Billy Robinson vs Antonio Inoki 75'
>>
>>18950432
There's as much psychology in these matches as there are in Western wrestling.
Most wrestling has always been "doing moves for no reason." Stop pretending there was a time when this was anything than a stupid over-the-top fake sport where most of the shit looked fake.
People are allowed to like fake shit that's different than the fake shit you like and insisting that it means there's something wrong with them for that is the most sweaty overweight fedora-wearing neckbearded bullshit I've ever heard.

>>
Rey Mysterio vs Finlay, from a Smackdown somewhere in 2006 or so. No high stakes or anything, it just felt every single move was perfect, the contrast between the styles was lovely, just an all time favorite

there's a Dugan vs Diabiase match, Mid South, from the 80s, where the entire crowd is ready to fucking kill the heel, and 90% of the match are just punches and headlocks but it just works for me I dont know why

Dory Funk Jr and Terry Funk vs Tsuruta and some other japanese legend, maybe it was Baba? NJPW, late 70s. seeing the crowd go apeshit for Dory, and the contrast between this old and fragile wrestler and being treated like the second Jesus left an impression on me for years

I really loved Cena vs Punk in Chicago, the first one where Punk won the title

Gail Kim vs Kong in TNA

Takeshi Morishima vs Bryan Danielson in ROH

every single Nigel McGuinness match during his ROH reign as champ, absolutely love him

Holy fuck, imagine being up this high on your fucking moral high horse.
He knew the risks in the business. He chose to do what he did. Shit happens - he died from a basic suplex, not anything particular spectacular.
People get hurt. If you don't like it, don't watch fucking wrestling. The business has always been like this.

I want to say something smarkier like the Fenix v Mil Muertes casket match in LU, or Lethal v Briscoe title v title in ROH, but damn I love Hogan v Rock so much
One of the hottest crowds of all time watches two titans go at it, and Hogan has this over the hill gunslinger at his last shootout aura where you just want him to get the win one last time. Meanwhile Rock reverts back to the cocky heel persona that got him to be a star in the first place as Hogan is digging into his Red and Yellow bag of tricks, and it's like two star athletes pulling out all the stops in what they both know is the biggest bout of their careers, giving a historic feel that commentary adds to as well

True, love Goldberg. Even the Jackhammer on Hogan looked like it hurt.
>>
The reason pro-wrestling was big in the 90s and is dying currently is that it's so fucking fake now. Everyone is afraid of getting hurt and hurting each other so they usually work extra safe or do moves that involve obvious cooperation and it just looks lame.
AEW is never going to draw the normies. People don't want to watch coordinated gymnastics. Nor are they going to watch Jap shit. But what too many of you don't get is that they're not going to watch modern WWE either because it's fake and gay and, if they wanted to watch stories, they will tune in for the dozens of other shows on television that tell better stories with better acting.
Back in the day, people tuned in because, even though they knew it was fake, it was over the top and there was a chance someone would get hurt. It was like watching a train wreck. Unless it goes back to that it will never be mainstream again.
Most people don't want to watch soap operas with grown men and women playing slap ass.

I hated tna for its entire existence. Going back, knowing there was no use in being mad at the booking and that they would always suck. The matches are pretty good.

Wrestlers do more stupid shit than ever though, what are you watching?
>>
>>18951967
That's the point though. It's stupid shit, but it's stupid shit that looks fake.
Back in the day, they did stupid shit that at least looked like it could take place in an actual fight. And they worked stiffer, they weren't worrying about, "Ooh, I might get a little owie concussion if I do this!"
In all seriousness, it's good that they work safer. I'm not really rooting for people to get hurt. But the problem with working safer is that it looks faker. That turns off a lot of people who tuned in for the raw nature of it.
Ain't too many people who are going to tune in for acrobatics or soap opera stuff. That's why it will never be main stream again.

I dont have one, but the best ive seen this year was savage vs lawler. Its not gonna excite everyone but i like it alot.

Those Misawa/Kobashi matches are the best though. If you’re talking about pure excitement, I don’t think it gets better than that. The Misawa/Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue matches are a lot of fun, too. Then you factor in their matches with Hansen, Vader, Akiyama, etc and you have so many fun matches to watch.

It's not an objective measure because you can't actually prove which match people bought the ticket to see.
>M-m-muh main event
There are many cases where a different match a bit lower on the card is actually what people came to see, and there are many people who buy tickets who don't care what the matches are at all.
