You forget that every shit spot in the match means a workrate nerd gets mad tho, that's the main point. That's why they're so good
You’re right. I was hoping to at least find enough common ground with him to agree that even if the character is fantastic, he should at least be able to do a simple headlock.

You try having your favorites bashed by workrate nerds and tell me how you feel afterwards, I've put up with that crap for years!
"Oh, they're a great character but not a great worker."
For the love of God! Go watch amateur then! It's made me bitter AF.

People have shit on my favorites for years. Just defend them and go on about your day but the solution isn’t to lower your bar and except workers who aren’t seasoned enough to even competently complete a match. Like again, no one is saying that trick has to put on five star matches. He could have a good character, that resonates with the crowd and put on three star matches and that’s fine as long as he is at the end of the day, good to the point where he’s comfortable in the ring. That’s it.

And to circle back. One of my all-time favorites is Jeff Jarrett, and that man has been the meme of the IWC for decades.

In the most respectful way, I look at Ethan Page as champion in NXT 2.0 as the low rent version of Bobby Roode as champion in NXT Black & Gold. Similar workers, similar characters, similar experience, and neither are overly focused on having flashy matches - all things that kinda distinguished them from their respective peers.

Bobby Roode is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time so I will take the comparison.

Amateur Wrestling is nothing like professional wrestling. Why is it suddenly incongruous that people wanna see good matches and good stories being told? The two are not mutually exclusive, my guy.

Remember when they had that amazing talent on Raw and decided to pair him with Dolph Ziggler in the lowcard?
