My friend whats me to show them some wrestling matches because they've never watched it.All I keep thinking of is smark brained shit like Omega vs. Naito G1 Semi-Finals, but what are matches you think are good without much context or buildup required. Something where the match and the spectacle speaks for itself.
i've thought about this a lot honestly and i came to this conclusion that these 2 matches are the perfect entry points.>cody vs seth - hiac>sami zayn vs johnny knoxvillemy criteria is basically, it has to be modern because if you're trying to get someone new into wrestling thats what they are most likely to watch. it also has to be instantly understandable even by the most unaware watcher.cody/seth has the pec tear reveal and work which immediately kills the "you know its fake right" attitude right away. it has a striking visual and a crowd that is so hypnotized into the match.sami/knoxville is the perfect retard comedy match to show them the more goofy side of wrestling. the crowd is red hot and pretty much everyone knows the jackass crew and the match is insanely funny while also having ridiculous bumps. also the announcers are going apeshit the entire time.i would only recommend older stuff after they've watched some new stuff first because its simply too different
>>19177797Dudley Boyz vs Tommy Dreamer and the Sandman from ECW One Night Stand, with Paul Heyman's promo of course
>>19177797Rock vs Hogan WM X8
>>19177812Don't listen to this anon. Show them the older stuff first. If you show anybody modern shit first they'll never want to watch wrestling again.
>>19177848ignore this anon, if you show them old stuff it will make you look like a redditor
>>19177797obligatory
>>19177797whichever who show them, try not to show them matches with botches that take you out of it
>>19177797Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville
>>19177863This one is great because it gives you a excuse to mention Chris Benoit
Brock Pisser vs AJ or the one against DB at survivor series
I would start with Sharkboy's coma arc in TNA.
>>19177855How do you know what redditors like unless you visit reddit, you redditor?
>>19177840This or Austin vs Bret at WM13. If anyone hates either of these matches there is no hope of them being a wrestling fan
AJ Styles
Show them Vince vs Stephanie

>>19177797Bret vs Shawn ironman match from WM12it's the GOAT

Cody Roman WM40WeeLCJerry Lawler vs. Joe LeducCody vs. Dustin
>>19178444good match, bad outcome. the peope wanted the hulkster to go over.
>>19178531What's the world even coming to when the Hulkster can't even beat a black guy.
>>19177797Tell him to watch Phil vs Yeet tomorrow night
>>19178531The Rock going over was the right choice.Allowed to maintain his heat while Hogan became instantly over and endeared back with the fans. Hogan didn't need to win again, he became massively over again.
>>19177797TLC 2
Its still relevant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOc2S04YiC0&t=1sThe age and language barrier will do all the heavy lifting for the weird idiosyncrasies of wrestling. Violent, deliberate, clear face and heel. Undenyable emotion from the fans.
