In some of them there was an excessive amount of finisher trading and some lax selling of big moves. Although my impression is that he got worse for that in TNA where he didn't have anyone to reign him in. Angle wasn't the first wrestler who had a tendency to trade finishers excessively or recover too quickly from big moves, but it does appear his work had an influence on the generation that followed him.Jimmi wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 10:13 am I don’t mind false finishes but when they’re done to death on Dynamite every week, it takes it away from when it happens on Pay Per Views
I’m not sure if it happens in WWE a lot, my guess is that it doesn’t
The main thing for me that is dead in modern wrestling is selling
On Dynamite this week, Will Osprey got thunder-cunted with a knee/kick to the face and he was fine about 5 seconds later
I’d like him even more if he just sold a few moves every now and then, so it’ll be interesting to see if he does against Danielson in a few weeks
The match itself would be great, not so sure about the build up because Mysterio isn’t exactly known for his promo ability
I watched a few Ospreay bouts out of interest a while back. They did very little for me.
I’ll have to go back and have a look and in his final run in 06 with WWE and then into TNA, he was collectively known as “Perc Angle”, which is why if you watch some of those TNA matches round that time, some of the shit he was doing on the shows, was because he was hyped up on painkillers
Osprey is good, really good, I thought he was going to massively overhyped, then I found myself very surprised at what he can do physically
Just wish he’d sell more, it’s not going to hurt. Fans have known for years that it’s all a work but that belief that it is still “real” needs to be maintained in the ring with selling every now and then
