Indy comments which don't warrant a thread

No. Look, I know where you’re coming from and I’m basically the same way but going into that particular match, you had to be aware that it was going to be a complete high-spot roller coaster train ride of a spectacle just like you have to take most TLC type matches where selling, story and all those pretty things that make a great package elsewhere gets toss aside.

 

You went into that match looking to grade it like an essay for a school paper. There wasn’t any point in doing that because it’s not going to be executed in the same manner of most regular matches. It’s not a Danielson match where you can break everything down into a complete examination because there was nothing to break down in this match. I can completely agree that the match had flaws but I’m just saying and it’s not in direction of you but rather a community of a whole, why bother trying to examine a match with the same criteria as another match when it wouldn’t be possible.

It's because people have their own ideas about what things in pro-wrestling entertain them. Don't look at criteria like it's some scientific concept, look at it like it's a person's personal preference. To some, pro-wrestling matches need a clear face/heel structure and a story revolving around that concept. Others think a lot of big spots need to be performed. There are many examples. The point is, you can't make someone view a match the way you think it should be viewed. You can say "it was meant to be a crazy spotfest, so don't bother looking for the little things", but that won't matter to the person who enjoys the little things.

 

I understand what you're saying, I just think there's a difference between giving credit to a match for "doing what it was meant to do" and personally enjoying the match.

I enjoyed the Blood Generation vs. Do Fixer six-man a lot. I thought it was tremendous stuff. Sure, from a selling and more traditional standpoint it didn't have the meat that some people want, but it wasn't meant to. It was meant to be a fast-paced, spot-spot-spot style that drove the crowd crazy. And it succeeded in doing that to such a degree that the fans were chanting "please don't stop" as the match was heading to the finish. If the goal of a match is to get over with the crowd, have them popping big for what happens in the ring and popping big for the finish, then the match worked. It did its job. If you like that style, then you're going to love the match more than someone who doesn't like that style. I showed the match to a non-fan friend of mine, who doesn't like wrestling and really can't get into it. They not only loved it and were going crazy for it but wanted to see more of the same.

I'd point out IWA doesn't run deathmatch shows and deathmatch shows alone anymore and hasn't done for years, but whatever.

 

Plainfield is usually the deathmatch venue, I think. Everywhere else they tend to run straight wrestling with nobodies like Hero, Cannon, Cabana, Delirious, Sydal, Low Ki et all.

 

Yeah, Hero, Cabana, Sydal, Delirious and Low Ki are nobodies. what?

 

Sarcasm. We need some sort of sarcasm tags, it doesn't translate well onto messageboards.
