It reminded me of Zach Sabre Jr. saying "if someone is going to moonsault you off a balcony, why don't you just move?" The arm stomp thing is really bad and takes me out of the moment in Shayna’s matches because she does it a lot. In general, there’s way too much standing around while waiting for someone to hit a move these days. It can occasionally be done with dazed selling but most people don’t pull it off. The earliest I remember seeing (and hating) this type of thing was people laying/hanging onto a ring rope while someone climbed up the ropes in ECW.

Cobra Commander Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This might be the sinus pressure causing slight wooziness talking but I just realized that Otis kinda looks like a mix of Val Venis and Ron Jeremy. Not sure if the world is ready for Otis to take the Val Venis gimmick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Remember when Heyman and Bischoff was first named as head Bookers of Rawc and Smackdown, the internet was in an uproar over what HHH wasn't given head Booker role for on of the brands. He probably knew about NXT going to Cable at the time and wanted no parts of the blame for the other brands if they didn't improve. I'm sure he has as much influence and input as ever but he he knows he wont get criticism that Vince , Bischoff ,Heyman and now Pritchard gets.

Brian Fowler Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Watching some 90's stuff lately, abd since he was brought up in a roundabout way... Mideon/PIG/Tex Slazenger/Dennis Knight was a truly awful wrestler. There's a match from I think 96 against Fake Diesel where he just completely deadweights Kane on a side slam, and then does it again on what would've been the Jackknife. If Kane wasn't so godamn strong, the dude would've gotten himself killed. Funny thing is that Henry Godwinn/Shanghai Pierce was actually really godamn good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If you ever wanted a Wrestler to like something you tweeted, tweet something nice about Rich Swann. I've done that twice, and Su Yung liked both tweets. I assumed it was someone doing a Su Yung tribute gimmick, but no, it's actually her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all true, and I liked watching the Pierce/Slazenger team, but the faces Naked Mideon would make whilst doing his thing always crack me up.

AxB Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just rewatched Omega vs Moxley from Full Gear (reminder: If you bought it on Fite.tv, it's disappearing tomorrow night). I thought I remembered it well, but it was just the second half of it that had stuck with me. It's actually a really long match, and the early parts of the match before the violence level escalates exponentially are a really good brawl. The running dropkick over the guard rail is insane, but you forget it happened once the real bloodshed kicks in. So is the double footstomp from the stands onto the trashcan, but again, nobody remembers that they did that. And it's strange that they both bled so much, but by the finish it had all stopped, dried and rubbed off. If you wanted to make a WWE-ified PG version with black and white crimson masks, you could show the finish in colour. Also, there were about 40 mousetraps, I paused it and counted. Not 50 or 60 like Excalibur said, but also more than the 20-30 low estimate some people reckoned. They weren't evenly distributed though, most of them were concentrated on the bit of the board nobody bumped on. Kenny rolled over more moustraps than he landed on.

I’m shocked that you don’t list Bandido’s finisher as your least favorite spot, especially since you watch ROH TV. Even Sabu thinks the 21Plex is too contrived.
