Beautiful.
Have you seen that Lion Gate show? It was pretty fun. Robinson/Shiozaki was really good stuff, didn't imagine this from Robinson, never saw him as a good worker tbh.
That entire show was just amazing, no bad matches at all, and the main event was just incredible.
Pretty cool documentaries.
Ospreay vs Ricochet was pretty damn great.
I thought he came off as such a brat.
"Vader didn't like my match. I'm gonna mock him!"
You can see Trent hanging his head in disappointment in the background, which makes it comedy gold.
It's a matter of perspective. Some, like Ospreay, tend to think of this super flippy style as the evolution of wrestling. Whilst old timers like Vader, preferred the style of his generation. This happens all the time and the only reason this blew up as it did is because a lot of the high flyers like Ospreay and the young bucks, have super thin skin and absolutely hate to be critized, and will publicy out whoever doesn't like it on twitter for sympathy.
Wrestling is an art form that fits so many different styles, so everything fits in it. Ricochet himself said on this match that it was something special, but even he wouldn't be able to watch a show consisting only of this match.
I can definitely see why people dislike, but also like it. I myself prefer more ground based juniors like O'Reilly and Kushida, but that's me.
I can see why a full card of this sort of match would be a bore to watch. But as a match and to get a crowd going like that then for me it'ss a good thing. Diversity is what makes wrestling great we don't always need the brutes kicking ten bells of beef out of each other. I presume that's why this cruiserweight tourney for the WWE though as it brings in a style that the WWE doesn't have in vast amounts and the people they have that do are very grounded. A match like that could reignite a PPV that has collapsed on itself or has had a great match before and just switches the style up to get the crowd pumped again. The more difference in styles the better as there is something for everyone.
