What are you talking about? Those bingohalls have some pretty hot crowds
>even most people who like this match admit in-ring it was crap
What did you even hope to accomplish OP?

50 geeks marking over workrate isn't a hot crowd.
Workrate doesn't matter one bit

>I've never watched anything outside Babby's 1st Promotion but here's my opinion
Workrate is what manlets do to pop bingo hall crowds because that's all they can do to get "over".
True superstars don't need risky spots, flips, any of that. Because they're larger than life characters that stir crowds into a frenzy with just their being in the ring.

new japan poo wrestling is gay
you forgot announcers, OP. for those not in live attendance it's crucial to have excellent commentary. it's probably the next most important thing following a hot crowd

The most important ingredients for a great match vary depending on the promotion, wrestlers, crowd, era and other factors. Trying to boil it down into one simple formula is naive at best and retardedly myopic at worst.
Of course you don't really care about what constitutes a great match, you just wanna post what you perceive to be anti-smark rhetoric.

>implying workrate = flippy shit
Flippy shit are spots. Workrate is the difference between a great wrestler and a shit one. Or, to put it in your terms, someone who can actually wrestle and a mastodon.
Because, in case you hadn't noticed, this is wrestling. The most important thing is the ability to wrestle.
