How to review a Wrestling match

Er...like, just say what happened and stuff.

Pace,crowd reactions,spots, chemistry between wrestlers?

Just write down what you see.

Don't forget to repeat words 3 times.

"Suplex, Suplex, Suplex!"
"Daniel Bryan, Daniel Bryan, Dniel Bryan!"

If it's Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk: "Five Star Classic!"
It it's John Cena vs anyone but the above two: "DUD. Cena Sux".

Ask someone in the DVD thread stickied above.

Use stars.

Definitely don't use stars.

As with everything in writing, you should just throw down everything on your mind, then worry about structure and editing later. Don't edit yourself as you're writing, even if that means including cliches. Worry about tightening it up in your second draft.

Describe the action in as much or as little detail as you actually receive it. If a moment was significant to you, explain why, without saying things like "I think". Don't try to write things you think people will want to read. Just let it come out naturally.

And don't use stars.

Actually, DON'T do this. The worst kind of reviews are the ones that tell you EXACTLY what happens in the match. If you wanted to read what happens you might as well watch the match for yourself.

Write what you liked about the match, not what happened in the match.

As an addendum to my prior message, don't limit your use of stars either, and never reveal what your star-scale can go up to. If a match deserves 73 stars, do it. It's also good to arbitrarily assign many stars to poor matches, just to keep a reader on his or her toes.

Whatever you do, don't provide ANY written elaboration as to why you gave the stars.
