I wasn't comparing them.
But no one can say with a straight face that Nash was an elite wrestler.
Yes, pro wrasslin is fake and is first and foremost ENTERTAINMENT
Wrestling is fake bro. Nash is definitely
elite. See thats what this whole debate is a about. WHAT IS WRESTLING?
Nash entertained people as a wrestler. He's an elite wrestler because he is one of the greats.
He's 7' feet tall. He did what he was supposed to do.
Thats the shyt people pay to see. They always will.
That is wrestling. Dean Malenko is not a better wrestler than Kevin Nash. Because wrestling is fake.
Ricochet is not better than Kevin Nash. Is he a better athlete?? Sure... Can he do more moves??? Sure...
But Wrestlers are entertainers. Hulk Hogan, didn't give a fukk about a headlock bro. He's the greatest. Undisputed he is Jordan, Jackson, Ali of wrestling. Racist shyt aside. Thats what I don't get about smarks with their work rate arguments and shyt.
Being a great wrestler is everything from Your Attire, to your walk, You promo's, how you play off the crowd, how you sell, all that shyt is wrestling Because it's a show.
Being good at all of that makes you an ELITE wrestler. Not flips and fake holds. Thats what this Ricochet argument is about at heart. This shyt is goofy. Wrestling is hokey as is.
But that shyt made no sense in the context of a fake fight. That was Vaders point. They have no heat, they're just in the ring flipping and not selling.
Hogan and Warrior got an emotional response from Running the ropes.
RUNNING THE ROPES!!!!! That's great wrestling. Thats great storytelling.
It's a
dikkhead somewhere saying they couldn't work. They made you forget this shyt was fake. These dude's are acting. But it felt like two god's clashed in the heavens. That's wrestling. Doesn't matter if they did one move.
To be honest the shyt is
more impressive if you can draw people in and pop the crowd from a simple backdrop.
Cesaro has
90 moves... Literally...
and
NONE of them shyt's will pop the crowd. Like a Mudhole Stomping by Stone Cold.
Cesaro is not a better worker than Steve Austin.
Nash is elite. And that Ricochet/Ospreay match was some ol bullshyt.
But if you can't actually wrestle, then how do you entertain people? If it's just mic skills why not be a regular actor?
What?
Wrestling is fake bro. They can all wrestle because they're in a ring wearing tights and...
WRESTLING!!!
Yo I hate to tell you but none of them are actually "wrestling". This is wrestling...
These dudes arent doing that. They're selling a play through emotions, mannerisms and characters. There's a bunch of ways to do that.
Did an elbow all match, guess what... great wrestler.
Charisma, Style, Stage Presence... Great Wresler as well.
Ya'll think if dudes not doing flips and twisty rollups. They can't wrestle. That shyt is so dumb.
