Stranger asks You about Pro Wrestling, what say you?

Let's say a typical and lapsed fan of WWE/WWF who knows you like pro wrestling but assumes there is only WWE, could even be a girl trying to get to know you better, asks you about this pro wrestling interest and wants to see how into it you are? What would you have to say as of right now, and would you be able to inform them of the general climate surrounding all competitive brands/companies considered? Me, personally, would have to bounce back and forth connecting 2010-2020 by having to describe the Pipebomb first and foremost, without going full shoot promo about the OG Summer of Punk in ROH and everything, and then would eventually be where we are now and have to start connecting the dots between WCW and the MNW with very little needing to be said about its end or 2002-2010 when essentially all there was to the average person was WWE. I'd try explaining ECW in the 90s and how it set the tone for all the wildness we know the Attitude Era for, and a little bit about the 70s and 80s territories and how it all got snuffed out for the monopolization to succeed until things became more spread out again, except on a global scale rather than just US territories. I would explain how unbearable things were from 2006-2010 with only John Cena going over every fan favorite there was to an obscenely oversaturated degree, and why the Pipebomb seemed like a fan's perspective on things actually mattered for a moment in time and how the "Reality Era" came to fruition following it, only for things to become too focused on a fan's reality and lead us to where we are now with real-world politics and other factors playing a role in many characters. The Silver Lining in all of that being that Women's matches are at the very least not a complete joke and they actually can put on some good matches nowadays after the industry received all the necessary criticisms. I'd explain there were plenty promotions to do it before anyways, and that there is all too much history all over the world to just sum up Pro Wrestling in an Epigram, at any capacity, but simply put, it can be a lot more in depth and interesting than people would ever assume at a glance. Although, Meltzer is the one person to handle such a mighty feat over all these years.Lastly I'd probably want to watch Dark Side of the Ring as well as some generally fun stuff with it and would have to show a good Botchamania or two.

NJPW, DG, and DDT live events are regularly streamed in the tubes, check the schedule for details.>THE MAJOR FEDS:NJPW: Oldest and largest promotion in Japan. Owned by Bushiroad and is booked by Gedo. His booking gets the tubes riled up sometimes (all the time), but the match quality generally makes up for it. In the midst of something of a revival, and although you may argue that it is already drawing to a close, they are still doing good business at the moment. They run one of the largest shows in wrestling, called Wrestle Kingdom, every year on January 4th at the fabled Tokyo Dome. Most every show they run, large and small, air in the tubes. They have a slew of foreign wrestlers on their roster right now. They also have a wonderful streaming website over at http://njpwworld.com/Dragon Gate: Almost certainly the second largest promotion in Japan. Born out of the Toryumon promotion, which was the brainchild of Ultimo Dragon, their style is a mixture of classic puro, cruiserweight/junior heavyweight sprints, and lucha libre. Stable warfare is a huge part of the promotion, with most every wrestler in the company being aligned with a unit in some way. Though it is a big promotion, they retain a grassroots feel, with wrestlers selling merch before and after shows, and running many shows out of community centers and gyms. Most of their large shows air in the tubes, and footage is also posted here. They also have a show that is filmed monthly in their little studio in Kobe called Prime Zone which is wacky, fun, and full of Mondai Ryu schemes. They recently joined the streaming bandwagon over at https://dragongate.liveDDT: Indie promotion gunning for the second-largest-in-Japan spot alongside Dragon Gate. Founded in 1997 by Sanshiro Takagi (a big Stone Cold Steve Austin fan), they have taken the western sports entertainment style to the next level with ridiculous matches and outrageous gimmicks, like violently gay wrestlers, promos done in PowerPoint before matches, championships specifically for dark matches, and blow-up dolls and ladders winning titles. Despite the goofiness, there is tons of talent there, with names like Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA, and Kenny Omega having been regulars at one point or another. They have released ddtuniverse, which is like NJPW World. A streaming site for all your DDT needs. The other companies that work alongside DDT also have their stuff on there. CyberAgent owned DDT and NOAH have merged under one corporate umbrella CyberFight and they, like NJPW have a great streaming service over at https://www.ddtpro.com/universeAJPW: Still rebuilding from the glory days of the 80s and 90s, when icons like Jumbo Tsuruta, Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada, Stan Hansen, Genichiro Tenryu, and Akira Taue loomed large. They were nearly killed after Misawa formed Pro Wrestling NOAH, taking most of the roster with him, but after a decade and a half of turmoil, they are doing fairly well right now, thanks in no small part due to the efforts of Jun Akiyama. The 80s/90s classics are a must-watch for any new puro fan, and their current product ain't bad either. They also joined the streaming sensation sweeping Japan rig… Comment too long.

Heel Authority in AEW View Thread Reply Hide [name redacted] !h55/E7mIo6 - Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:17:47 EST Qz8VAMe3 No.6430872 File: 1597220267087.jpg -(73325B / 71.61KB, 600x800) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. While a lot of people are talking about Kenny Omega turning heel on Hangman and how he works better as a heel, I was wondering if Young Bucks would turn heel and have FTR be the faces as well.If that were to happen, since it's so public that the Young Bucks and Omega are EVP's, do you think that they could even work as heels again realistically? For me, they were best as heels in PWG, but I think they'd either have to go down the heel authority figure road and book matches that way, or just ignore that they're higher up, which I think would be expecting a bit too much suspension of disbelief for the audience.Another way I could see them getting around this, is introducing Tony Khan as a face authority figure above them, but then I don't really want Khan on the show all the time either.Anyway, do you think The Elite could realistically be heels in AEW, or would they be compelled to be faces because of their EVP status? 10 posts and 1 images omitted.

It's insane the number of times guys have been over enough to be the "top guy" in the company but WWE just didn't pull the triggerIt just shows the problem with making new stars is that they're too scared to make someone who isn't chosen ahead of time a top star>Jeff Hardy 2008 (Had jobbed 3 PPV matches with HHH before eventually being given the title (triple threat where he didn't even pin HHH), he was the top merch seller and babyface on Raw at the time)>Ryback (Hell in a Cell 2012) watch the Raw before the show, he was top babyface over, the match killed his undefeated streak, anything after this would have been too late even if they didn't start jobbing him out>Braun Strawman (Crown Jewel 2018), he was the top babyface on Raw, did a lot of jobbing as a heel before this but the time seemed right hereAny more examples?DO NOT post CM Punk 2011 or Daniel Bryan 2013In both cases both guys were former world champions and had just won main events for the world title against John Cena (before dropping those titles to MITB cash ins), these are not comparable to the above who were not world champions/main eventers 57 posts and 4 images omitted.
