BOTB: Wrestling Style

Post by Earth Child » Feb 8th, '12, 16:00

What do you think is the better wrestling style? You could take this to mean what is most entertaining to watch, what style would cause most (Kayfabe) pain, degree of difficulty to master, etc.

Is it High flying acrobatics?
Grappling
Technical
Submission
Power/strong
Any others I have forgotten?


My personal favorite style of wrestling is high flying, spot fest matches. Keeps me very entertained.

Honestly, the old school technical grappling style of wrestling is the simplest style, and it's my favorite. That's what WRESTLING is. No doubt that the high flying and new generation indy-tastic style is entertaining, but a lot of it doesn't make sense (see: El Generico's Double Pumphandle Orange Crush Bomb). Pure technical wrestling has created most of the classics we talk about today. Take Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat for example. Everyone considers their matches classics, and 100% of them were pure, basic wrestling. It never fails, even in this day and age. People do so much crazy sh*t all the time, so when someone does a simple wrestling hold, the crowd goes "HOLY CRAP HE'S A WIZARD!" when really it's as basic as it gets.

I like a slower version of the indy-tastic style, with a bit more grappling and submissions and a bit less on the head-drops.

I really enjoy the clash of styles more than any one in particular, but if I had to choose one, I'd have to go with the Junior Heavyweight Style; like AJ, Dragon, Daniels, Davey, KENTA, Beniot, Malenko, Guerrero, Liger, etc. They're great bc of the range of moves they are capable of; the ppl who fit into this category are the most innovative wrestlers there's ever been.

I like a ground-based/striking style. What would be the called the "indie" style, I suppose. It's kinda MMA-esque.
