The most mobile moves in fighting games look the most powerful, and sometimes are.
They're certainly the most impressive.
These indie wrestlers grew up playing video games and "honed their craft" for a crowd of video game nerds who popped on acrobatics like that, especially if it looks like a fighting game move and is announced as a fighting game move.
The wrestlers are now doing that same shtick on Dynamite, and the crowd still pops for it so they keep doing it, and keep doing it, keep doing it, over and over and over again.
They won't stop doing it until the crowd is dead for a move like that and someone points out to them that the crowd's dead.
If AEW brings a wrestler to the show whose gimmick is hating the flippy shit and wrestles properly, Dynamite's audience will grow by 10% every show.
But such are not the politics of AEW.
