Cerebral Bore posted:It seems to me that his bias is that he sees late 80s and early 90s AJW as the gold standard of women's pro wrestling and apparently he doesn't think that anything he's seen since then has reached the same level, which actually is a pretty defensible point of view because the golden age of AJW was, you know, unbelievably loving good. This is correct, and why for years he said he would never institute a womens section in the Observer Awards because if a woman is good enough they'll top the mens awards and would use as his examples Manami Toyota, who won Most Outstanding Wrestler in 1995, and Ronda Rousey, who won best box office twice most valuable fighter twice and outstanding fighter. Now if you are an observant and neutral observer you might notice using those two as your examples may set up sirens in your head screaming "outliers" in that one is the greatest womens wrestler of all loving time so he set the bar of entry to women the same as essentially Ric Flair or Misawa, and the other is a pioneering groundbreaking MMA fighter whose existence was the first ever true MMA crossover star to the mainstream (before her there was some crossover, but nothing on Ronda's level until McGregor and sicne McGregor theres been no one). Thank gently caress he eventually caved on that.

Germansimp posted:Add Bryan vs KENTA to that. Kurt's smarkiest accomplishment was that he debuted in 1999 and was in the Hall of Fame by 2004. I don't think literally anyone else has had a rise that meteoric ever, and moreso because it is utterly uncontroversial that in just five years Kurt Angle was a HOF talent. Hell he was a HOF talent in the first two years.

4.75 is good for a match with such a minimal crowd. Dave probably would have went 5 with a non pandemic crowd.

In a discussion on Twitter I just described Shawn Spears as "The Hirooki Goto of Pinnacle" and I feel like that's insulting but I'm not sure which one it's insulting to.

Spears doesn’t elicit any emotion from me whatsoever but he’s a technically good wrestler so he’s closer to being Goto than BUSHI or Big Yuj

Cagematch currently has the match ranked 8.89 which is roughly a ****1/2 average, so Dave isn't even that far off from the consensus. In fact he might be slightly above it. It's well below Sasha/Bayley (9.35) and on par with Becky/Charlotte (8.87), which I doubt many people would argue with. Would anyone even be talking about this if Britt didn't make that throwaway joke on the post-match video? What a bizarre non-story. Benne fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Mar 20, 2021 |

Dave did mention he thought it would winmatch of the year and I can totally see it (even if I think Ibushi/White was a better match).
