Straight out of the book of spots

Braun / Roman is the best thing going anywhere this year. Looking forward to Roman winning the title this week and the feud continuing.
Now imagine this, but Roman didn't move an inch, looked straight into Braun's eyes and yelled ORRRRRAAAAAAA, leading to Braun doing it again, only for Roman to no sell it again.

Hahahaha. Good one

I don't count most of the Braun stuff because it didn't really happen in match, but yeah that stuff was pretty good.
Edit: This was also a spot.

You pretty much summed up why I enjoy NJPW over WWE right now. WWE has gone too far down the production route and compacting all their matches into, what feels like to me, paint by numbers spot-spot-spot type matches.
I watch the two for different reasons but try to not compare them as 1:1 as I find they're slightly different beasts

More like impression spots.
Man, that knee looks so bad. Has no sense of impact at all.
Still a billion times better than Dean's offense.
Is Dean the laziest wrestler ever?
I'm racking my brain trying to think of the last few impressive WWE spots I've seen that haven't been Randy Orton murdering a Singh Bro.
Edit: I guess this one too
Impressive to NJPW fans seems to be based on how much of a chance of killing someone happens

shoot: OT trying to make the term "milkshake duck" stick is cringe worthy. Virtually every turn of phrase had a discernible meaning at one point. The fact you can get an entry on knowyourmeme doesn't mean you're evolving the English language.

Steve Blackman was rad.
That is all.
That is all.
WWE has had plenty of impressive dangerous ass spots in recent history, with plenty of talented athletes under their employ that can wrestle on par with the best in NJPW.
But it's not about the spots themselves, it's about the reactions they get from the crowd emotions they invoke in you and results of the matches that matter. It's about how Omega getting that win over Okada made me leap from my couch and start shouting. The personal investment in the performers, which for me, is really hard to do with WWE performers because I have zero trust in the booking to do right by them.
Spots are spots, they make a cool gif, they can pop a crowd. Inventive or dangerous spots can definitely elevate a match and I enjoy them greatly. But it's what surrounds them is what matters. And there are many, many promotions doing all that stuff better than WWE right now.
