Every time i'm down on the Bucks for being spot monkeys, they give me a reason not to. I've definitely been where you're at, dating back to their time in ROH. I'd be like "these guys don't fukking SELL" and then i'd go to a Hammerstein show with my boys and be outta my seat clapping like "oh fukk these dudes they got me". I think I became a fan of them full stop in PWG, but eventually got back to being annoyed at the lack of selling and the constant sugar rush of spot spamming/superkicks.
And then I watched some of their NJPW stuff. Now they were still who they are, but were able to in some of the matches I saw put on some VERY good matches that had all of the things I look for. I think if they can channel their NJPW selves at some point then i'll be a happy man. I can't watch their super spot monkey versions every week. I just can't. But if they slow down just a bit, and work like their better New Japan matches, I can rock with that.
