>thanklessly has better TV matches on throwaway C-shows from 20+ years ago than any of the "workrate banger" merchants on TV todayHow did he do it? What was his secret to consistency?
>>19430649Good training
>>19430649Japanese lightweights were workrate banger merchants Anon, but you're allowed to like them.
>>19430664They were workrate banger merchants, today's guys are "workrate banger" merchants with quotation marks
>>19430739So what you're saying is, that being a smark was cool back then but now it isn't?
>>19430757You're so upset lmao
>>19431188Getting invested in a short debate hardly makes me feel upset, though I suppose since you're laughing your arse off you're actually right
>>19430757this but unironically
>>19430757Pretty much. Back in the day the dudes in the crowd with smarky signs were always normal looking men in their 20s. Now they're 40+, fat, and balding.
>>19430664Tajiri actually had a personality and was unique and funny
>>19430649He always tossed his opponents' salad the night before the match.Something about "chi" or some sort shit. Dunno. Sure could shine a butthole, though.
>>19432165>20 years ago smarks in their 20s are in their 40s nowno way
>>19430649>How did he do it?I don't know why but I also had this thought and the only conclusion I could come to is Tajiri is the GOAT.
>>19432466Most of them stopped taking wrestling so seriously so only the most vile ones remained.
>>19433290The worst part is that the ones that left never got replaced by younger smarks. So now you're left with an aging audience that demands that the companies pander to them. Most young people die of embarrassment when they turn wrestling on.
