    Focusing more on the in ring product instead of characters is whats killing WWE, we would just tune in to UFC if we wanted actual fights we watch for pure chaos like in Attitude era

      It’s literally so sad. I got called a loser earlier in the comments because I didn’t watch new Japan. I got called a loser by a neck beard because I don’t think not any iyo Skye matches are dream matches lmao. Wwe and wrestling fans are the reason why wrestling sucks now. Did you see the nxt ppv crowd? All overweight men. Do you see dynamite crowd? All old man/ over weight. I love wrestling just as much as the next guy but come one on. Wrestling has the worst fan base. Next to anime. And book for these neckbeards lol.

    This is call a 'heat' move. Heat, unlike what the iwc thinks, is when the audience wants something to happen. So you have little things in your match and presentation that the audience pays to see you do. Some people legit bought their tickets to see Austin catch and guzzle beer. If you paid to see Hollywood Hogan and he didn't do the air guitar you might be pissed.
    Only ppl on the current roster that get it are LA Knight Roman Shemus Drew and Orton

    Bret Hart his character was that he was a submission specialist who claimed that he was the best wrestler in the business. I know not all wrestling fans care for Bret as a wrestler cause of his serious persona. When he would do what became known as his five moves of doom such as a backbreaker and flying elbow drop he did those four moves before winning with the sharpshooter as his way of indicating that he was going to win. Hogan was the same way with his hulking up and would do his signature finishing antics and moves to win.

    The matches should be the icing on the cake. Kayfabe should be kept to some degree as some of the moves they do today break the shit out of it. It takes me out of the match if they are obviously helping each other. Moves like the Cody cutter are so stupid and should be done like once a year something cause it's so fake. Canadian destroyer and Randy Orton doing rko from a flying nothing are stupid too. I mean sometimes the wrestlers are jumping straight into the rko and it makes no sense. It should be about good promo and storylines with in ring shit that makes sense.

    I semi agree with you hater mostly on the importance on character & antics in wrestling. However, there are plenty of wrestlers today that have signature taunts and antics in wrestling. Daniel Garcia has his dance that go him way over. The Young Bucks have their EVP trigger taunt, Kenny Omega has his throat slash for his one winged angel. Miro has his "game over" taunt signaling his finisher. IDK if you're referring to only WWE (Nakamura has his weird dance & his taunt in the corner signaling the kinshaza), but they're plenty of wrestlers that have antics in AEW.

    they have no psychology.
    that's the problem you are talking about clearly. 7:02
    I remember Dean Ambrose (who for some inexplicable reason you hate, even though he does all the the things you say you like. Same with Bray Wyatt, which again is strange. Then you love Cena and Roman who are lame ass boring characters like Cody. Bu whatever) Any way Dean Ambrose came out during a Cesaro match just after he started getting huge pops when Seth broke up the Sheild. So during the match he hits Cesaro witth a cool move after Cesaro had been working him a while
    and he goes for the top rope and he say "wanna get nuts?" like Batma 89. He gets a HUGE pop.
    Does the same thing the next week huge POP. Next week he does it. HUGE POP. Its like his signal, I'm about to kill this guy and PEOPLE WERE WItH DEAN. The very next match I'm watching, waiting to pop for 'Wanna get nuts" and there's nothing. I'm like what the fuck happened? It played so well into his character. It was getting him majorly over, he could have sold millions of TT-Shirts. Like WTF is going on?
    Turns out I think that WWE told him to stop doing it. Probably Triple Nose, because they didn't want him getting more over thhan Roman. Thhat's what I suspect. Either that or Dean Ambrose has got to be one of thge dumbest motherfuckers of all time because it was immediately over and fit his character to a T. Or maybe Warner Brothers trade marked the quote for Batman, but I highly doubt that. But yeah, its like the Peoples Elbow, you need that thing to bring the crowd in. That psychology I think helps get your gimmick over. It also allows you to slow down the -pace of the match. Put yourself over as an arrogant heel or a fighting babyface.
    Once again Bray Wyatt doing the bridge walk.

      @@kpimkpim349 Lol Well I always liked him and trust me, I'm not a smark. He's not in my top 50. But i'd rate him over alot of wrestlers The Hater likes, including Roman Reigns, Bortista, Randy Orton and even John Cena's persona after Doctor Of thuganomics. I can honestly say Dean Malenko entertained me more. Mainly because he wasn't shoved down my throat when he wasn't even over. I am very much into great characters with gimmicks. In-Ring is important but its a far distant 3rd for me when it comes to wrestling.
      That being said, I always found it refreshing to see the more technical wrestlers like Dean, Benoit or Eddie, as a break from the bigger guys and personalities.
      The best thing obviously is to have a balance of everything like Rock, Kurt Angle, Macho Man even Hurricane lol.
      But yeah it was just funny to me to pick on Dean Malenko who is a thousand times better than someone like Daniel Bryan. At least he knew his lane and stuck to wrestling rather than boring me with 20 minute long promo or comedy segments that were trash. And I actually liked him when he was doing that James Bond lover gimmick I think with Chyna when he got to the WWE.
      If anything the wrestlers that modern day guys remind me of is Perry Saturn or Lance Storm. Its like if in the attitude era, they depushed The Rock and then gave wrestlers like Perry Saturn and Lance Storm long "comedy" and promo segments when they don't have the charisma to pull it off. That's what Gunther, Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes remind me of.

    That's why despite the awful booking and zesty nature of Vince McMahon, I gotta give the devil it's due, when it comes to main event talents, he's an OG
    1. Goldberg
    2. Brock Lesnar
    3. John Cena
    4. Batista
    5. Randy Orton
    Just to name a few of the talents Vince McMahon gave monster push to, a shame Randy Orton through Vince McMahon under the bus. It's well, Randy Orton under Triple H will get exposed... This "grind" and work rate Triple H is catering to, to push his Indi NXT iwc marks, will expose Randy Orton as overrated... Mm
    The only good thing that came out of NXT was Bron Breakker... Kudos to Ricochet he definitely knows how to put over big guys .. Ricochet put over Bron Breakker, Strowman, Bronson Reed, he made u care about them.
    The only reason I watch NXT is to see Bron Breakker dominate. All Bron Breakker needs is Paul Heyman to be his mouthpiece
