There's no way a guy who knows as much about wrestling history as he does actually believes this. It's just that in the past the boys didn't let him into their circle like the Elite do now and he likes being their friend.

Today's generation are much more talented athletically and much less talented in every other way. But Dave is a mark for twinks doing flips, so he thinks it's great.

Juggling isn't something that's a work that's presented as real.

I don't understand how this faggot looks at wrestling. No shit the guys today are more athletically gifted, that's the type being hired. However that doesn't mean wrestling in general is better off for it. Wrestling is supposed to be about stories and characters. Not how many flips you can do. This faggot needs to kill himself immediately.

Everyone now wrestles like 2002 Special K, but at least when they botched it was their gimmick that they were on drugs.

Meltzer wasn't watching a lot of wrestling at that time, he was trying and failing to be an MMA journalist.

Wrestling is a circus
There are clowns, jesters, tightrope walkers, acrobats, death defying stuntmen, Occult/magic, Giants, and Midgets.
Death match workers are our hot coal walkers/sword eaters. There are strong men, beast men, and the cute assistants.

A female contortionist would probably be big. there aren’t that many if any in wrestling. We are also missing the Siamese twin act, instead there are just twins. There also needs to be an Animal act somewhere but I’m sure any company that tries would be caught with an abuse charge. There aren’t any more Damiens.

When Meltzer reviewed this match, he didn't mention this botch at all. He just said Top Flight were "amazing". I'm not even sure he watches this shit half the time.

A botch doesn’t kill an entire match. They happen.
Ibushi backflipped right on his head and still put on a great match.

The issue isnt that people dont do everything perfect every time, its that botches in the modern style make you stare at the cooperation right in the face. It doesn't look like someone fucked up a wrestling maneuver and paid for it, it looks like two gymnasts fucked up their routine and awkwardly try to pretend it didnt happen

How is juggling ever a comparison for use in an anology to wrestling. If he compared it to acting, fine, but not juggling. Where are these old timey jugglers who are pissed at modern jugglers for not making juggling look real?

Anyone who watches wrestling from 30+ years and can’t see tons of cooperation and botches and silly shit is delusional.

As someone who mainly watches wrestling from 30+ years ago and the occasional dynamite I disagree. It’s way more frequent now and they don’t even bother covering it up.
This is what happens when all the wrestlers and fans grew up with participation trophies. The wrestlers expect get cheered for trying and failing a spot and the modern fan is happy to oblige.

Why would it be. At no point was juggling something people thought was real when it actually wasnt and now people think its fake and the people doing it accentuate the fakeness
