Reminder good matches and rivalries don't need a major story to be dimes. Competing to see who is the best is all you need.
>>14395214Then why didn't Rock Lee vs Gaara sell out Planet Retard Stadium?
Another good example
>>14395243Job-geta killed most of his friends and was trying to enslave and destroy the Earth.what the fuck are you talking about?
>>14395214pic unrelated I guess?
>>14395230no one thought a midcard match whose sole purpose was to build up the new heel of the fed would be that dimes.
>>14395214>Top guy has a shock loss against a new up-and-comer >The feud is based around the former top guy trying to avenge his loss>The up-and-comer is actually a top talent from a different territory who uses magic to stack the cards in his favour >The feud then evoles to be about a former champ trying to protect the business from all this new magical bullshit The rivalry had a storyline behind just wanting to be the best. NJPW used to do this well, where feuds are based around ideology. AEW just mashes matches together with no reason
that doesn't work for fake fighting
>>14395214>>14395243Come one, post scryed now. I know you want to
>>14395243>>14395258Buu Saga fight was the better example, but still has Vegeta coming to terms with his place with his new family as a backdrop. Maybe they can turn Bryan into Osprey’s Vegeta, becoming obsessed with needing to beat him
>>14395243Absolute retard take if all you think to their story is "I want to be the best"
>>14395214>>14395243OP outing himself as a giant retard: the thread
Does this count?
>>14395326That could be dimes, and you know the AEW posture on dimes
I WANT TO CUM INSIDE ISHIZU
>>14395214>Yugi and Kaiba's first duel was about Kaiba kidnapping Yugi's grandpa and hospitalizing him>>14395243>Vegeta and Goku's first fight was about Vegeta wanting to destroy Goku's planet>>14395368>long time childhood rivalryOP is a retard btw
>>14395214Competing to see who is the best wrestler in kayfabe is a perfectly acceptable story. Competing to see who is the best at the art of performing pro wrestling is not.
>>14395214https://www.sholetteseminars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/BarthesWrestling..pdfWrestling is a physical medium that contrasts the ideology of its combatants. A struggle of good and evil. In other words, Meltzerism is a complete abandonment and bastardization of professional wrestling. You don't enjoy professional wrestling. You enjoy nothing.
You always need an investment into the match. The story is the important part
>>14395214>>14395243>>14395368All have at least years of kayfabe or realtime history and story
>betrays Nobunaga out of nowhereWas this a face or a heel turn?
>>14395214Can be true depending on specifics of the feud. AJ vs Nakamura in WWE bombed but Angle vs HBK was extreme dimes.
>>14395809>nooooooooo you can't do things the smart way so you can win>what do you mean you reward people based on their perfomance instead of just their family!!!>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENobunaga was a face with heelish presentation on a fed full of slimy heels pretending to be faces
>>14396262>all heel programIt’s. Just. That. Simple.
