>/pw/ told me to recover the Austin/Hart feud to understood what "Real Rassling" is supposed to be
>Watched both their SS '96 match and the WM13 submission one
>90% of both matches are litterally just kicks and punches
>Slow as fuck
>Most intense moves was a single piledriver by Hart in match 1 and a single head chair by Austin in match 2
>First match ended with an anti-climatic roll-up; second one with the "losing by passing out" finisher /pw/ hates on all matches aside this one i suppose

Did i got filtered or boomers just have nostalgia googles? A random lowcarder nowadays is a better, more atletic worker than both Hart and Austin were

You got filtered. That submission match is the greatest and most important of all time. If you can't feel the excitement and emotion in that match, then wrestling is not for you

a joshi thread died for this

>A lowkey pedophilia thread died for a pro-wrestling thread
Good
>>
>>19703773
joshi threads all look the same, I can scroll the catalog without even looking at them, but some retard baiting me with his shitty hot take on the best match ever is just a pain in the ass
Enjoy the 30 seconds of life your dumb shit took from me
and choke on it

I just asked for an opinion pal, cool down

American wrestling was mostly trash back then and it's mostly trash now. You're unironically supposed to watch for the promos and segments and skits.

Not enough flippy shit for ya zoomie

>>19704107
Its a little too much i admit, but still neither Hart nor Austin would had every been able to do this shit
>>
>>19704151
come again Sar?
>>
>>19704151
They wouldn't do that shit because it makes wrestling look like a shitty amateur acrobatics circlejerk. Nobody would take it seriously.

>>19704151
Peak Bret had enough agility that he could wrestle like this with a little effort.
It wasn't his style though, and one of the problems of today's wrestling is workers don't know how to slow down.
It's not a high speed contest where everyone needs to get their shit in.
You dont get that because you've been groomed to watch shit like this>>19704107 as a viewer and think it's normalized ring work.

OP is the true modern wrestling fan. He hates matches that have

The lifecycle of a smark

>entire personality is loving the wrestling company with the most moves, fake historical knowledge and understanding and insult people for only watching mainstream american wrestling
>seen all the moves, it becomes boring... wasted a decade of their one life on this earth shitting on people for not liking the most shallow form of wrestling, maybe the old timers were ri...
>can only enjoy wrestling from the 70s and 80s that's just punches and kicks
You'll get there one day OP.

You got filtered because you don't like wrestling, you like action gymnastics in ring.
I don't blame you, that's what you grew up in, that's what the business evolved to but real wrassling is more like imitating Rocky movies or some real heavyweight boxing bout going 12 rounds with no clear winner, upper hand going back and forth before the decisive turn or move. In a sense Yu-Gi-Oh is more wrassling than wrestling itself.
the goal, for the wrestler is to get the fans to engage in what is happening, the drama of the match so that is believable to the crowd while not shattering the illusion that it's fixed or assisted.
That's what changed in the 00-'10s that smaller guys that imitated Jeff Hardies of the time, doing high flying against bigger guys because they needed that to go over the behemoths of the time forgot that it's not supposed to be choreography and waiting around for the flip. There's a kind of damage what was done to believability and grounded nature of wrestling when that started moving tickets. Real wrassling is more to what a average Joe would do to take down someone in family gathering without permanently injuring them than about jumping off the roof to headbutt your uncle.
The Rock types with Vince's blessing did the same sort of "damage" different with the overt showboating because that's what got the crowds to buy a ticket at the time.

But the real test, the real wrestling, wrassling, isn't so much about if your moves are cool but if you can get someone to watch and pay to see you wrestle someone grounded, down to earth, with skill and technique without doing a flip. Most money out of least injury, money and miles. Ironically, It's more Kenny Omega wrestling an inflatable doll without the embarrassed and foolery than doing cool gymnastics and stunts.
Flips are cool looking and all, they sell tickets, but the art is grounded to reality. Ideally you can do both wrassle and then flip for bigger money and pops
