>>9745545As a new, casual, watcher with zero pre-existing bias towards any era, there are three especially egregious things in pro wrestling that make me cringe and shut it off, but mentioning them will ensure EVERYONE seethes because of at least one:
>2counts every fucking 5 secondslimit them to 3 per match and I'm still cringing when I see the second and third ones
>"running the ropes"it's not even a good rest and it's the most cringe bullshit ever, there are plenty of rope spots that don't require running back and forth bouncing off of them like a spastic while the other tard either does the same thing or "gets ready" for 15 seconds. I guess you could say the passive person gets a rest, but just have a "contest of strength" with opposed holds for a few seconds instead where you act like you're straining against each other but really are both just resting and moving slowly.
>that gay carnie cartoony kicking your legs in the air that EVERYONE HALF-ASSES ANYWAYSHoly shit how is this not considered a lethal breach of kayfabe?
Nobody responds to being hoisted in the air by waiting a few seconds, ineffectually and weakly flailing their forelegs at nothing like they have wii sports controlllers strapped to their feet or something, then abruptly stopping three seconds before they're set or thrown down. What the fuck? How has this stayed around so long? It's visual shit, pointless, creates no excitement.
