Ready_Willing_Gable Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Angle is often cited as one of the guys emblematic of all the problems with wrestling in modern day era. Ha! Learn something new every day. What's the usual reasoning behind that then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Too big of a focus on moves to get a pop in the moment, not enough on playing to the crowd, telling a story, effective transitions, long-term selling, etc. That's the common critique.

Coffey Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 There's many discussions about Kurt Angle around here. You're not going to see him finish too highly in most lists in the GWE project, if I were a betting man. Â The same is true of other names, such as Shawn Michaels. Whom in other corners of the internet always competes for number one of all-time. Here, there are some people that won't have him Top 100. Â There's just some posters here that have seen so much wrestling, from so many eras from so many different parts of the world, it's pretty overwhelming. Like, we've had two years to put a ballot together. There's just a few months left & I already know I can't get to everyone & it's going to make me feel bad. To the point where I've questioned even submitting a ballot. I'm completely ignorant on Lucha, for example, and when I try to sit down & watch it & educate myself on people like El Dandy or Atlantis, I just lose interest. I can't get into it. I'm the same way for old footage, too. I can't watch grainy black & white clips on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think the thought is that if someone has no lucha it'll counterbalance my no Japanese ballot. I have so much UK watching to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 When is Sami Zayn coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Whenever Zayn comes back, it needs to be to the main roster. The guy that he has the most to deal with is no longer in NXT. The title has kinda moved on with Balor and at this point you just cut your losses and move on to the next thing. Zayn could very easily get a good reaction if he was a surprise entrant for a team in one of the Survivor Series matches. Especially if one of the foes on the other side of the ring is Kevin Owens. Hell just have the camera catch Owens's reaction when Zayn's music hits. Â Edit: Hell afterwards you could have easily spun it off into a feud over the IC title with the idea that Zayn is pissed Owens took his NXT title so as a measure of revenge, he's taking Owens's IC title.

Timbo Slice Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Zayn's coming back during the Royal Rumble as a surprise to take out Owens and set up a possible WM program. He's due back in January and it fits perfectly with the timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Would be cool if Zayn eliminates Owens early and then has a star making performance as the ironman who ends up in the final four before Owens comes back out to distract him into getting tossed out.

goodhelmet Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Which means that both will be unceremoniously dumped by Stroman in about 12 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Re-watched the main event and upon reflection I am bumping it up to **** 1/2. I like this match more and more every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codysseus Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I definitely liked it more the second time. The pieces came together a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
