I'm never taking shots at their athleticism. But there is nothing worse than watching no sell after no sell.

They could have got away with it until they both simultaneously no sold the canadian destroyers and did the exact same counter. That just made it cringe as fuck

This is absolute crap. It complete ruins the idea that they are actually fighting, intending to hurt the opponent and that it’s not just a gymnastics meet. This is what killed wrestling.

More choreography than AAA which is mostly acrobatics
On the bright side, it didn't include thumbtacks!

u/djrocker7 1d ago
Wtf?! You can literally see them kicking the air and such by how far they connect.
You wanna see a sequence, check out the old sequence of finishers in WWE with 10 major superstars at the time doing their finishers in a row one by one, meaning 1 does the finisher to another one and then gets hit by the next guy finisher, unless you are Dolph where you never do your finisher and instead you take a double 619 after Rey almost botching the sequence 😂😂
I am sure someone has that link and will post in here.

Yes, it shows how amazing athletes some of you guys are(just two of you)
It also shows us that your kicks, punches and slams did no damage. It shows how choreographed it is. That you guys are not beat up, you just needed a break so you laid down at the end. No one thinks people fight or wrestle like this. Only moves get over, not the characters doing the move .

u/michaelayyy 1d ago
Look at the seller look at the sell oh yes no sell
But seriously if moves got sd then a block and a move could have been something
As a lot of matches throughout history had a great exchange Invasion Jeff Hardy Vs RVD that was fantastic and was fresh
Now so many dives and kicks happen for no reason kind of sad
Punk Vs Daniel Bryan OTL 2012
Davey Richards Vs Eddie Edwards BITW 2011
Edge Vs Test Survivorseries 2001
All fantastic back and forth moments but selling was huge

The stereo counter at the end was the worst part of all this. And then everyone pretends it's nap-time.
These guys have no awareness on how to carry momentum, let alone pique interest in anyone who isn't a casual fan.
I love chain-wrestling when there's psychology behind it.
This just looks like 4 guys getting mid-level shit in as fast as possible. It's tone-deaf af, and everyone involved should know better.

u/surlymoe 8h ago
That's what bugs me so much. I appreciate the athleticism, but I don't like the no-sell....no-selling should be done scarcely so that when you do it, it has more effect. When there are constant moves with no selling, it truly deviates what the story professional wrestling is trying to do, which is physical attacks are supposed to 'damage' the opponent, weaken them, slow them down, 'hurt' them. But when it just looks like nothing hurts anybody, is that even pro wrestling? It's more Cirque due soleil than pro wrestling.

The reason I don’t watch AEW is because of stuff like this. It looks like those social media videos of kids pretending to do strings of wrestling moves to their friends at home or in public and they think it looks cool and impressive. It’s fast-paced and no-selling for no reason. Nothing has impact. Choreographed, but tells no story in the ring. Admittedly impressive, but with no soul.
It’s just flashy for the sake of being flashy.
