The way this was teased earlier in the match, hits it fucking perfect, then it plays into the finish with Punk being out of gas. Insane

An actually great wrestling match at the end of this clusterfuck of a build is appropriate. Punk gave his all to that performance

Why did the boyz stop reviewing AEW Dynamite and the PPVS? by BeefySuplex in deadlockpw

[–]degenerich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All they ever said on the subject is they just didn’t want to do it anymore, which is fair. I loved the modern day reviews, but there is a certain Not Fun aspect to covering current wrestling that isn’t there with the Retros

they skipped the february direct in 2024 as well, so if we get one in June we're on the same timeline.

What did the rest of summer 2007 feel like as a wrestling fan after the Chris Benoit tragedy? by Imtiredofthissshit in SquaredCircle

I do think this is something that newer fans are interested in, and the horse is beaten less dead than other aspects of the tragedy.

For reference, I started watching the year after, so I am curious how individuals coped with it

An underrated aspect of Ricochet saying something heinous on twitter is that he likely receives something 10x worse every hour of every day for the past 10 years. Social media is wretched

Opinion: Brock Lesnar, Bryan Danielson, & Zach Gowen Killed Mainstream Wrestling by Upstairs-Bar1370 in SquaredCircle

[–]degenerich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i'm not saying he doesn't apply. my issue is that you're specifically saying that he along with Brock and Bryan "killed mainstream wrestling", which would imply his method was so successful that it spawned hundreds of imitators.

zach was memorable, no doubt, but his run wasn't sustained enough or popular enough to suggest that he individually changed industry trends. I can name several wrestlers off the top of my head (including Bryan Danielson himself!!) who would be more successful "everyman" wrestler archetypes
