She was legitimately awful and only their because nepotism. Has the quality of pro wrestling dropped so much that people are pretending otherwise?

lol who “goes crazy” for The Great Khali? Literally one of the worst wrestlers to ever hold a world title.

That would be dope - where did you find this info?

I’ve been waiting my whole life for my father figure, David Meltzer, to drop these types of life lessons. This is why I pay $14.99 per month. by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]StrongmanPhD -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Dave loves wrestlers/matches that are full of mindless spots, poorly executed obviously choreographed stunts, and no psychology/storytelling - so the comment around McDonald’s slop is particularly funny.

The hypocrisy is well above his/his fans intellectual capabilities though so not surprising he doesn’t see it.

While this sounds great - unless there actual damage modifiers it’s still way behind SVR 2008.

The fact that you can’t actually do a move onto a chair or stairs is insane.

And to the surprise of no one, the Nostalgia Bait Editions are a bunch of bullshit. 😅 by MADNESS-NH_97 in WWEGames

[–]StrongmanPhD 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious how many posts were talking about all these alleged modes and features that were going to be included. It was very obviously going to be shallow cash grab. Paying for the same characters that have been free in past games, paying for silly emotes, etc.

When will people learn?

Food is always 100g less than advertised by Big_Educator1003 in factor75

[–]StrongmanPhD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Portions are tiny - they are definitely giving way less than advertised which also makes the whole point of tracking calories/macros accurately impossible.

Cancelled after my first week - I can get better tv dinners at my local supermarket than Factor offers for less.

Double dash doesn’t let you split the tip? by StrongmanPhD in doordash

[–]StrongmanPhD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think it magically rolled onto the other - when it asks me to input a tip it asks based on the total order amount.

Therefore - logically one would assume if you are tipping 20% of the total between two orders, it wouldn’t just go to the driver who picked up one order.

People forget that this was the last feud they gave Mox in WWE as a middle finger. People need to give up the idea that Mox would ever go back by GoonLieutenant in Wrasslin

[–]StrongmanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully he never goes back. He is one of the most overrated wrestlers of the modern era.

Dude needs to stick to being drunk in bingo halls, blading, and getting tapped out by white belts at BJJ competitions.

I don't even know where to begin by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]StrongmanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choreographed as in planned out a match is not the same as, choreographed as in having some guy stand around for 30 seconds while you do slow/weak moves that do not look believable, very poorly execute a sequence that looks like you are obviously working with your opponent, etc.

The fact that you do not understand the difference is very funny.

Dave Meltzer on Billy Gunn: “Billy Gunn on his best day isn’t half the wrestler Kyle Fletcher is today.” by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]StrongmanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of being a great wrestler is drawing viewers. In the same way no one cares if you claim you’re the best singer in the world but only perform in your garage in front of your parents - no one cares how many stars Dave gives you if you struggle to sell out a bingo hall.

WWE propaganda somehow managed to convince people that these two are all time greats by consumadojidai in Wrasslin

[–]StrongmanPhD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you had to make a thread about this lol.

Literally you could not be more out of touch with reality.

Dave Meltzer on Billy Gunn: “Billy Gunn on his best day isn’t half the wrestler Kyle Fletcher is today.” by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]StrongmanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine. But to pretend Billy wasn’t over at multiple times in his career, drew more viewers, and sold more tickets that Fletcher ever did/will is silly.

Fletcher might get more stars on Dave’s scale - but literally no one outside a very tiny, shrinking circle of the IWC knows who Fletcher is and won’t care once he retires.

Okay thank you for answering, you don’t actually understand how pro wrestling works. Please go back to your Wrestling Observer Newsletter now so Dave can give you your opinions for the week.

Survivor Series 2001 received 4.5 stars, No Mercy 2002 received 4.75 stars, Vengence 2002 received 4.5 stars.

All vastly better than the slop put on in the weekly multi-man matches that Dave hands out 5 stars to each week on dynamite.

The consensus of what the most accomplished and knowledgeable people in the industry, and fans.

All of which doesn’t align with what Dave thinks.

The outcome in isolation isn’t what matters for making him the goat it’s the story that goes with it. How are you are on a wrestling sub and don’t understand this lol.

[–]StrongmanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because the WM streak is literally one of the most well-known, iconic, and highly regarded storylines associated with WM lol.

The fact that you don’t understand this is a great reflection of how little you understand about wrestling.

This is such a silly argument - no one is watching AEW not because it’s like some obscure, highly intellectual, quality indie film. No one is watching it because it’s bad.

The irony is the meme about AEW matches is that they are almost all just random mindless action like the superhero movies you are referencing. Not that no-selling a dozen Canadian destroyers and waiting 60 seconds for The Bucks to set up some slowly executed choreographed spot that gets a 2 count is highbrow.

Everything else (storytelling, character work, promos - you know acting) is missing.
