LooseCannon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Does anyone else feel that wrestling discussion has been pretty dead in the IWC for the last few weeks or so? Nobody has been watching Main Event and fewer people than usual have been watching NXT/SD. Maybe Total Divas sucked up their attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The word "sucked" is well-chosen in referring to Total Divas. And WWE "divas" in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Some of us are drowning in '80s project stuff so that's gonna sap conversation/focus. I actually missed Main Event so I could watch the Raw replay since I only saw the end on Monday due to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm just spitballin here, but its September, which means in no order of importance to US based wrestling fans: Back to school, NFL, and new tv shows getting ready to start. Plus GTA 5 came out tuesday, new WoW raid started, League of Legends World championships are going on... That stuff will pass, and the wrestling people will go back to their old stand by.

More people post to complain than to praise, and that's with anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That really is true. A bad Raw will get 25 pages in a day and the last one is sitting pretty at a mere 13 pages three days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 To be fair, a lot of the 25 page threads are shitgimmick posters and bitchery at each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The WWE performance center has a new toy. The screencap for this looks like Kuato pissed someone off in a bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The WWE performance center has a new toy. That was pretty awesome. WWE needs to use that for a new Raw opening ASAP. Also, Emma's slow-mo hair toss... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has been watching Main Event and fewer people than usual have been watching NXT/SD.I personally stopped watching SmackDown when I noticed the last match/promo/angle/anything that they didn't just re-do on Raw was the Sandow/Cody briefcase deal two months or so ago.As far as Main Event goes, there's nothing to discuss. Quality matches or no, nobody is going to care about a show where nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Oh jeez, super slow mo in wrestling could be the best, especially for promo packages and show openings. Packages and openings are exactly the reasons we don't need super slow mo anywhere near wrestling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Tape a two-hour Raw and put the matches in super slow mo to stretch it out to three hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovietShooter Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I can't imagine a guy like Harley Race going around shaking everyone's hand fifty goddamn times. I can imagine Harley getting into one of those test of strength handshake deals with everyone he meets to prove who the bigger man is. (answer = Harley) Well, that was supposedly the impetus behind the kayfabe handshake. If you are familiar with the Kayfabe Handshake, but always wondered why wrestlers did it that way, this is exactly the reason. Like I said though, not everyone still does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality matches or no, nobody is going to care about a show where nothing happens. Maybe not a lot of people, but I for one don't need much to happen on a wrestling show outside of wrestling. What am I missing on Main Event? What are the last few matches that are worth tracking down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 well, you had the famous/infamous "slow motion" matches, such as the one between the Olsens and the North Star Express. Loathed by certain parts of this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That would be Darren Corbin, he could manipulate time, some people were immune to it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 CHIKARA didn't bother me. I used to watch some shows here and there. It wasn't my thing but it could be enjoyable and I was a big fan of The Osirian Portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think that wrestling discussion here seems narrower than even last year, I liked it when people were pimping matches left, right and centre. It felt as if I was constantly being led towards new stuff, or at least stuff that was new to me. Who was it that was always trying to pimp Vordell Walker matches? Is that Chilean lucha company still on the go? Why isn't Dean watching more obscure stuff for our amusement? I could be more proactive with seeking out my fix but I know I'd have to wade through swamps of bad wrestling. And I'm lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
