>>7333399Another point worth mentioning is the in ring work. The trios title tournament was a fucking spot fest start to finish. I didn't care about what was happening in the ring because none of it matters when guys hit 20 fuckin moves in a row and it means nothing. People are in and out of the ring, it's all over the place and it's hard to be invested. There are some spots that are way over used. Rest assured, if there is a match with more than 2 people, somebody is fucking diving to the outside. Probably multiple times. We've seen it too many times, so it means fuck all, and repeat viewers will grow tired of seeing it. Blading is done too frequently. Especially with Mox. He needs to fuckin slow that shit down. There are some who do great in ring work. Such as:
>Danielson>Cage>Jericho>Matt Hardy>FTR>Darby Allen (who also has personality and charisma)>Jay Lethal>The Acclaimed>Swerve>Garcia>etc.Some controversial opinions, I know, but I always enjoy watching these guys. They were the first names to pop into my head.
Sometimes you'll have matches that should be main events as the first match of the card. Sometimes they're in the middle of the card. It doesn't make any logical sense to do this. From a ratings standpoint, the best and biggest draws should go last. It always worked and made sense in the past. Why try to fix what isn't broken? Also, as a final note, ring psychology is important. Very fucking important.
Spot fests in those trios matches lost viewers. That is a fact. The fact that some of these guys made it through wrestling school is baffling to me. I'm sure some of them are simply self taught. Crazy high flying acrobatic spots shouldn't be 99% of the match. They should be 5 or 10% so that when they happen, they mean something. And people better sell that shit like their life depends on it.
