[MM16] FINALS: SASHA BANKS vs. BAYLEY
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
I appreciate RIPPA posting who they beat in the first post so I can weigh my spite more easily. -
[MM16] FINAL 4 - SHINSUKE NAKAMURA vs. SASHA BANKS

You can throw shade now but we'll have the last laugh. -

I would love to hear it since I have him about seventy spots lower on my gwe ballot. -
[MM16] FINAL 4 - SHINSUKE NAKAMURA vs. SASHA BANKS
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
He was super fun in Fantasticamania. Nak may not be the most consistent wretler in the world but I don't see an argument for Sasha over him based on volume. Peak I could begrudgingly accept (the G1 Climax final is a top three 2015 match from me and none of the Sasha-Bayley matches come close) but volume? Nah. -

Imagine if someone said the exact same thing TC did about Nakamura about Sasha. I don't think they'd be with us anymore. -
[MM16] WELCOME TO MARCH MADNESS 2016 - ULTIMATE SURVIVAL
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
This year's tournament doesn't count since the real BITW Yano Toru wasn't in. They're setting Rush up for big things so we're making a big push for him next year. Rush 2017. -
You're assuming casual fans watch NXT.

[MM16] GREAT 8: BROCK LESNAR vs. MIL MUERTES
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
The thing with Brock is that people DO get shots in at him, especially at house shows. It just......doesn't feel significant in any way. Like, you may hit a few moves on Brock, but he'll just kick out of your finisher, suplex suplex suplex f5 bye. And personally I don't find that nearly as amusing as, like, Gary Albright UWFi squash matches -
[MM16] GREAT 8: SHINSUKE NAKAMURA vs. BECKY LYNCH
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
Not my fault they're making it so easy. Plus I am bitter over Satomura losing when she is way better than both Nakamura and Becky. Clearly Dance GIFs are the secret to success in MM. -

Exactly why I voted for Brock. Dudes are voting for a cleverly-polished turd here. Dylan made a pretty good argument against that on PWO -

You'd think the joshi wrestlers would get the weird fanbase but it has turned around to the point where you have real people in arenas carrying "Sasha is my waifu" signs: and the drooling in the MM threads. -
No actually, it's not. Violence is just a tool. One I happen to appreciate a lot, but you can work "stiff" and still bo terrible at the wrestling, like, I don't know........Davey Richards. And just working stiff doesn't mean you're going to make a control segment the most compelling thing in the world.

I just don't see how Bayley is better than Kana/Asuka. Like, Bayley has good matches, some of which were against workers who aren't especially good, but most of them aren't, like, terrible or anything, and I don't think her stuff vs Alexa, Carmella etc. is something that would rank in a top 100 matches of 2016 if I did one of those. I'd say whad adds most to her case is actually the series of matches he had before the first Sasha banks, Her matches vs. Emma, Charlotte and Becky were all really good. I don't think she's done much since in an environment in which she is super protected I'd say it makes more skill to carry Cameron and nameless faces to good matches than it does to have something entertaining vs. Eva Marie when you have a short match with the absolute perfect overbooking. But I also don't have much emotional investment over wrestling in 2016 and I especially don't have any for NXT so. Vote for what makes you happy. AJ Styles is a wrestler I guess.

Muertes has better punches. -
[MM16] WELCOME TO MARCH MADNESS 2016 - ULTIMATE SURVIVAL
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
RIPPA has abondoned lucha in favour of a little girl whose dreams will get crushed once she faces the cruel reality of the wrestling business when the call up comes. It's fine. She can have this year. Rush is set to have several apuestas matches it seems. There's next year. There's always next year...... -

It is now clear why RIPPA decided to exclude Satanico. -
[MM16] Sweet 16: SAMOA JOE vs. MIL MUERTES
GOTNW replied to RIPPA's topic in 2016 MARCH MADNESS (Archive)
Look I'm glad you guys enjoy Joe's work but I don't see anything special. I'm not sure he's having better matches against Zayn than he did versus Magnus which.......isn't a good sign. His heel turn also felt incredibly mundane and unspecial. -
The real reason I voted Honma over Busick is so I could bring that up in the next round as I thought that would make it easier to beat him than Busick, who has done nothing problematic as far as I know.

All of this is part of my convoluted master plan to assure Bayley doesn't win in the end

This was in the voting period:
-
My friends were screwing around during recess and one guy locked the other one in a full nelson and of course being the dork I am I couldn't miss this chance so I chopped him and somehow that almost knocked him out. Uhm. Wrestling. In March 2016. Yes...
