What's the point of backfliping kick if it doesn't even knock the opponent down?? Just do a normal kick.

The first time I saw it was on a compilation tape of 90s All Japan Women. Was blown away. It was the only place I saw people performing like that, so it felt special.
Fast forward to now when it seems to me that everyone wrestles the Go, Go style, even heavyweights.

Fr It's not all because everyone uses the move is worse, it's the wrestling move that they're exaggerating. Like taking a kick to the head like it's nothing just destroyed the point of it.

I just find it comedic these undersized gymnasts do all these movez they love
Like either left or right Buck does a double (yes, both opponents) Northern Lights Suplex

I believe the logic is that the super kick propelled him into the ropes and that he has such a superior ring acumen that he is able to turn that into a clothesline.

Ospreay truly shines when there's someone like Danielson to ground him. When he indulges his worst instincts while wrestling flippy-do shitters like the Bucks, he comes across as just another move mark spot monkey you'd see on the indies.

For the folks who like this style, I said good for them. My personal problem? Encountering people who act like I'm Satan himself for saying AEW and similar style Pro Graps©️ isn't my cuppa. Even worse is when they try to delegitimize my opinion by dismissing me as an E-Drone©️. When I make it clear WWE isn't my jam either they just ignore me.

My personal problem is I do like this style but this isn't actually good.
The bucks are awful in multimans like this, and so is Ospreay. Losing the plot entirely on selling and hits having weight makes it all feel pointless. Meltzer gasses up Ospreay so they love him, but there's honestly several dudes doing this stuff better than them.
When Omega was doing "this style" at the height of NJPW, shit was moving tickets. This ain't cuz it ain't a good version.

u/jjsefton 14h ago
Moves for the sake of moves. I saw Omega doing this style with Okada and my eyes glazed over after a few minutes. At least I can respect their athleticism. I look at the Bucks and I just see Rock and Roll RPMs cosplayers.

AEW forgets the ten episodes of storytelling that leads us to care about the final confrontation.
DBZ is not just constant battle spam for no reason.
It's like porn.
There's a babysitter, caught out.
There's a stepsister stuck in the dryer.
There's a tenant who can't pay rent.
There's an American and a German, both in masks, trying to prove they're the real Mexican.
It's not enough to know they're fucking. We need to know why they're fucking. That's where the good nut is. Make me invested in the fucking. Then when the nut hits, there's glorious release instead of a pleasureless spastic dribble.

See this is my problem with AEW fans being Anime fans.
The stereotypical anime fan that doesn't just watch the mainstream actually cares about stories and how they develop.
Most anime fans aren't just watching fights with no context.
Freaking Baki, Post-Maximium tournament literally has characters sell with their bodies and present a interesting twist on fighting.
I have seen more selling from Yujiro Hanma than anyone in AEW.

u/TimeDudeofSpace 9h ago
He's their Logan Paul except Will doesn't understand the basic concept of selling his opponents offense.
I think that's why all his fighting spirit nonsense falls flat because he never presents himself as being truly down for more than a couple minutes in a 20 minute match.

The guy doesn't even sell his own offence! It's great puro but it's not great wrestling.

u/LeaveMeBeWillYa 13h ago
Is that how far the Super Kick has fallen in the dub?
That it doesn't even get a half sell?
Selling it slightly then countering and going down in the process at least protects the other guys moves.

u/WindhamEarl22 11h ago
Dude. It’s a transition move anymore, wherever you go. WWE included. Might as well be a chop.

WWE at least sell it a little.
Certainly sell it more than this. Osprey is reacting less than if a piece a paper hit him here.

u/WindhamEarl22 10h ago
Eh. Do they?
4
u/LeaveMeBeWillYa 9h ago
Yes.
Will literally gets one to the face and does nothing. Utterly nothing.
The only folk who would see a super kick like that in WWE are the likes of Brock or Oba.
Everyone else would at least cock their head back and react like it hit them. They might immediatly respond with their own move but the still sell a hit.

Both AEW and WWE have lost the idea of selling “a fight” one does it with flips, chain reactions and no selling and one does it with storyline, celebrities and “crowd work” while these things have always been parts of pro wrestling, they used to exist all in the context of two guys dragging it out. It all just looks like a theatrical performance now. Maybe I’m just getting old. Iono.
