It doesn’t. Why the fuck does the unmasked guy get up on the rope backwards apart from to clearly set up the next move they have choreographed together

Because they're actually fighting each other and not blatantly cooperating.

Because it's executed well by talented wrestlers who know what they're doing, unlike AEW flippy shit.

>Why the fuck does the unmasked guy get up on the rope backwards
Because he was setting up Rey for a brutal move but Rey fought out of it. Retard.

It's contrived but there's no excessively visible cooperation and everything logically flows into the next part

Dean Malenko might've been a vanilla midget with no charisma, but he had very high ring IQ to make spots actually make logical sense. You know it's grim when the vanilla midgets understand psychology more than modern main event guys in AEW

When you watch kino like this it really drives home the fact that modern wrestlers are actually just fans cosplaying guys from 30 years ago and doing it badly.

>hey bruv I've got a great idea for a sequence, we flip, we don't even hit each other, I mean we just flip and then at the end we do a synchronized super-flip and stare at each other for 30 seconds just to make sure people really understand that this is a fake fight and actually we like each other

What really got to me was the opening chain wrestling, they are really wrenching on those holds like it's an actual struggle, instead of holding their hands loosely and rolling around like retards like they do in AEW when they do that opening sequence

>They're actually pacing themselves instead of just doing the move, the sell of a struggle really feels neglected by a lot of these indie shitters
>guys nowadays know people are gonna glaze their crap no matter how boring or sloppy their matches are. There is no incentive to improve when an audience will just accept whatever crap you put in front of them
