The only other rings I will mention are that Darby Allin's whole gimmick is that he's a goth skater and they wear faded, washed, and ripped black jeans. Those were some of my best friends in high school during the 90's, and holds true even today. He wasn't wearing jeans, though. I thought they were jeans at first glance, but he was just wearing jean shorts with black spandex tights underneath (presumably because you don't have the flexibility with jeans). Had he been wearing jeans, I wouldn't have batted an eye (although it's an impractical choice for wrestling). It reminded me of some Peter Pan shit. The Wave Master posted... The other thing is suspension of belief; in that when MJF kicks out everyone that the camera person isn't everyone, and doesn't exist at all, and that no one watches back stage segments in wrestling. It was Sammy who kicked everybody out. Had MJF asked the cameraman stay, it wouldn't have been so goofy... although I guess it would have been goofy regardless because there was no reason to make a big deal about ~~the phone~~ with the camera there. The Wave Master posted... Yes, it doesn't make any damn sense, but it's wrestling. It's not hard to do wrestling and have it make sense. It doesn't have to be an either/or. "It's wrestling" shouldn't be an excuse for shitty writing. Keep in mind that for years a similar excuse was used for cartoons, up until better-written cartoons started kicking the shit out of the poorly-written crap. The Wave Master posted... These people beat the ** out of each other every week without the law getting involved or people dying. Pretending a camera person doesn't exist isn't going to end the suspension of belief. Within the wresting universe it's as common as tables under the ring every week... why? Or a sledgehammer... Looming at you Triple H. Which is basically why extreme rules wrestling was barely seen until they broke kayfabe. The Wave Master posted... Raw and Smackdown were worse if we're looking at the whole business for critique. And believe me, I'm not going to bother watching either of those to test that theory... well, maybe I'll try Smackdown. I'm not touching Raw, though. I'm drawing a line there, even though the Hulu edit isn't nearly as long as the actual Raw. I'm honestly not sure how anybody could manage to sit through all of the American promotions on a weekly basis, let alone the international ones. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950680760] in Geekacea: ...
