Reed Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Wait...why can't their profession and love be the most important thing in the world to them? I bet people like Lance Storm, Booker T or HBK love wrestling every bit as much as DeMott or JBL do. But they aren't beating the shit out of people every day at their wrestling schools and calling it a "learning experience." 1
RandomAct Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 You can love math and still be terrible at teaching it. 1
Matt D Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Reed, Do you even watch wrestling or do you just read about it so you can talk, drooling, about every scandal like you do about every other fucking thing on the board? 3
Reed Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I wish Matt D put as much effort into giving his own opinions as he does obsessing over mine.
Matt D Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 DeMott's an asshole. Glad he's gone. Let's move on. There we go. 3
ebbie Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Here's a trick question for everyone: What was the last legit "perfect" match you saw? Like there was not a damn thing you could find wrong with it from the entrances to any extra shit that went on before and after the bell to the ending to who won.
Craig H Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Every year Matty has changed. 2013: Matt Dumb 2014: Matt Delightful 2015: Matt Demott Also, Matt D is alright in my book.
cool arrow Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 People psychoanalyzing people they've never met through anecdotal evidence. Can't we just talk about back slides and drop kicks? Or the stuff that really matters. You know, punches and missile dropkicks. Missile dropkicks are so 2013. This is the year of double foot stomps. Curses! Out of the loop again.
Brian Fowler Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I'm fairly positive it's the year of the German suplex 1

Like there was not a damn thing you could find wrong with it from the entrances to any extra shit that went on before and after the bell to the ending to who won. Sami Zayn vs Adrian Neville at the December NXT PPV, I would say. Maybe I overrate it a little because I was in a bit of a wrestling funk (and still am, unfortunately) but that match was exactly what the doctor ordered at that time.

OSJ Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 New trainer will be Albert. A good choice. And for Mr. Demott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQLQ1Rc_Js 1
S.K.o.S. Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Missile dropkicks are so 2013. This is the year of double foot stomps. It's 2005 again? Might be a cyclical thing. Like the Chinese zodiac.
PetrolCB Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Chinese Zodiac should've been one of Beefcake's many gimmicks.

Like there was not a damn thing you could find wrong with it from the entrances to any extra shit that went on before and after the bell to the ending to who won. Nothing, but I'm nitpicky and don't believe in perfection in general.
Godfrey Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I'd have to watch it again (for the 100th time) but Hart/Austin at WM13 seemed to work perfectly, especially for such a tricky concept.

Well, the internet IS bitching that Vince has fucking lost it because the E is behind isn't the guy the internet is behind. Then there's the promotion that's been around for a few years getting all the love because "it ain't Raw."
cwoy2j Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I'd have to watch it again (for the 100th time) but Hart/Austin at WM13 seemed to work perfectly, especially for such a tricky concept. Recently I'd go with CM Punk winning the title at Money in the Bank. I'm a huge Punk fan so I guess I'm biased but that match worked on every level for me. As far as the perfect piece of pro wrestling, I'd go with Flair/Savage from WM8. Great angle, awesome match and untouchable shenanigans and post-match promos from both parties. 1
Matt D Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Bryan vs HHH was pretty damn well perfect for what it was trying to do. 1
Web Conn Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Michaels vs Flair at WMXXIV. What a perfect ride out in the sunset for Flair. Too bad he had to fuck it up in TNA. But we were fools to think Flair would leave quietly. 3
SirSmUgly Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I know this will get rolled eyes from the growing number of "NXT is overrated" folks, but Zayn/Neville where Zayn won the belt is the last "perfect match" I have seen. Zayn had a chance to cheat and win the gold, and he resisted it. He got knocked down again and again and had every reason to take the shortcut, especially since Neville had done the same thing, especially since his career was on the line, but he didn't, and he won. He overcame temptation and listened to the better angels of his, and our, nature, and he came out victorious. In a world where the good guy almost never wins and where entertainment often focuses on antiheroes rather than pure heroes, it was really nice to see a guy who was a good guy win by maintaining purity of heart and deed and doing things the right way. 6
