MillionDollarMan Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Evie from New Zealand is the best female worker in the world. I think if more people knew her, they'd be into her work, and I may be engaging in a bit of hyperbole, but she's severely underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Maybe because Prince Puma is a character and Ricochet doesn't have much personality. I personally like Ricochet more, specifically because I don't watch Lucha Underground. You don't like luchadores,Lucha style or the tv show itself? Just curious why you don't watch it.

WWE TNA PWG ROH(barely) NJPW AAW PROGRESS ICW Rev Pro CZW(sometimes) Pretty sure I'm missing some but yeah, those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy. Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Missing some? God damn. Surprised you don't watch EVOLVE. I heard it was like PWG lite though. I got one: Osplay vs KUSHIDA was my MOTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think they're worth the hype. Kenny Omega, on the otherhand...dude is a legend. I think they're great, and their smart businessmen who capitalize off the niche market that is Indy wrestling. But I have grown a bit bored of them because they're *censored*ing everywhere you look and it's "Bullet Club this Bullet Club that" still after all these years. But I still love them. I'm just not afraid to boo them if their heels, so I guess you can say I'm getting worked. One thing that does bug me though even though this IS professional wrestling is when you see them matched up against bigger dudes like War Machine, etc on ROH and easily able to kick anyone's ass. It's a bit much sometimes, because even though this isn't real, they ARE still two scrawny little dudes with frills at the end of their tights. But I can't hate on them, just saying their aura in ROH is a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not as actually small as you think I remember listening to a "Talk'n shop" podcast where Karl Anderson and the Bucks were laughing at the fact Anderson was considered a heavyweight when Nick was the same size as him and Matt was taller!

Shadow102008 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I can't stand the Bullet Club and the rabid fan base. The wrestlers in the BC are great but the club in itself is stale. Bullet Club shirts have become the nWo shirts of Indy shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy. Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 That is true. It's crazy how the merchandise has taken a life of its own and made them pop culture icons. I own a ton of BC and I could care less about the group as a whole in wrestling anymore. It looks cool and I'd say casuals agree too. In fact, most people wouldn't know it's wrestling merch unless you told them. I'd go as far as to say without their merch, they'd have fizzled out long ago and wouldn't gotten as big.

Generations Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 NJPW has too many tag matches where people get grabbed in waistlocks on the apron and can't break up the pin. It's to the point now where it just completely takes me out of the match when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Zombie Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I feel like the recent interest WWE has taken in indie promotions will ultimately end in bad things for wrestling as a whole, similar to how when Vince raided the territories and effectively killed any competition/alternatives.

Nope. Wrestling is actually at its best when everyone works together. And as for the bold...it never happened. WWE never "killed" any alternatives...in fact, they tried to save a few of them, and they eventually bought out a few failing ones. WCW and ECW were already dead when WWE "killed" them...and WWE is the only reason why ECW survived as long as it did. Also on the list of promotions that WWE directly helped: FCW, OVW, Evolve, ROH, ICW, Progress, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
