      Distane 83 not when it's always "oh Ricky and Bobby blah blah midnight Express blah blah" he can't say modern wrestling is good cuz it kills his gimmick. When I'd rather watch omega vs Okada a million more times then Stan lanes fake as fuck looking karate bs he used.

    I agree with Jim about Gargano main eventing WrestleMania. He needs to work on his aggressiveness and his verbal effort if he wants to achieve that goal. I wouldn't say it would never happen but right now, Gargano is nowhere near that.

    How important are facial expressions to something like a luchador
    Obviously you can emote with the eyes and mouth, but how much really should be expected.
    Is it part of that same tradition to teach facial expressions?

      The thing about lucha is it relies more heavily on physical expression than facial expression. Only very few luchadors like rey mysterio can sell emotion at a high level even with a mask. Another reason why the style is so different is the rings in Mexico. Mexican rings tend to be way stiffer, so it's generally less physically damaging to dive out of the ring and be caught than take too many bumps.

    Im appalled that lucha libre mexican wrestling is never mentioned whenever ppl speak about great wrestling. We literally got eddie guerrero,rey mysterio,mil mascaras, lita trained in mexico b4 going to wwe, andrade cien almas, modern day new sincara,kalisto alberto del rio for example. Sure you have to know spanish since that racist canadian vampiro on commentary will sabotage anything that has to do with mexicos wrestling and matt striker is just horrible on commentary. The spanish commentary is on point tho, no1 can match jr but the spanish team on cmll is pretty damn good in putting their emotions into the commentary like jr did when going "by gawd lawler we got ourselves an old fashion brawl ,hes getting beat worse than a government mule😱"

    • @pearcemark2
      @pearcemark2 Před 4 lety +5

      Nobody likes lucha because it doesn't make any sense. American wrestling is characters and stories, japanese wrestling is hard hitting with big bumps, european wrestling is a lot of technical matwork, everyone brought something good to the table. Lucha......they had midgets and masks and guys dressed as women, doing weird silly arm drags and flippy shit, and their matches don't have any rhyme or reason or semblance of reality involved in the work.
      I was listening to Stone Cold interview Ricochet and he asked him about the psychology of working a lucha style match and he basically was like "Uh.....yeah, that's hard. Like, I don't even know." And this is a dude who works those kinds of matches regularly. If he can't tell me the concept behind it, who the hell can?

      @pearcemark2 Před 4 lety +4

      @@btmz1753 Of course american entertainment is the best, it's consumed by the entire world en masse. And the goal of any entertainer worth a damn is to make it big in america and play arenas in Vegas, LA, New York, Chicago, etc. Actors want to work in Hollywood. Boxers want to fight at Madison Square Garden. If you're known in america, you're known all over the planet. Nobody who's successful in america is going "Yeah, I just sold out the Staples Center, but I'm still trying to reach my big goal: do a show in Caracas!"
      Any spanish language programming in america is going to garner success because that's the de facto second language. If you live in america and for some reason don't know english, there's an extremely high probability that your primary language is spanish, and if you do know english, the most useful second language to learn would be spanish. It's a numbers game. That's like if for some strange reason there was a gigantic pocket of Scottish people living in Vietnam. Of course your top programs would be whatever the Scottish programming is, because that's ALL that huge pocket of people would consume. Again, it speaks nothing of the actual quality.
      You don't look at a 105 year old woman and go "Man she's been fucking for 85 years. She's gonna fuck me better than that hot 19 year old!". Amount of time something's been around doesn't indicate quality, negro.
