Every time I watch a match with Incineroar in it, it just makes me angry. Not because of Incineroar, but because every time I watch it makes me think of how shit the booking in this promotion is.
Now, I know Machamp is popular with the kids, but god damn he isn't over with literally anyone else. He's held onto the belt for fucking forever now, and it's stifling the hell out of the other main eventers. Sure, he's technically proficient, I'm not denying that. And yeah, the Four Arms of Doom were fun for a little while. But now they're pushing this "No Guard" angle, and the only suspense is "Will Machamp last long enough to land a one-hit KO on his opponent" (spoiler alert: he will). It's just a bunch of godawful squash matches.
Meanwhile, if you look at the rest of the league, you've got guys like Incineroar (who needs the goddamn title already, he'd be great as champion), Hawlucha (hardest working 'mon in the league and he's still stuck in midcard hell because the top is reserved for goddamn Machamp), and the Hitmon stable (even if the trios division is a bit naff, they always put on a strong show).
Give us an anything goes match for the title, let Incineroar brain Machamp with a fossil so he can land the Moonsault for the pin and give Machamp a year off to learn how to sell again. Just give us a break already!
