August Wrasslin’ |OT| When Russo Shoots, He Shoots To Kill

people still rent porn, surprisingly

Becky Lynch has a new gimmick.

It's going AAAAAAH AAAAAH AAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAH a million times.

It's worse than the Irish bs she was doing before. Shame really, I want to like her, but whoever is coming up with these gimmicks really doesn't want anyone to enjoy watching her.

Gee, a smark wrestling crowd is given an exclusive big name wrestling show they can brag about being an alternative and then they act like entitled assholes about it?

Have we learned nothing from the impact zone?

Every wrestling crowd wishes to be this generation's ECW crowd.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
To be honest, most of the times crowds are awful and have been ever since "WHAT?" became a thing really.

Crowds these days are too busy being absolute shitheads trying to put themselves over instead of participating in the segments and shows.

What chants, CM Punk chants, Boring chants, You've still got it chants before people even do a single move, etc. etc.

Sometimes crowds are really good and fun and do a fun chant and the next week some fuckers think to themselves "oh, that was fun last week, lets do it again" and it's ALWAYS SHIT. ALWAYS.

Anyways, rant over.

*sigh*

But... Not every diva at NXT or on the current roster were models. Hell, even Del Rey is there as a trainer. So this confession just comes off as desperate and wanting to be reassured about liking Becky.

Plus, you don't have to like someone just because they were on the indie circuit at some point.

"We are awesome" chants might be the worst thing a crowd could chant. Well, maybe right below "let's go Goku," but it's close

I cringe whenever I hear it.

Holy crap people weren't kidding when they said all Spike TV cares about now is Cops. Just had a look at their schedules to see what replaced TNA on Thursday and it is just Cops or something similar to it all day and night.

"You still got it" and "Thank you (wrestler who is typically leaving)" are way worse in my opinion.

And the streamers. Ugh, the fucking streamers. Fuck you ROH. Fuck you.

What's wrong with thank you chants for wrestlers who leave? Seems like good manners and just showing respect.

It's smarky smarkness dialed up to the thousandth degree.

I agree to disagree. I think it's a chant that any wrestling fan would chant, mark or smark. Plus, we live in a time when everyone pretty much knows it's a show, so they're just showing gratitude for a guy's performance. What would be more appropriate? Just clapping and wooing?

Ask yourself this, what shows have you heard "Thank you 'random-wrestler'." at? I've never heard it at an ECW, WWE, TNA, NJPW, NXT, WCW, or NWA show.

Everyone knows "it's a show" but what grates me is the fans that act like that they need to be part of the show.

I don't have a problem with those chants. It's putting the guy over, not themselves. I don't like the dueling chants though.



ROH fans are the equivalent of 16-yr anime fans in general who want to be Japanese and dress up in maid costumes with cat ears.

I like ROH, but I was watching a show one time and in the first row was this 20 something year old guy who was going nuts. He was joined by two old people who were obviously his parents, who had the most lifeless expression on their faces.
 
Chicago was and is the GOAT crowd. Their smarking for Punk post him leaving is a little annoying but otherwise they are fantastic. They are all natural with their reactions. Nothing forced.

Someone on F4W boards pointed out the red line doesn't appear in the W even though it's clearly beneath it.

Since they make that part see-through, it obviously should be.

This will now annoy me forever
and you too, share my anguish

In-between the W's is clearly a solid black and not transparent.

No one is going to take "Sami Zayn" seriously once he gets out of NXT. Dude has the worst name and the lamest gimmick ("I'm international! Arabic words on my trunks!") in recent years.

C'mon. "Sami Zayn"? Are you serious? Dudes gonna flop harder than Sin Cara.

Of course that matters...

The problem with becky is that she has a shitty overdone gimmick. I wish whoever coming up with these gimmicks in NXT would wake up and smell the wwf new generation video tapes to see that gimmicks don't always work. For a company that's trying to do this reality era thing, they are doing it backwards with some of these bland gimmicks.

You couldn't be any more wrong. And for that matter, your witty retort shows the guy in the mask doing all the cool flippy moves. Not the Ginger Jobber.

I've seen it done for the WWE retirement segments for Henry and HBK as examples.
