Never was an ECW fan aka never wanted untrained morons to do crazy, pointless shit.
I didn't want them to kill each other. I wanted them to be more innovative, do new stuff. I'm not asking for a 1080 splash, I just wanted to see more creative spots. What we saw was too basic for a TLC match.
Once again - Storytelling, pacing, booking - good. Spots - Wat too basic.

Except I'm not one of those fans. Read and, most importantly, think before turning your fanboy rage mode on. |

Wasn't calling you an ECW fan. I was claiming that you are doing exactly what those fans did. Asking for too much.
Didn't realize a chokeslam on a chair or crushing Danielson's head into a chair via Blackout was basic. Not enough contrived 'climb a ladder and crash through a table' spots that have been done before, apparently.

The chokeslam was an ok spot I thought. Also, the crowd didnt get the Blackout spot AT ALL.
And don't be mad at me if "OMG HES GOING FOR THE PHOENIX SPLASH" was going through ALMOST every indy fan's mind (at least according to twitter), when Black was climbing that ladder at the end. I'm not saying he needed to do that. All I'm saying is - Many expected him to do that and were ready to give the match extra 1/2 just for that. Cynical? Probably. But that's just the way it is. |

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Yeah, that's pretty bad. People on twitter assumed the most outlandish, dangerous spot ever so that makes the other spots that were done well and in good fashion weak.
Oh my.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Um. I don't think I ever called those spots weak. Good, not great. ****, not ****1/2+.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Weak. Basic. What's the difference? Nothing.
My point stands.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
Spots in the match were great. Whole thing felt like a huge brawl or a fight, and not a prop fest with huge spots for the sake of it. There's one spot where Ryback literally just throws himself onto Reigns and they go crashing into all the equipment, table, ladder and chairs and it looked unplanned, it looked like Ryback was legit trying to hurt Reigns. A spot like that says so much more than a bunch of table spots or ladder dives.

The difference is kinda obvious here.
People are just explaining why it was a great (not weak, not bad) but not a perfect match, give it the exact same rating (**** or ****1/4) but actually explain why it's not a ****1/2+ match and get blasted for it. Jesus Christ. |
