Idiotic Notions About Wrestling By Fans

[IPEEINTHESHOWER]

We'd be liars if any of us said we weren't all guilty of most if not all of those things. And I hate anyone who will deny this!

Oh dude, we expect craziness from you.

Without it, IPITS wouldn't be IPITS.

IPEEINTHESHOWER can sleep better tonight knowing this, thanks.

Lol, seriously though, I have better things to worry about. Like what kind of sedative to use on Vickie

Oh and YOU aren't part of the problem for thread derailment LOL xD

I was just thinking if we took away "idiotic notions about wrestling by fans" and the suggestions made in this thread this would be one dull ass website.

Yeah you dont fit in this category IPITS.. We need more pictionary, jokes, and words of infinite wisdom.. There's a likability to you and what you do and most of the times I recall, you have fact to back up your opinions.. Now I will give you a Native American name, He Who Peepees Outside His Teepee When It Rains lolol. You gotta good sense of humor bro..

Just like many of the rest of them.

Indy marks who thinks that if your not a technical wrestler, your a bad wrestler.

Thank you!

Thank you!

The indy guys does have a point. I prefer good matches that can tell a story. Not the poster boys style with limited moves. For example, the IWC approves of Dolph Ziggler's wrestling. If for some shit reason he gets released and goes indy OR international, he would actually be praised because he can wrestle.

Indy guys enjoy the wrestling than the entertainment. Why do you think they hate Cena? Their answer is that he can't wrestle or he is an entertainer. They would say 5 moves doesn't make you a wrestler.

(I should have a discussion on "wrestling and entertainment" since they aren't the same.)

I don't know about you but I sure do miss the 60 minute draws wrestlers did back in Flair's prime

Y'all know I'm one of those indy marks. But sometimes though - and I touched on this briefly in the ROH thread - technical wrestling and impressive movesets just isn't enough in certain situations.

Taking Cena as an example since he was mentioned: I honestly think he is (or, at least, can sometimes be) more than a competent worker... it's just that he wrestles a totally different style of match. Say if you take a classic Cena match - say, for example, his last man standing match against Umaga - and imagine rebooking it with Mike Quackenbush or Naomichi Marufuji or someone like that in his place... it just won't work. It would be like saying The Dark Knight would be a better film if it were directed by Akira Kurosawa, although that style is completely inappropriate for the typical Batman-viewing audience.

I think what WWTNAmark was trying to get at is: being a fan of technical wrestling doesn't make you superior, it just makes you a different kind of mark.
