I thought about this for a long time. But when I read the "Who trained Zandig" in the Misc. Promotion folder, and something caught my eye. "Josh Pro. probably got trained, since he is more technical then M-Dogg." Does training really make you a good technican, or can someone off the street, who has watched Steamboat/Flair, Hart matches, Benoit, Angle, Gurrerro, or whatever technicans there are in Japan (I no nothing of Puro) put on a better technical match then someone who was trained?

Having experence of working you matchers, and using ring psych are is needed.

willing to not to stick to a formula and know when deviate from the norm inorder to put on a good performance, of course a expect knowledge of the basics would help also.

I've always felt that to be a technical master, you have to have a crispness that can only come through constant refinement and practice. Take Chris Benoit. Every move he makes has a snap to it that you can't teach to just anyone.

Shane, you just described a versatile wrestler. That's different from a technical wrestler.

 

A technical wrestler is somebody who is very smart psychologically, and someone who can take you down with smart tactics and mostly fundamental things. Like Kurt Angle, for instance. He takes you down with takedowns, suplexes, and the like, and then looks for a submission. And on the subject of being taken off the street, I think that if you have a mind for wrestling, are motivated, and tough, you CAN be taught the basics, and then improve on those into your own style. It just takes that extra incentive to do that.
