What's your favorite wrestling style?

Mine: Technical, high flying and brawling.

Best technical match = AR Fox and Del Sol vs Inner City Machine Guns: PWG All Star Weekend IX

High Flying = TLC 2

Brawl = Any Vader vs Hansen match in Japan.

Hardcore.. old school Foley and Funk Japanese deathmatches.. ECW and Attitude Era hardcore matches.

I love the blood.

In what world is AR Fox and Del Sol vs ICMG a chain wrestling match? Also Chain wrestling isn't a style. Chain wrestling is the term describing the linking together of technical wrestling moves.

I love/like most styles of wrestling. Only ones I don't get into are pure lucha libre and deathmatches, and even then there are some deathmatches that I like.

I do lean towards the Japanese style, to be precise the current New Japan style which is a mix of its traditional strong style (technically based with hard and stiff strikes and kicks borrowed from martial arts) and modern pro wrestling/western wrestling. And All Japan's Kings Road style, which can produce some fantastically structured matches. Dragon Gates Lucharesu/Junior style is also fun to watch in that over the top sense.

ROH's old school style and WWE's style when done well are also much fun.

[Butters!]

Highflying and hardcore brawling.

I wouldn't call that "chain wrestling" (technical). That's high flying mainly with some technical wrestling worked in.

But the match relies too much on the four mens high flying flippy ability to be pure technical style.

I must admit that was pretty awesome.

 

[The GOAT]

I'll take just about anything over technical wrestling (except for death matches, specifically the kind of garbage that you see in CZW.) I don't mind it when it's used sparingly in certain spots, but when it becomes what the entire match is based around, then it just bores the fuck out of me. Otherwise, it's not so much the wrestling style that I prefer as it is the wrestlers themselves and the story behind the match going in. A well-built story makes any match better by default.

 

[Red Rain]

I enjoy matches where the attacks are crisp and a story is being told.
My favorite wrestler is Bret Hart. I will mute his matches and enjoy their perfection.
Mr. Perfect is my third favorite wrestler, so when you watch a Perfect/Hart match you get my precise opinion of the perfect style.

Let me be clear, Bret is a dou*** and yes he's my favorite wrestler.

I'll take just about anything over technical wrestling.

Why if I may ask? Technical matches can and often do include just as much story telling as any other type of match. Hell, sometimes even more due to the way the match is worked.

 

[Majour]

I pretty much like any style, but I guess my favourites would be high flying and strong style.

Flipping fatties are my favorites. Wrestling is about the unexpected and batshit crazy to me and what's more unexpected than a 500lb moonsault? Second choice is a stiff style mainly because of Stan Hansen and his practical blindness,there's something really pure about willing to take a shot to make the audience forget it's all an act.

Watching an old Hashimoto tag match (against ginger taker and Scott "pornstache" Hall) right now. Much stiffness. Hash was king of those hard strikes
