>>11829835>It's genuinely better than it was.From an athletic standpoint, definitely. From more nuanced standpoints, no. Dave's just not a good critic, hence why he thinks wrestling should theoretically improve consistently and is thereby incapable of rating things in accordance with their era as a set of traits and not necessarily a hallmark of quality.
I mean, look at video games. This is a fictional medium with far less constraints than wrestling as it's technological and not operating from the basis of a human body's limitations, yet even there, critics don't rate things 11, 12 or 14/10, because they understand the value of contemporary thinking, and can still make arguments putting games from the 90s up against modern ones qualititively.
Dave's a shoot brainlet in critical matters and Austin vs Bret is a better pro wrestling match than most five star matches today.
