Punk getting serious stick for what looks line a match in Saudi against Cena.

Punk's rant on wrestlers taking the oil money is well remebered, if he goes through with it his haters have a king kong sized stick to whack him with. Anyone wrestler with half a brain would hammer him on it during a promo.

Drew Mcyntyre will have to be kept away from him promo wise if he goes. There's no way he doesn't mention that.

yeah, some of the characters were better then but some of the wrestling was atrocious. lads just double axe handling each other, a few irish whips. power slam if lucky then 1,2,3.

Yes, some of it was, but as Caney said, but they told stories in there.

And they FUCKING SOLD. Hogan, Macho, Hart, Flair et al always sold it like they were getting a hell of a beating before they made a miraculous fan inspired comeback.

And they told stories in there. I don't remember any high spots in the Austin Hart I quit match, but the match was a work of fucking art.

Some of the wrestler today are incredible athletes, but who are the biggest stars?

Punk, Rhodes, Mcintrye, Rollins, Roman. Not exactly the high flyers. It's still the wrestlers who tell the best stories. And yet most of the wrestlers just keep doing one high spot after another, never selling an opponents move.

bret hart has a particular disliking for anyone going through or over the ropes to the outside and being met with a safe landing

That's the problem with AEW the matches are eye catching in a big way but how can you suspend disbelief.

Big match recently where Will Osperay was tombstone piledrived onto steel steps. A minute later he's back updoing flying elaborate moves.

Nonsense.

Despite giving out about Ospray his match v Kenny Omega was uploaded and it's a great match in fairness to both

This clip, imo anyway, captured what wrestling should be.

FFS Hogan and The Rock had an all time classic at 18 where they mostly just looked at each other. They both knew how to tell a story, and work said crowd though. Rock doesn't do high flying either, but he immediately worked out that he was the heel despite being billed as the baby face.

 

[Hurricane Sterling]

The Shawn Micheals v Ric Flair retirement match too is worth a mention. Was voted match of the decade. Micheals was 42. Flair was 60! Micheals carried him in fairness but the way the 2 lads made that match tell a story was incredible.

Phenomenal bout.

Although I can't remember AEW every giving time to an Irish lad so my money will be going elsewhere.
