So the Young Bucks started the whole Indy High Spot match?

[MenacingMonk]

I’m reading their book. They Write about how the last straw for them to stay a tag team (Matt was thinking of quitting) was to not give a fukk and go all out in matches. No wonder they had cats

I was out of Indy Wrasslin for about a decade and when I started to watch again I noticed the change of pace in matches. I wasn’t a fan of it, but eventually I just didn’t care.

They suck.

They didnt start it, but they along with the super mark gimmick brought eyes to it and took it out of the high school gyms

Not even close. The Bucks were the first ones to get praise from Meltzer and put that style as "the best wrestling has to offer right now" though, mostly due to PWG becoming very popular in the wrestling bubble and being perceived as the promotions with the best matches in the U.S.

But superkicks, big moves, high spots and finisher spamming had been an indy staple years before the Young Bucks decided to go full indy in PWG.

They took the Backseat Boyz formula to the next level. Trent and Kashmere created this heavy tag team high spot indy style with constant assist moves.

Lucha has been about super choreographed high spots with no selling since the beginning of time

Ok, but who started it in the states? I was checking PWG until early 08 and it wasn’t as spotty as today.

I don’t recall the BSB overdoing it. It’s been so long tho.

Briscoes and Motor City Machine Guns were doing a (better) version of what the Bucks took and ran with years later, specially the Briscoes. shyt, they used to get the same praise and criticism that the Bucks get today in the mid 00's.

Can’t recall them doing it either, but I stopped watching ROH in ‘06.

Briscoes were ALL about "go go go" for like 4 years. shyt, the first match against MCMG is a classic of that style.

The two go hand in hand tho... PWG was right in Meltzer's baccyard.. he'd see them regularly. So he helped put a spotlight on all these fast pace "super fun" matches and the legions of dirt sheet followers bought in.

You can watch in real time if you listened to his pods at the time

Meltzer was actually fairly late to the party when it comes to PWG. By the time he actually started going to their shows I think some of the bigger names like Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens had already been signed

Rvd, Jerry Lynn, created the style that Trent Acid, Teddy Hart, and Amazing Red followed, and that the bucks watered down (again, domestically)

underappreciated and underrated.
