    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    No you stated their good and I pointed out that objectively they aren’t. If you said you liked them or that is good to you, that’s something else. A niche like today’s matches, most do not, they are objectively not good.

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    I don’t know where this idea comes from, when have I ever said a taste was wrong? People are entitled to like whatever they want and I never condemn that. What I do condemn and will always condemn is when that taste is niche and that person asks for their tastes to be catered to. That’s gonna...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    Strawman. No one is saying that he can’t have an opinion, he likes Mauro and that’s fine. I can then give my opinions and reasons why he isn’t a good commentary. I’m talking about the statement that Warrior had no talent, that’s objectively wrong because Warrior was one of the most popular...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    It’s an opinion that is bias and not found in reality.

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    I’m being a contrarian yet you’re saying Ultimate Warrior had no talent despite being one of the biggest draws in wrestling... which is a contrarian thing to say. So for that Beaky Buzzard style trolling I’m reporting this post. And I never said Brock Lesnar wasn’t over, I said he wasn’t over...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    His promos were memorable and beloved, his characters was awesome, and don’t even try to bring up workrate because it’s irrelevant, you’re in a niche minority who favors workrate over storyline and character. Warrior is one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. Workrate is...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    I did answer. He got over, you need talent to do that. False premise about him having no talent. Warrior had more talent than every single wrestler today. Ultimate Warrior was talented. There’s no way around that.

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    Warrior was over then got belts... he got the belt because he was over. Compare Kurt Angle to Brock Lesnar, two a half years apart, two different eras, one was over, one wasn’t. Kurt Angle debuts as a heel in November of 1999 following weeks of vignettes, the more promos he cuts and the more...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    His forced excitement at the smallest of things that shouldn’t even garner a reaction and constant abuse of “mamma mia” isn’t good commentary. This idea that’s been around since about 2002 on how by pretending or saying something is good gets it over needs to go. The title doesn’t get someone...

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    Thing was smarks did like him, and since WWE caters to them he got promoted. Same thing happened with Mauro Ranallo.

    The problem with Commentary in wrestling

    The problem mostly lies in the play by play. There are glaring problems In both AEW and WWE. 1. Play by Play commentators try to document every single move. If you watch any era prior to the modern era, they would sometimes let moves pass and talk about the story. They keep trying to hit their...
