>>12380948>all of the matches end up being short and therefore aren't that goodLong workrate matches are gay. I saw the gates of agony do a 5 monute squash with a casual friend love, and he was like "those guys were fucking good, and the matchdidn't drag on too long." When you know who's going to win, and you do 90% of the time in wrestling if you're following a promotion, nobody wants that match to drag on for 15 to 20 minutes. 10 minutes should be the cap. We don't need 20 minute OC matches every week on AEW where we know the fucker is gonna retain. No modern booker has the balls to do upset wins anymore.
As the other anon said, Athena and Billy matches are really good. And I'll add Shibata and Dalton Castle to that list. They otherwise wouldn't be putting on kino.
