That's Gotta Hoirt
Haven't Ranted about Wrestling in awhile. Course, ain't been much to Rant about. Lord knows, the WWE sucks sour frog ass, despite the presence of some of the finest talent of all time on their roster (Chris Benoit, Christian, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerro, Kurt Angle, and Matt Hardy all immediately spring to mind. I would include a number of other names, but they've all been fired or quit, so there you go.). The only true alternative for us wrestling fans that actually wanna see some wrestling (and not a freaking Vanilla Ice wannabe with a stupid ass spinning belt) is, of course, the TNA organization.
The TNA Unbreakable PPV was this last Sunday. Same complaints as always: Lame announcers, bad camera work, and Monte Brown sucks hardcore. But everything else was nuts! It's so weird to watch a PPV where I'm excited about virtually every match. Highlights included Chris "Hail" Sabin vs. Petey "Canadian Destroyer" Williams, the Canadians putting on another wrestling clinic in both singles and tag action, Sabu vs. Abyss (brutal!), and Raven vs. Rhyno (almost as brutal!). Then of course, there was the X Division Championship, which featured Christopher "The Fallen Angel/the MAN" Daniels vs. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles. HOLY FREAKING CRAP! Ah, screw being PC, HOLY FUCKING SHIT, that match was insane! You wanna see why I love wrestling so much? Watch this match! Words cannot describe how cool this match was.
Anyway, I was watching the PPV, and a thought occurs to me. In the WWE nowadays, a lot of the wrestlers use "Striking Moves" as Finishers (Glossary: A Finisher is a move a wrestler uses to end a match. For example, the classic DDT was the finisher for the legendary Jake "the Snake" Roberts, as well as guys like Raven and Tommy Dreamer. A Striking Move is a physical hit. A punch, elbow, kick, ect would be a striking move. If I kick a guy in the face and then pin him for a three count, then I have finished him with a striking move). I know this is because most of the WWE wrestlers are talentless hacks with no real ability. But I'm watching TNA, and I noticed that even the most basic striking moves in TNA hit harder than the hardest Striking Finish in the WWE. Just an observation.
