Fuck Monday Night Raw and Fuck The Sopranos.
Raw was based you mutt.

obese e drone seethe
BASED AS FUCK
Wheeling out the boomers of yesteryear to remind the current audience of how good it was compared to now is borderline retarded
workrate and flippyshit faggots btfo
He likes workrate though. He said lack of workrate was the problem. What do you even think workrate is?
did you even watch the vid you fucking retard
7:45 ya simp
workrate is ring psychology
This
he said them being unable to tell stories is the problem
He isn't entirely wrong. The beef in the feud should play into the match. If Ricochet really had a grudge against AJ, he'd maybe try to strike or slap him a little more often rather than say "Here's where I do the springboard rope backflip into my pose". Not saying that isn't welcome, but fucking hell, he's right. Make it feel realer.
Watch it user
yeah moxley and ishii made their match feel real, never see anything like that in wwe
He said both are, and they are basically the same problem.
It was everyone but Meltzer and his cult has been saying, WWE should stop focusing on the fake fighting aspect of it and focus more on the story side of things.
Well I'm not saying "GAH NO MORE FLIPS", but if I was gonna kick your ass, one of the things I'd want to do at the start of a match try to hit you or smash your head in. All the spots can come after as the flow of the match progresses, but I'm not gonna try to do a Moonsault in the first two minutes.
Also gonna add, I really don't care about "The Story". Sometimes rivalries or someone making a statement of "I want to be the first IWGP/IC dual champion" is enough for me to get invested in Naito to finishing Okada. I don't need some backstage segment that involves cucking, someone getting pregnant (and losing the baby) or spilling coffee on someone backstage. The writing in WWE is bad enough that I really don't want them to try to focus on "Story" all of a sudden.
If you go up top it should mean something. Look at Tanahashi. If you do high flying you should also back it up in the ring.
The problem is the stories aren't epic. The last time WWE told an epic story was Bryan winning the title at Mania and that was a complete fluke.
>The last time WWE told an epic story was Bryan winning the title at Mania and that was a complete fluke
It was all a fluke. WWE can't write or produce a captivating story to save their company at this point.
No it isn’t. Workrate is an outdated term smarks don’t understand because they’re little kids, but it is literally the rate of “work” (running around, bumping, gesturing to the audience, actively selling, etc) to “not working”, or resting, “rest holds”, or filler, or aimlessly doing nothing.
You can even make an argument that there is an inverse relationship between rate of work and traditional American pro wrestling psychology because repeatedly holding the baby face on the mat to build sympathy for him to make a comeback is the laziest non active work you can do. This also highlights the fact that heels are traditionally not supposed to have a high work rate on purpose while baby faces traditionally are, which renders the whole gay theoretical measurement worthless.
It makes sense if you use it in the context of some Japanese wrestling, but it still doesn’t really. That’s why when you see someone say “workrate” you know they’re just regurgitating meme words and don’t really know what the fuck they’re talking about.
That’s why measuring the rate of
>He said lack of workrate was the problem.
You are literally a retard. He said the matches no longer resembling FIGHTS was the problem. That has nothing to do with work rate considering he praised Hogan as a worker who was the complete opposite of a work rater.
Yeah it's a stupid word. Go back to ring psychology, or something. The word took off because of lazy US guys.
Matches in Japan look like fights. I just watched Shingo vs Moxley. Go watch that and compare it to any Seth match in history.
Work rate is supposed to mean making it look like a fight.
Did you watch the video? He said he doesn't like flips, so NuJapan is definitely worse than RAW.
RAM does more flippyshit then NJPW you imbecile
hes right you now
