I'll spell it out for you since you're clueless brother
Yes, wrestling will always look somewhat cooperative, it's about the nuance in-between. It's not supposed to look completely realistic because that would be boring, however it's not supposed to look actively fake and gay because that would be fake and gay, then you're sliding down the slippery slope of just doing things because they look cool, and frankly, pro wrestlers aren't comparable to specialized athletes, so why would I watch some bum like Ospreay do a flip at 0.25x the speed or accuracy a 14 year old chink on roids could?
There's a middle ground and the art of good pro wrestling is finding it and selling what you're doing as as much of an encounter as you can, making the unrealistic shit immersive.
This doesn't immerse me, it's just fake and gay.

>Hogan vs Rock is fake and gay
I actually haven't watched this in forever, and while I don't doubt it was mediocre in the actual execution of moves because Rock was working half-pace in his twilight against a Hogan working quarter-pace, they deserve credit for flipping the dynamic on it's head mid-match. That's smart pro wrestling.
>Ospreay vs Darby was great pro wrestling

They didn't flip anything, Hogan continued working heel while getting cheered. Rock played face and got booed. They worked the match they planned in the back instead of reacting to the crow - exactly what plebs like you claim the Young Buck's generation does wrong. A retarded and badly worked mess.

>>
>>16510829
You know, I don't even think that highly of that match beyond the spectacle, so even if I concede that it wasn't as well-worked as my memory may suggest, I don't really care. It could be trash and I wouldn't really be bothered. I don't particularly care about that match.
Ospreay and Darby was still slop though.

all they have are buzzwords. If you ask them to actually explain why they like something without relying on nonsense terms invented by meltzer like "workrate" or "psychology" they can't run away from the thread fast enough

Looked great, but I don't know any of those wrestlers and they look boring. If I cared just about acrobatics I'd watch Mexican wrestling or just olympics.
>>
>>16511278
meltzer invented the term "psychology"?
>>
>>16511306
In the context of describing a wrestling match yeah. Most people would go into greater depth than "it had no psychology"
>>
>>16511318
anyone talking about psychology is already at a cosmically autistic level. there's no 'greater depth' to wrestling. it's dumbfucks, preferrably roided out, that do moves to each other.
>>
>>16511332
but why do they do those moves to each other
what's the story
what's the significance of hitting a move from the apron to the floor
to try win by countout or just because the wrestlers thought it would be cool
wrestling is simple but these shitters can't even do simple right
>>
>>16511347
>but why do they do those moves to each other
it's fake fighting, that's why
>what's the story
one guy got mad at the other guy, or wants what he has, or is good or evil. very basic shit here, not sure why you would need to ask unless you're a legitimate retard
>what's the significance of hitting a move from the apron to the floor
cause it looks cool, again not sure why you're asking unless you're gay or retarded
>to try win by countout or just because the wrestlers thought it would be cool
probably because they thought it would look cool, i'm most wrestlers don't go into a match thinking let's make this look as lame as possible
>>
>>16511360
but it doesn't look cool the 500th time you see it
>>
>>16511363
sure it does. it's mindless, that's the whole point. if i want to be intellectually stimulated i do what normal people do and read a book.

Damn, Darby working hard to carry Ospreay. That webm is almost as good as some early TNA X-Division shit. I'm almost tempted to watch the full match but I won't though. Ospreay sucks too hard to bother with.
>>
>>16511347
Are you the same guy that got BTFO last night trying to claim ECW fans would have hated Ospreay because of his "lack of psychology"? Are you really still crying?
>>
>>16510230
The slingshot backflp to an elbow would have been based if Ospreay hit his finisher and won immediately after but the reversal and Ospreay bending down for the spot looked like shit for someone who is supposedly the best wrestler in the world.
>>
>>16511402
>Are you the same guy that got BTFO last night trying to claim ECW fans would have hated Ospreay because of his "lack of psychology"?
No idea what this discussion was but if you took AEW Ospreay 1:1 and dropped him in ECW yes they'd shit on him for being a prancing ladyboy
2021 HW Ospreay from NJPW would get over with them like Benoit though
>>
>>16511416
you should have just said yes you were that same guy though LMAO
>>
>>16511424
You're free to believe that but I'm not gonna strip Ospreay of all his merits, he was some real kino in NJPW, he's just reduced himself to the barest of his merits in AEW.

Yeah, basically. I'm not saying it's good, its just better and tells more of a story. You are saying the white guy is a bitch and the black guy is more dominant, that is more than I can say for Will and Darby which is just two guys cooperating in a dance of sorts.

A dropkick is more spectacular than a hip toss by definition, as it's much harder to perform, which anyone who can jump (spoiler: not you) has known since childhood, and Okada's dropkick in particular, is known for being flashy because of how much air he gets in comparison to other people who do the move. Incidentally, some air and sunlight would be a good idea for you too

We work Indy shows in towns that are very rural . We do drop down tackle and they pop . We do a hip toss spot where the face gets shine and the people pop huge.

Im really shocked that Will did his finisher and Darby just no sold for what? It just showed how fake his finisher is .

Stormbreaker is Ospreay's finisher, which Darby reversed throughout the match because of his size. This is what's called psychology btw

I just don't understand how anyone can watch this and think it's good wrestling. There's not even an attempt to make it look like a legitimate contest between opponents trying to win a match. It's obviously cooperative and preplanned. It's like if a magician went out on stage and explained his tricks step-by-step, taking you through it as he performed. Or if you watched one of these modern CGI popcorn flicks but saw it before all the post processing effects so you just saw a green screen and actors wearing mocap balls and shit like that. It kills the illusion and ruins the magic.
>>
>>16513049
Wrestling fans are in on the joke, and aew wrestlers know and want you to be in on the joke. This leads to them doing more and more complex shit to try and please the smart crowd. They all know it’s fake, and the wrestlers know you know it’s fake, so there’s not even an attempt to make it look real

wrestling fans used to not like having their intelligence insulted by pretending it isn't fake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2LJkwxWgUQ
>>
>>16513067
This is a bullshit excuse. Wrestling has been known as a work to fans since the 1970s. But it was treated seriously so fans could suspend their disbelief temporarily and get into the action.

