On the Tanahashi WOR episode he said the new Japan style or puro for that matter is “too slow” and makes the audience fall asleep. He basically wants everything to be CMLL/AEW . It’s amazing to see this guy love video game psychology which basically is backyard wrestling. The Puro style always starts slow and builds up to bigger and more powerful spots. Bryan also fed into this , the guy who hates “headlocks”
>puro opinion discarded
>>19627241He's 100% correct
>>19627241He doesn't like storytelling in matches, he's literally too autistic to comprehend it.
>>19627252The style is made for braindead numales who want to seal clap . They fake boo the heels and cheer the faces no matter if they’re good or not. They love Swerve because he’s black and it’s makes you not racist to cheer the token black talent . The psychology in the matches are all braindead. Tony fills his shows with 15 of these matches and they have the exact same spots . Literally no one gets over
>>19627241They should just exclusively cover AEW at this point if they’re going to blow them to this degree.
>>19627241This was always the issue with Meltzer's conception of good wrestling and what exemplified it the most is him constantly dishing out 5 stars to the most mindless spotfests around because the guys went 200 miles/hour for 35 minutes so it's automatically more athletic than whatever a Tenryu would have been doing 30 years ago. He's just not emotionally invested in this shit, or at least lost the ability to be invested somewhere along the road. His disregard for logic is one of the main reasons why people should stop taking him seriously as a ''critic''.
>>19627241was he seething about wolf/evil getting the biggest reactions of the night? i know he hate those two
>>19627278Swerve first got over as a heel though
I got into AJPW partly to get away from the endless high speed spotfests. There's a few in AJPW but nowhere near as many as some promotions. It's nice to be seeing some actual headlocks and holds and slams instead of endless flips.
>>19627268He loves callbacks though?
>>19627341Swerve didn't get overNana started shucking and jiving got over
>>19627241Dave really is a midwit who thinks his being impressed by lots of fancy spots done at rapid speed means a match his good. He legitimately does not undersand the basic fundamentals of what makes a match good. The type of dipshit who thinks the best basketball player is the guy who shoots the most 3s.
>>19627241Dave will always defend and champion AEW until his dying breath because it’s what he himself has pushed as the future of pro wrestling: the indies on a big stage. He’s quick to point that CMLL sells out their shows with their all flash and no substance style. Ignoring that no one in America gives a fuck about cool looking moves and bangarinos or AEW would be the number one promotion in the world by far.
>>19627395Kyle Korver and Vince Carter are the two best basketball players ever
>>19627405AEW doesn't have very many cool moves matches, and they have very few matches that try to be "bangers" outside of PPVs. Most of it is just pure filler tagslop where nothing happens, or stalling matches with interference and 10 minutes of sloppy outside brawling.The idea that AEW mostly focuses on "having banger matches" somehow works both their fans and their haters into believing it.
>>19627405If AEW wasn't the future WWE wouldn't rip off every thing they do
>>19627552They just had a month long tournament predicated on said bangers, and will probably have two more tournaments this year
>>19627241>meltzer is a brainrotten retard whose last vestiges of taste and nuance have long since departed as he now only wants fast-paced stimulus and constant dopamine because he can't parse anything but the most obvious and simple action and storytellingBeen that way since 2019>>19627371Callbacks are just super simplified stuff
>>19627405>He’s quick to point that CMLL sells out their shows with their all flash and no substance styleThis is also because beaners are sub-80 IQ retardsThis -lucha and all lucha-infused subspecies- is the style that meltzer puts on a pedestal as the smart fan's style. Stuff that comes from a country of sub-literate brown retards.
retarded pedophiles mad
>>19627368Better to watch UWF then
>>19627722Yeah the aew fans sure are mad that people are waking up to how low-brow and trash it's wrestling is
>>19627291His not understanding wrestling is pretty exemplified by his gushing of Manami Toyota but his ignoring of AJW's actual (and better) big stars at the time in Aja Kong, Kyoko Inoue and Akira Hokuto. Toyota wrestled the style he liked so he put her on a pedestal which caused other smarks to do the same since like Dave they liked the faster paced MOVEZ style because they were only used to American TV wrestling which was much slower.I remember there was a backlash in the early/mid-2000s against that style. Spot monkey was a common pejorative, guys like Jeff Hardy were hated by smarks and even dudes like AJ would get some blowback at times as being seen as spot guys and not real workers. Then Dave gave that Dragon Gate showcase match in ROH and suddenly the smark opinion changed and being a spot monkey became more accepted. Then Dave started going to PWG and the Young Cucks began cultivating a friendship with him (partly genuine, partly to promote themselves) which then meant that wrestling a style that appealed to Meltzer became profitable because attention from him upped your name value, your booking fees and your merch sales.
>>19627744>how low-brow and trash it's wrestling is
>>19627780I'm not sure how old-ass phil and neposhitter bronlet being clumsy does anything to negate the fact that AEW is low-brow trash for sub-literate transvestites but I encourage you to keep posting funny webms.
>>19627775Don't put all your schizo headcanon into one post anon, the new year just started
>>19627793>low-brow trash for sub-literate transvestites
>>19627775PWG and it's consequences have been disastrous>>19627818Thanks pal
>>19627268storytelling doesn’t have to be boring you literally retarded e-drone. Okada/Omega series are the best storytelling matches of time, and they broke Dave’s scale
>>19629327>Okada/Omega series are the best storytelling matches of timelmao
For me it was realizing how much better and cooler New Japan was than all Japan when Dave wouldn't stop deepthroating the latter.
>>19627241His boyfriends omega and osprey aren't there anymore so of course he doesn't care
>>19629327>Okada/Omega series are the best storytelling matches of timego back plebbit
>>19627775That might have something to do with the fact that Manami was very cute
Anybody got the exact timestamp and a source?too many people just fucking lie on here
>>19629327>Okada/Omega series are the best storytelling matches of timeOkada/Shibata told a better story and it did so in one match not four
