there're a lot of WWE Shills on this board.

Watch anything, BUT WWE is what I'm saying

Pic very related btw

Hey sorry about the jaded wwe fans, one of which talks to himself on this board all day every day and tries to spam so many threads you only see his autist shit posting. You might like older wwe stuff (attitude era) but LU has a much different appeal than the current product. I can think of specific wrestlers you may like, but I'm still pondering what you should actively search for next...

>WWE is far and away the most popular and profitable for a reason.

Because it was good 20 years ago, and has taken advantage of distribution channels and logistical options provided by the information age.

The actual product is tedious garbage. Don't lower yourself to watching it.

90s AJPW
90s ECW
97-02 WWE
Current NJPW

Honestly check out a bunch of different shit try my slapped together guide

NJPW for wrestling (may work) quality
WWE for production value and relevancy
ROH for an alternative to wwe with slightly better wrestling (debatable) and lower production value.
CZW for carnys cutting each other open
Chikara for wacky over the top story-lines.

Mat work*

My bad

>>2640541
there isn't a wrestling company in the world right now that can match LU's level of story telling. That said, there are still some very entertaining ones. Namely, PWG, PROGRESS, and NJPW.
>>
>>2641288

When you compare ROH's weekly shows with WWE's, it's obvious that ROH is better in every way short of production values. The wrestling is better, the angles are better, the characters are better, everything is better.

The WWE PPVs can actually cut the shit and have some good wrestling on them though. When they get their more capable wrestlers together (and they have a very talented, largely wasted roster), give them 10-20 minutes, and don't bog it down with commercials and nonsense plot bullshit and just HAVE A GODDAMN MATCH, it's actually pretty good.

ROH stuff is still better, when you have the guys who understand some goddamn psychology (Chistopher Daniels, Cody, Marty Scurl, Jay Lethal to a slightly lesser extent, and some others) and are just Young Buck tier flippyshit.

ROH is better than WWE but imo ROH is still a bad promotion. They have absolutely no eye for talent whatsoever, they have no sense which of their performers have any star power and which ones are worth pushing or not, they just toss a bunch of talented guys out there and ask them to put on matches. The main event scene is far too stagnant and there's never a sense that a lower or mid-card guy can ever win the main world title because the way ROH builds stars, it takes YEARS for them to ever actually pull the trigger on a guy.
>>
>>2640541
There are some good suggestions here for where to look and what years. Also AAA is where a lot of the LU wrestlers come from, but there's a lot of questionabley cheesy matches in between anything decent so maybe avoid unless you understand Spanish.

Jeff Hardy (he's uh, not quite in the same shape now) or the Hardy Boyz from back in the day might prove easy YouTube searches for some entertaining matches. I don't know if current WWE will let anyone do some of those ladder spots anymore, some crazy shit
>>
Go watch anime and comic book movies because Cringe Underground isn't a wrestling show

I highly suggest you take a look at the talent over at the World Association of Wrestling. They are the UK's number one wrestling promotion. You can watch great matches with people like Jimmy Ocean, Steve Quintain, Ricky Knight, Sweet Saraya, Villman and more!
