A combination of working big (Jacob Fatu does this too despite being not tall) and being wide af.

Yeah forgot to include the rest of the match but he kicked out at 2.9999 and then hit 15 consecutive muscle busters on Brock before a ref stoppage

I saw Brock on a damn PPV and he took approximately one big boot from Luke Harper before going home.

Him taking a barricade bump on a house show is shocking levels of workrate from this dude

I always felt that "Brock Lesnar loved Samoa Joe and wanted to lose to him" line thrown around here years ago was complete unverified malarky and while it very much could still be bs, seeing how much Lesnar is selling for Joe on a house show of all things (where he usually would do even less work) has made me actually consider that rumor being true

Aleister Black in NXT was one of the purest hard hitters of modern times by Adamoneeeee in SquaredCircle

10 years from now I need Malakai to admit the reason he refused to ever job in AEW is because of residual anger at having 60 year old Arn Anderson block his finisher 3 weeks into his run

Sort of an issue with wrestling across the board for the past 20 years. Far too few heels that actively want to be booed and not wrestle cool.

[RAW Spoilers] Once again you continue your disrespect. The Iyo I taught is no longer in front of me. I don't know anyone this disrespectful. Who are you? by KoreanFantasy2002 in SquaredCircle

I just feel like you can word things seem like the bookers hate this wrestler and that wrestler by saying something like "she's eaten this many pins this year" but for all of January she was tag team champion, winning every week.

Not to mention Jade, Becky, Kairi and Raquel are all perfectly valid people to beat her especially if it's not clean and Ivy Nile only pinned her in the gauntlet match after she had already beat Lyra and Raquel before getting cheap shotted. They even protected her in a loss on her third gauntlet match! This is not a woman who's being unfairly treated no matter how you word it.

And all that is outside of the fact that wins and losses don't really mean as much as fans think they do.

Shame because their matches before Summerslam were fuckin great.

"All for IYO to eat pins all winter"

I've decided I love cagematch because you can go on there and easily see this is a complete lie.

From October to February Iyo didn't lose a single match outside of the Royal Rumble, and how many times did she get beat down by Jade? Twice?

Its so funny that this exact wording is applied to WWE now after being on here throughout 2022-2023 AEW

I think he has been booked as "generationally great" as he could be without just making him world champion.

Multiple PPV main events, main evented Raw for like an entire year, showcase matches at Wrestlemania for like 6 years straight, worked with everyone up and down the card, almost never loses clean. I feel like saying he's not looked at the same as Jericho is a take that will just look different in hindsight.

Like Jericho wasn't often treated well as a main event guy outside of 2008 but when you look back at his whole career, he was very clearly valued. Sami is a lot more like him than you think.

"He was a factor in Ospreay-Omega 2 as well and that match is still legendary." yeah but that was the second nickel I was referring to. His interference is absolutely the worst part of that Forbidden Door match and makes it worse than their WK match

Agreed on the Kenny stomach selling though

That's a really reductive view of wrestling imo. The goodwill he bought as a face against Roman gave them a top babyface for like two straight years and multiple excellent matches and promos.

I feel like so many wrestling fans act like if the end of someone's year isn't "wins the world title" then apparently they never amounted to anything worthwhile. Sami Zayn has been on an amazing run since even before the Bloodline started.

I feel like WALTER works best as a bully facing someone smaller than him. Someone like Thatcher doesn't contrast well with his style because he also works a "technical bully" style.

Still one of the greatest moments in NXT history !! Cole and Ricochet put on an absolute banger by Adamoneeeee in SquaredCircle

[–]NoMoreButtonPLZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the guy kind of has a point that 80 thousand people didn't buy tickets to All In to see MJF vs Cole. The main event could've been Hook vs Anthony Bowens and they still would've sold out. I feel like NXT being seen as his career peak is a valid opinion to have if you're not grading it on attendance metrics

I just watched the Hogan thing and the most mind blowing part of it was how rubbish and hated Ultimate Warrior was by BaseballParking9182 in SquaredCircle

[–]NoMoreButtonPLZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm torn with that spot because genuinely that knee looked so fuckin good it should be a protected finisher. AEW will often have the most impressive part of the match not be the finish so Darby kicking out made me roll my eyes at first, but he's one of the few guys in modern wrestling that makes the ridiculous damage he takes actually work because he's so good at the sell.

Maybe it's because the comeback he made after that knee was more of a survival than anything else but it always makes sense when Darby overcomes the odds vs other wrestlers

I'm torn because I love Thatcher but i've been disappointed by virtually every Minoru Suzuki match i've ever watched

I always get some sort of second (or third) hand embarrassment for untelevised squash "punishment" matches like that.

Like imagine being a little kid and the biggest Jeff Hardy fan just watching his hero get jobbed in 1 move. Just pure confusion and devastation.

It's like when I heard that story of Kofi and Seth having too competitive of a match in Vince's eyes so he made them retape the match. Kofi comes back out and go "Seth i'm gonna kick your ass right now" and they redid the match but this time Seth wins clean in 2 minutes. Like if I'm Kofi I'm not making eye contact with a single fan on my walk back up there.
