The “work” in modern wrestling is that it requires a high level of skill that the “top guys” have mastered. Theyre literally fake fighting. You just have to be willing to surely destroy your body in pursuit of something stupid.

How can some wrestling fans NOT see how badly executed this shit is? I'm pretty sure music fans can tell when a singer is out of tune or when some drummer is playing off-beat. This is exactly that. A technical error on the most basic level. How anyone can consider these two "good" wrestlers is beyond me.

Meltzer rated this 5 and a half stars out of 5. As if to say it's up here among the greatest matches of all time, it's beyond perfect, it's not just good but adds that extra bit of sauce that makes it amazing. One must truly wonder what goes on inside the mind of someone who sees this and rates it that way, as well as the droves of people who take this man's opinions seriously.

Modern wrestling fans are some of the least discerning consumers of all time. Young Bucks matches are beloved among them but they're executionally some of the worst wrestlers I've seen. Same goes for Cole, and Garganus, and even most luchas just do all their shit at a poor quality.

When people say it's a "style" difference now versus the past, it's not. Modern wrestling is just sloppy, lazy and full of botches. You need to execute something consistently and correctly for it to be called a style.

The "popularity" of Adam Cole absolutely baffles me. I mean look at him. He's even less athletic than CM Punk. His physique is terrible. He's literally skinnyfat. It's not a good thing when you're getting body mogged by the fucking Young Bucks. He's a half decent talker but all of his promos are generic and interchangeable. I'm not going to get into the promo he cut on MJF recently but it was probably the faggiest, whiniest shit I've ever heard coming from a dude who's supposed to be a babyface. He doesn't even have a gimmick. He's Adam Cole Bay Bay™ and that's his whole character. When it comes down to it, the only argument that Adam Cole fans can cite in support of him being booked as a main eventer everywhere he goes is that "he's such a nice guy". As utterly pathetic as that argument is, it doesn't hold water either because they're basing this assessment of him on his twitch streams. The same twitch streams where be puts on a phony nice guy persona to encourage the marks to subscribe/donate to him and supplement his income. "He's such a nice guy" translates to "I paid him 20 dollars to read out my name on stream and he actually did it".

the way he jumps off the ropes with his stiff legs looks so gay. It's also pointless to transition into that move. Are we supposed to think that the other guy doesn't do all the work or is it supposed to be Adam Cole reversing a move?

This shit started in Japan where fucking Meltzer gave every match 5*. And for some reason the IWC takes his world as gospel, including the wrestlers (because lets be honest, wrestlers these days are marks too) so they started doing these types of spots on every fucking show.
