I'm not crazy about fake MMA at all. In AEW, I really like Mox the most.

Yeah that's pretty much it. It all kind of depends on the match itself and circumstance of it for lack of a better word. I don't necessarily have a style preference here

Dusty was getting boos in 88. He started doing taped promos because he kept getting heckled.

Hence why he was teaming with Sting at Starrcade after teaming with and then teaming against in said program with the Road Warriors.