By the same token, everyone knows the CGI popcorn flicks are fake. We all know the special effects are bullshit and the actors can't do any of that stuff. But we suspend our disbelief because everyone involved treats it respectfully and seriously. And I can say the same thing for stage magicians.

The only people that are ever fooled or ever have been fooled are little children and literal retards.
>>
>>16513083
That's an unintentionally good example you gave. I'm also a huge fan of kung fu films, especially the Shaw Bros. films from the 70s. Even though the action sequences were unrealistic, it was always treated seriously by the actors and the production, and great care was given to portray a real sense of danger, oftentimes resulting in serious injury or death to the loser of the fight (sometimes to the winner too). And the whole purpose behind the fights was to further the story being told in the film. We, the audience, are expected to sympathize with the protagonist and to want to see the antagonist get his comeuppance. It's quite similar to how a good pro wrestling match should play out. But that's not at all what we're getting with the Osgay clip in OP.
>>
>>16513091
It’s because lampshading as a narrative device has become so popular. And irony is plaguing western entertainment. We as a society can’t just watch wrestling as it’s presented anymore and become invested. We need to watch it under the guise of irony and point out how dumb it is because god forbid we feel anything genuine while watching something. I blame Joss Whedon.

It's everything. They are just taking turns performing moves on each other. There is no semblance that they are fighting one another nor that they are opponents in any way. They are clearly teammates working together to perform a tumbling routine. There is a complete lack of verisimilitude.

I dont mind the actual flips, the problem with flippyshit isnt the athleticism of a 630 Senton or Pac's Black Arrow or even a Canadian Destroyer, its turning what should be a match ending/nearfall move into a transition to the next yummy flip because none of these 5'6 150lb guys sell anything

I have multiple times. You literally can't understand it so you started rambling about how "the speed" and "the way bump" makes it look like a contest rather than cooperative, when in fact the opposite is true. Hence why you're retarded in the literal sense.

This would have been cool if Darby was faster on attempts the sunset flip so Ospreay didn't have to waddle forward like a retard, and also if after the flip counter Ospreay didn't wait a split second before doing the hidden blade. In these sequences these tiny differences are the world
Also his hidden blades are completely zero effort these days

Ospreay stumbles forward for a half second before the first sunset flip and waits for another before throwing the hidden blade, making the whole thing flow poorly. You're just a non-critical pleb.

>>
>>16513475
Doesn't really make sense, he baited him into flipping him safely on his feet in front of him back into a neutral position? A bait for a counter is followed by a counter, not an extension of the sequence, which makes it a poorly executed step, not a thought-out one with a purpose.

>>16513489
Darby didn't run at him, he just waited for a second because they're not good enough to do it any smoother

kek, he didn't even START throwing the strike until half a second after they were both stable, he waited too long, should've started it up sooner, looked sluggish

Darby uses the Code Red, so his opponent, if he's any good, will have scouted it before an important tournament match and be prepared. Yet again, you gave me the opportunity to point out why this match was good from a workrate and psychology standpoint. Appreciate ya! You're too stupid and literally pig-headed to understand what I'm saying. Like, sentences ago, posts ago, you got left behind. You'll just keep oinking in circles, but the fact remains AEW delivered an excellent pro wrestling show again
>>
>>16513613
all true I'm afraid
>>
>>16513613
>>stumbling forward
>>not looking vulnerable
He didn't stumble forward selling in any way, he stumbled forward in a very coordinated way which makes the whole "it's bait" stance fall apart, because it doesn't LOOK like he's baiting.
>Darby uses the Code Red, so his opponent, if he's any good, will have scouted it before an important tournament match and be prepared.
This would be good if Ospreay was selling and making it look like bait, that's what bait is, but the complete lack of vulnerability and coordinated nature of it makes the invitation look like a planned sequence instead of bait.
The rest of your post is just you seething so I don't really care about it.

I'm sure one guy has replied to you like, 3 times at least, but to be fair, you do have a point, but it's not the whole point.
It's like the guy you were replying to you said, if we take it being bait at face value, which it clearly was, then it simply becomes a matter of it not being lazily done.
Ospreay didn't sell or stumble, just lazily walked forward. That's lazy wrestling, bait's supposed to be believable.
This isn't advanced stuff to think of or recognize, it's difficult to execute though. Look at the difference between the Okada/AJ webm and the OP. If you can't see how much better they are because there's barely any hesitation in their movements and they're even in some cases preemptively positioning themselves aware of what their opponent will try next, that's intelligent, counter/bait wrestling done well.

This is not wrestling. It's sloppy gymnastics. You can see Will ducking his head for no reason to set up the next spot and blatantly throwing himself around to make a manlet look like a threat. It looks more fake than anything any other company has ever done.This is insulting to anyone with an IQ which is why AEW fans will always be considered simple minded retards.

It's crazy, isn't it? The grappling isn't actually that fast, but it's not simply about the speed, it's about how they match their speed to each other to fill in the blanks and make it look like a legitimate series of baits and counters instead of leaving half-seconds of dead air that show how fake it is
Even that punch AJ hesitated on was because he was visibly selling after getting kneed in the head
That's the difference between real pro wrestlers and Ospreay. Learn it.
