Nope, wrestling exists outside of WWE, mate ;)

Only Eagles is an Aussie Indie wrestler. The rest are Texas locals, wrestling in Japan, in WWE (Uh oh) or AEW.

I think because I like Joshi wrestling my opinion on Athena is skewed because I know what it's supposed to look like.
ah you're one of those types

Again with the attempted ad hominem.

You don't agree that her stiffness looks messy and dangerous? It shouldn't look unsafe at all. That Jody Threat match was messy because she decided to go stiff instead of communicating what was supposed to happen next.

I know who Alba Fyre is...obviously was referring to the names 99.99% of even the most hardcore wrestling fan would not know lol.
I think Promise Braxton was just on AEW Dark. Raychell Rose has had a stint on there too. They're shown on Booker T's Reality of Wrestling quite a lot. Thekla wrestles in Stardom.

Honestly when you said "Promise Braxton" I had to look it up because I was sure you'd just made her up. It's a very TEW regen name

Also you mean to say you think Athena was taking liberties? Pretty sure that's been debunked by now

yeah she also didn't decide to go stiff it was planned. for someone who claims to know indies, you should also be very familiar with Jody Threat's penchant for going stiff as fuck and taking crazy bumps. I've personally seen her wrestle multiple men before as well.

No, I just feel like she took it in a lazy direction that made both participants look bad. Jody Threat is a tough wrestler, I just thought Athena would be more experienced and be able to communicate the direction of the match better, without making it look messy.

When real fights happen it doesn't look clean and everyone doesn't fall perfectly

If it was planned then I am even more disappointed as it should have looked way better than it did.

Doesn't that argument just make the entire thing we are all here to discuss look silly? I get it, I just don't think a wrestling match is supposed to look that messy to the point where everyone looks confused.
