Squash, I'm guessing? Hopefully followed by a quick in ring promo.
Right. I've only been watching these shows regularly for maybe a month or two since my wife only recently got me into it. And I've already noticed the trend that if they have a marquee name and says " in action" it's almost always a squash match.
Just like the other trend that a majority of the time they go picture and picture when they are out of the ring.
Yeah, great eye. The more you watch it the more predictable it becomes. But every once in a while you'll get a match where you have no clue who's going to win or how, and those moments make for great television.
BTW This place has been busier in the past. I don't know why but it's been dead the last two nights.
No worries. It's been fun wading in. I have gotten a crash course in vernacular and industry terms via my stepfather-in-law. He is a walking encyclopedia of wrestling history and is almost always up on everyone. He should have his own podcast he is so good at calling storylines and works.
We have a very active text thread during most of the shows including several other friends who watch so we are always chatting about everything from the outfits to the horrible commercials.
Sounds like your stepdad has great taste haha.
And yeah the outfits, promos, commercials are all great. The whole 'sport' is unlike anything else. I mean, in what industry does an athlete have to make/choose their costume, moveset, character, promos, sell their own tee-shirts, sometimes come up with their own storylines, and write or improvise a match? And that doesn't even include the violence lol.
