I'm Not Crazy About High Spots Just For The Sake Of High Spots

[Jabroni900]

Don't get me wrong I love watching guys fly around the ring as much as the next guy. And watching London and Kendrick going crazy on RAW was incredible,but I myself feel that they lean too much on that these days. Nobody knows how too put on a match anymore. Where it tells a story,where it pulls you in because how good it is. Where you're on the edge of your seat watching it. Like those matches Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat had back in the day. Ric Flair didn't need a shooting star press off the top rope onto the floor. All Ricky The Dragon needed was a simple chop off the top rope and a flying body press. He never gave someone a moonsault off the top rope into the crowd.

You know what match I hate more then words can describe? The Money In The Bank Match. Twenty-thirty minutes of pointless violence and people crashing into ladders. What are they doing? Why are they doing it? Nobody knows. Stacking three tables,putting four guys on top,piling two ladders on top of each other and jumping off? Wow! That is easy,anybody can do that. I would rather have two guys working their butts off trying too make a good match with pure talent then all the money in the banks,hardcore,bat wrapped in barbed wire on a pole matches combined.

^^^^ I think in some ways your right but aint you fogeting what the WWE stands for? World Wrestling Entertainment. Its called entertaining people i think high spots now and again are cool. Not all of the time though.

 

[the last gunslinger]

but you can't deny that the high spots on last nights Raw from L&K and Jeff Hardy were great....

Hardcore, TLC, Money In The Bank, and Ladder matches along with many other exist for the sole sake of one thing: VARIETY!!!

Sure, I like to see two wrestlers put on great matches with talent alone, but those kinds of matches get boring over time. So what's needed to break up the monotony? High spots and dramatic match-types. Think about the memorable moments during the late 90's and early 2000 Ladder matches with the Dudley Boyz, the Hardy Boyz, and Edge & Christian. Those had to be the best TLC matches ever in the WWE's history. It wasn't the high spots, the ladders, the tables, or the chairs, that stole the show......it was the wrestlers involed and the drama that did.

yeah great matches are good and i love to see them but high flying moves are nice to see.how some wrestlers will do anything but sometimes its just goes to far for a persons gimmick and thats what there only known for.

Ah...high spots are very efffective as long as they're not overused. I think the Money in the Bank match is fine as the WWE only does it every year at WM. It's not being overused at all.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

High Spots are required a lot in WWE. Why? Picture the John Cena vs Randy Orton feud without a gimmick match. Just singles match. And just to comment, Ric flair was in a Money in the Bank. He was in a TLC match. He has been in a LMS match, In Steel Cages. Those matches are more than needed

 

[Jabroni900]

I think you all miss my point completely.

 

[Angryphilip2]

funny how you put this in the WWE section when this is clrearly a TNA problem...

 

[Enigma22]

the MITB match was the best match at wrestlemania 23. jeff hardy stole the show like usual.

 

[Kool Aid Man]

I believe that it's good to have high spots every now and then than a spotfest. Look at ROH, they do high spots every now and then and keep a great balance of wrestling and high-flying and they are doing awesome.

If we miss your point what is your point then. The WWE need gimmick matches. For instance they wouldn't be able to keep a solid fued going if it wasn't for a bit of a change of match every time

Maybe you should read what I said properly, I didnt say all gimmick matches were horrible, as long as they make some sense and tell a story, stacking tables on top of each other and jumping off a 20ft ladder for a cheap pop and seriously injuring yourself isnt something I think wrestlers should aspire too, Jeff Hardy is a prime example, this isnt CZW.
