Thats fine and great, but personality and mic skills aren't wrestling.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Last time I checked, they go hand in hand.

Once again though you kinda contradict yourself. CHIKARA is pure comedy and ridiculousness (excluding a few of the more serious guys)... they don't even have that many quality wrestling matches.

About time someone said it. In all my time in the IWC I've never understood the admiration that CHIKARA seemed to get. I was like "it has wrestling ants!" :

 

[Cap]

Yes they are.

Really, because that alone can put on a match, right?

[MENTION=53]Booty Wyatt[/MENTION], NXT is great. Mind you, I'm talking people on the roster. PAC, Hero, El Generico, Xavier Woods and a few others are very, very good.

[MENTION=35]The Viper[/MENTION]; I said PWG, not Chikara.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Yes they are.

To play devil's advocate for a moment they're part of the showmanship in wrestling, but they're not technically part of the wrestling itself.

If you paid attention to any of my posts, I've said I am a WRESTLING fan. ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT WRESTLING.

Well don't get me wrong, CHIKARA is great. But people don't watch it for chain wrestling and figure four leglocks. They just want to see the characters and the deep storylines.

The problem is, everyone is too god damn angry. "WWE is too childish" "PG sux yo"

C'mon. Everyone likes wrestling. Everyone should be able to enjoy all aspects. Such as, wrestling, personality, humor, mood, and theme. Wrestling is Entertainment, and it always will be.

I say, sit back, and have some fun.

What is an Oreo wihout the creme?

What is an Oreo without the Cookie?



These sort of things are like Peanut Butter and Jelly. If you want to be a successful pro wrestler, you should have both.

There are acceptors, such as RVD.

To be fair even though this is the highest I've been on the WWE product since 2002, I still think WWE is too childish.

I don't think they're going to change, nor will I complain about it, but it would be nice if wrestling was geared to me and not the six-year-old who had his mom buy his ticket.

RVD has natural charisma. I don't think he's an exception either.

I'd say it's geared toward all audiences tbh.

I little too deep for my blood. I couldn't follow that theory by LB to save my life.

They pushed the limits in the last few months, especially with Dolph ziggler.

They're still not geared towards to adults though. Which is fine. As long as the wrestling is good again. And it is.

So as long is there is good wrestling its fine? No faces, no heels, no mic work, no building feuds? Throw people out there and have them wrestle and thats good for you?

I agree with sabs. This is a business. In-Ring Work and Mic Skill/Theme/Storylines come hand in hand.

Theres a reason WWE is the best, and probably always will be.
