It's not their fault, that's just a rule of tv wrestling for WWE until Vince just decides he wants the match to keep going. Its nothing really new to this situation. WWE teaches its wrestlers to work for the cameras , Not the audience anyway which I believe is a dumb approach that's been around for a long time. Never heard this before. Er, how does this work since every televised show is held before a live audience? 3-min chinlocks? I assume they don't typically just forget the match and stand around like Alexa and Bayley did last night/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 IWA Mid-South isn't a Death Match company any more. They're family friendly now. More fan-free wrestling: And also, for the handful of people with IWTV: Quote Starting this Monday, March 16, on Monday's, Tuesday's and Wednesday's, IWTV will stream an event at 1pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm Eastern Time. These events will all be new to IWTV, and will include classic footage from the Smark Mark Video archives, recent shows that have not been released on IWTV, shoot interviews and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can sell on the floor or the heel can stooge for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "not wrestling during the commercial break" thing is gone now that they're doing picture-in-picture, at least during the matches that have it. This was a recent thing anyway and it looks to have already been kneecapped. Edited March 14, 2020 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 One of Corny's talking points of late is "coming back from break in a resthold." His theory is that you should come back commercial with action to re-engage the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His theory is that you should come back commercial with action to re-engage the audience. Well, even with action to re-engage the audience, it is a necessity of having to have the time down to the letter- invariably with WWE matches at live crowds, the rule of thumb has become "suicide dive to the outside before the commercial break", then during the break the heel takes control and locks the face into a resthold until the show comes back from break."

AxB Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Whereas in AEW, during the break the heel gives the face a sheer drop brainbuster onto the ring steps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that people hunting things like giraffes is the absolute stupidest thing in the world. Not only are they just about the most peaceful and non threatening creatures on earth but unless you have a rec room the size of the Superdome where in the hell could you even put a stuffed giraffe? In fact I am in favor of providing people with support giraffes during these troubled times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm a lifelong hunter, I would never harvest something I wasn't going to eat. I'm a little uneasy about trophy hunters. But, because everything in life is breaking bad, those Africa trophy hunts are outrageously expensive and are generally part of a management program. The money raised by those hunts sustain the parks where the animals live and without that money poachers would probably exact a much greater toll. Again, it's something I would never do, but it's hard for me to be against it based on the what it accomplishes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
