I never feel like, "It's just wrestling. It's fake" should mean you still shouldn't treat it as real.

I think Lance opened my eyes about it being foolish to call them FINISHERS when that doesn't even exist in real sports.

Favorite moves that have a good chance of ending the match is what I would prefer to see. That also leaves the door open for varied finishing sequences like degenerate423 suggested.

Outside of flash pins/ko's/submissions, it would be nice if folks had multiple RESPECTED ways to end a match.

I think the wrestler that did the best job of that was Paige in her first year of Main Roster. She had like 3 different finishers.

Naw I gotta disagree with Lance. I know people wanna make wrestling out to be this REAL combat sport but it's not. It's entertainment. I want to be entertained. Just like jesse the body said when macho man dropped that elbow you knew it was over(except warrior BA).

Think about how many stories could be told if finishers are protected like omega okada.

Not being real vs. Entertainment aren't mutually exclusive though.

Something can be entertaining while being presented as being legit.

It isn't a "one or the other" situation.

And when she did the PTO on top of a table it was deadlier.

Don't start. We are having a rational/civilized discussion.

AJ has the Styles Clash, Phenomenal Forearm, and the Calf Crusher, but it seems 80% of the time he wins a match with the forearm

No BA.

Update royal rumble pool?

Over the last 2 years, how often has he won with anything other than the Forearm?

This is where MLW kills the competition in tracking Finishing Rates of certain moves.

My pet peeves in today's wrestling:
Champions coming out first
No long term story telling
Finisher spam
To many multi man / women matches
Dives to the outside
Knife edge chops
To much flippy stuff
To much comedy
Championships meaning nothing
Vince Mcmahon

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Karate Man is a funny name

Need spots filled still? Add me if so.

 

[B Sox]

It’s a dude named Karate Man in TNA?

Should’ve been Nakamura’s name when he came over to WWE.

Am I rite @realest1 ?

I am simply telling you what the MAJORITY of fans want to see.

Most people want to see flips and dives.
