I have never seen such sloppy ass lazy in ring work than in the Quarantine Era

[stro]

This goes for all companies working without crowds the past 4 months. All of these talents are getting real, real comfortable with not worrying about their shyt looking like trash because there's no crowd to call them on it and it will get fixed in editing.

All it takes is watching 40 seconds of any of the shows and seeing people blatantly whiff on strikes by a mile, standing around waiting for spots, clear edits to cover fukk ups. It's gonna be a real wake up call when shows are able to start running with actual fans again.

This is especially evident in NXT women's matches and Cody Rhodes/Young Bucks matches. You're watching a whole generation devolve in skills on TV every week right now. shyt is gonna be a disaster by the time fans can safely be back in the stands.


shyt is literally unwatchable right now. Even top flight guys like FTR, Lucha Bros, Keith Lee, Balor are all in the midst of this shyt.

Agreed, that FTR and Lucha Bros match was sloppy as hell

Cody Rhodes missed like his first three strikes last night too I think

 

[jackswstd]

The crowd is an integral part of the presentation whether good or bad. They feed off that energy and the feedback from the people.

Yeah that crossrhodes whiffed by like a foot and a half

 

[JerseyBoy23]

For some reason, I've never really cared about strikes since realizing they don't actually connect and are just used to transition to the next move. But even pre-pandemic on WWE's side, they were switching camera shots after every strike because of how they were delivered.

NXT women’s matches are a chore to get through lately.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I'm honestly on the verge of stop watching wrestling all together. I'm only watching AEW right now, but last night's show was terrible enough for me to consider whether or not I want to continue

Not taking any more applications

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Wrestling is a chore to get through now. shyt just too boring right now.

 

[the_FUTURE]

if I were them especially on WWE's side, I would milk this period too. Wrestling day in and day out with no off season, this is a once in a career time chance to just refresh a little.

But yeah, the edits seem to be clear, and the no crowds really have the wrestlers kinda off.

 

[MenacingMonk]

There was like only 1 or 2 spots “off” in the FTR/LB match, and they managed to make it work despite mild fukk ups. Y’all bytching about little, petty shyt.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Meh wrestling punches always been fake as he'll


... Except for Stan Hansen

 

[NoMorePie]

Yep. Especially months back when quarantine started. On a smackdown feed they accidentally showed some of the women chilling in the ring during a commercial break

 

[Novembruh]

Their hearts aren't in it. None of them want to be doing this in the midst of everything going on in this country right now. There's no way they can be. The world is a fukking mess right now and they're being put out there to get in close physical contact with someone else whose life they don't know everything about just for people's entertainment? It's fukked. I feel bad for all of them, because Vince and Tony... neither of them should be doing this right now. It shows disregard for your talent. They have the money to pay these people and let them shelter in place and tend to their families and homes. They just... aren't.
