March Wrestling Thread/April Thread will be up on the second /WM Week

Hideo’s not trash, he just had his entire move set lifted by two other more appealing dudes, basically rendering him nothing special

You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song.

So now he's just a small man without a distinguishable look. Sounds good.

 

[D Fly]

All that spazzing and finger gang signs does nothin for me. I know people think i just hate naka just to hate. I want him to succeed. I just dont think he gets how to entertain a american crowd yet.

My bias aside, he is slowly starting to get it. He dialed back the craziness a bit and isn't talking as much now. They finally starting to realize that Nak doesn't need to spazz like an idiot all the time to be charismatic.

But as previously said, the WWE Title match will definitely be make or break for him. I honestly hope he proves the doubters wrong.

Also bring back the damn red font for his tron.

Can’t argue with this. His Raw debut where he ran down to the ring with his belly shaking and looking like a loser did him no favors

Also if he ain't coming out to something as epic sounding as this, imma smack Vince:

It was.
It had 2 pretty significant botches but the storytelling was incredible.

I dont understand how a match can be riddled with botches and still be given a perfect score bc of 'storytelling'

There are countless movies that have GREAT stories/plot but who's execution of the film is poorly done.

They dont get perfect scores.

Just stupid logic

Things like the yellow font make me wonder sometimes exactly what's going through Vince/creative team's mind/s..It makes zero sense to change the color on his name to a color that isn't remotely associated with him..Like, what is the logic behind that decision?..

I've seen great matches that have botches but yet don't take anything away from the match..Kinda like if someone botches a springboard but it can be played off because the guy's opponent did damage to the leg earlier in the match..But the GL/YB's match had botches you couldn't explain away as part of the match/story..

I really didn't like how Matt has been selling the injured lower back for weeks, but yet he's the one who they have kick out of a pin attempt after approx. 30 minutes of actions..To me that didn't make sense..

And I, personally, think the match went about 5-7 minutes too long..Now having said all that I still say that's the best tag team match of the year and it'll be damn near impossible to top..They told an excellent old school story with modern day moves..Absolutely loved that..If we're giving out stars based on a 5 star scale, I'd give it a 4.25..

Which STWW episode are you on?

I'm on HBK 94/95..Only 4 more episodes and I'll have listened to them all..Once I get caught up I'm going to start listening to random episodes of Tony Schiavone's show..Since, from what I understand, it's a show you need to listen to while you watch a show/ppv it'll take longer to get through and I'll be more selective..

Did you hear that Conrad is going to have a new show with Eric Bischoff?..It's called, I think, 83 Weeks..Which I'm assuming the name is about how many weeks the beat Raw in the ratings..

Don't understand it either. It's one of those prime examples of if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The orchestral version of Snickers' theme.

And I agree about it being do or die for Nak at Mania.

I think he and AJ will deliver though.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[MajinZuub]

I believe in Nak and AJ to put on a show.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Just finished the match. Really enjoyed. Contrasting styles were interesting to watch. There is still a lot of suspension of disbelief when it comes to ZSJ style against bigger guys like Okada, but whatever.

Had no problem with Okada's rainmaker looking weak after getting his arm/shoulder worked on all match.

Man Okada is TALL. You act like he is carrying any type of weight forreal. I don't get you in this case

 

[the 718 truth]

The main reason nobody watches 205 is the time slot, and we really don’t need an entire separate show for cruiserweights in 2018. Y’all love to say they’re handcuffed but you never watch the show. Last weeks fatal 4 way was excellent but how many checked it out? I guess uncle Dave gotta co-sign.

Agree 100%, he was an average wrestler.

Tell me about IT I have worked on a few movies like that.

I think Botches make matches actually more realistic. Ain't no such thing as a "pretty" fight. Might be pretty moves, but matches are supposed to be contests.
