I admit, I’m not into boomer wrestling but I just sit through a one hour match in this Robinson vs Inoki, something I’d never do and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t one of the best matches I’ve ever watched. Bummed there was not a winner though, I’m not fond of draws.

WWE.
I liked the difference in styles they exhibited. I also liked the tension each of them radiated as they tried to up one another. If only one of them just used a move to /HEEM/ the other as the time was going up and the ref called it a TKO, that would have been the perfect match.

Honestly, if you can "sit through" one hour of a 1975 puro match, you may just be into boomer wrestling.

Thats a really good match tho. Most of pro wrestling pre 80s is kind of boring(even in Japan), but there are always some good exceptions. To me puroresu didn't really get exciting till after Tigermask. I think the way the joshi (AJW/JWP) started wrestling in mid to late 80s also really set the pace for the faster more finisher heavy style we have today.

lol that was the norm for pro-wrestling back then. Lots of draws, lots of DQs to protect the aces and main eventers.

I figured your problem with it was more stylistic than anything, that Robinson match is fairly slow and deliberate on top of being so long which could get boring to some.

Not him but what makes a match boring or exciting are not the moves but the portrayal of struggle
Robinson and Inoki spend around an hour trading holds but it was interesting to us as an audience because they were always active. When they weren't getting out of a hold, they were trying to and when trying to get out of a hold, they were selling it. All while stablishing that while Inoki is the slightly better grapler, Robinson can always resort to his power. That's what wrestling psychology and storytelling really are and that's what makes Inoki Vs Robinson exciting despite them not bouncing off the ropes at light speed every five minutes

Most MOVESfags still apreciate a good match when it's put in front of them. For example, look at the core AEW audience, the pop and chant "holy shit" when they see whoever going through four flaming tables. Still, smarks still loved WALTER Vs Dragunov, FTR s The Briscoes, Hangman Vs Danielson
They've been educated to react to that style of flippy wrestling no differently to how back in the day fans in memphis were educated to react to a more brawl-ish style, and how when ST. Louis was run by Sam muchnik, fans reacted to sports-like wrestling. If promoters nowadays made the effort to discard the Young bucks of the world for the FTRs or the Punks or the Roman reigns or the Drew McIntyres or the Danielsons or the Eddie kingstons of the world they'd be able to move away from a style that's cancerous to not only wrestling's popularity but it's quality and be better off that way
And i'll end the novel i've written with this: People that prefer the flippyness and comedy over serious, realistic wrestling aren't real wrestling fans anyways
Oh, and also

Yes, but that majority opinion is from a fandom that's 10x smaller than twenty years ago
They are the majority because the big bunch of real wrestling fans called it quits because of the goofyness that's preferred today

I'm going to have to watch this, I meant to after the English commentary referenced it in ZSJ vs Okada. Ngl, they really worked me into wanting to see them pull off the full hour. I know Danielson already did it with Hangman but Danielson vs ZSJ would probably be the perfect match to pull something like that off with.
