Damn, it's a real shame we don't see Matt Morgan anymore. What did he peak at: midcard JttS?

Thanks to hatch, who is clueless of the business, we will only see Indy shit until wwe eventually dies

No way you're 18+. Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Y2J, Bret Hart, etc. It shouldn't matter how big you are, what should matter is in ring ability.

The best era of wrestling was coked out, roided out body builders screaming nonsense at each other.

We can never go back.

How big is AJ? Isnt he around 230? Either way it doesn't matter if you're a "real man" if you have no skill and can't cut a promo. Otherwise, Khali would've been considered the GOAT.

Goddamn. Vince McMahon destroyed wrestling and wrestling fans.

Which is bullshit. In the big leagues, wrestling is the least important part of pro wrestling. If you don't have charisma you aren't shit. That comes from being able to emote well, cut good promos, and having the look. Case in point, dead silence every time samy zayn comes out

That explain it for you?

They banned steroids and similar and all the new big guys don't even lift, see Roman, Big Cass, Boring Corbin

They are all embarassing, cringeworthy and smaller guys have more charisma and muscles than them.

>>1895768

i want to see guys like Cage, Matanza, Mil Muertes, EC3, Lashley, Ryback, Lesnar, Cena, Rusev, Batista.

>>1895794

the smaller guys don't have more charisma... no one on the entire roster has charisma. except jeriGOAT and Cena. the rest belong at county fairs and high school gyms.

>>1895107
Because they're pushing all the shit big guys who either have no talent in the ring or are so old now they can barely move, and therefore have a natural ceiling because no one would care about watching a world title match with people like Strowman or Old Kane in it.

If they pushed guys like Harper instead you'd have your big guy champ and people would love it.

Haha holy shit. I have been to live shows. Clearly you haven't, since Sami always gets a pop and people always sing along to his music. How fucking butthurt can you get about a midcard wrestler that's getting jobbed out to Braun Strowmen of all things, that you're grasping this hard to pretend he doesn't get a pop. "T-they're just pushing him super hard and piping in cheers". Yeah man, they sure are pushing Sami fucking Zayn. Holy shit.

You could have just said "hurrdurr his music is over not him" and it would be cliche trash, but at least you wouldn't look this fucking sad. Holy fuck.

Hi Rami!

>>1896266

>he still doesn't get it

I want good characters. I don't care about technical wrestling or work rate or any of that shit. Give me a storyline that's worth watching, doesnt insult my intelligence and pays off in the end. The characters have to be believable. They aren't believable if they look like the average fan could beat them up.

>>1896984

Nobody believes in the manlet = unbelieveable anymore. Time to move on

>i want to see guys like Cage, Matanza, Mil Muertes, EC3, Lashley, Ryback, Lesnar, Cena, Rusev, Batista.

But everyone there, except The Ryback, Lesnar, and maybe Batista, are pretty good workers. Or REALLY good workers.

Also, I'm pretty sure Matanza is 6' tall, if that. He just looks tall in LU because pretty much everyone else is 5'8''. Texano was noticeably taller than him. He IS legit strong as fuck though.

>>1895336

Speaking of 300 pounders, Bray is one that is actually pretty mobile and well rounded.

>>1896984

>Give me a storyline that's worth watching, doesnt insult my intelligence and pays off in the end. The characters have to be believable.

Goddamnit, you fucking idiot.

First of all, this has less to do with the "look" of wrestlers and more to do with the absolute incompetence of WWE Creative and Vince. LU manages to do all of that with guys who are generally relatively small (though they do have a few bruisers).

Secondly, being able to WORK is integral to telling a story through pro wrestling, you fucking dipshit. A GOOD worker, with at least some general athleticism, will work a match in a way that enhances and sells the storyline of the whole angle (provided, at least, that they have adequate time and Vince and buttfucking Dunn aren't backstage, yelling in the ref's ear, and micromanaging the whole affair right down the shitter). Brawn Strowman is big and clumsy and can't do any of that.

I just don't understand why you all care about height so much.. Is this a meme or something? Am I being worked?

It warms my heart to know that manlets who work hard and do their best and get lucky and booked well can be among the best wrestlers in the business, if not the best. You have the obvious classic examples like Eddie Guerrero, but guys like Daniel Bryan were excellent as well.

Pic related is one of my favorite wrestlers at the moment. Only 5'7 but he's insanely good.
