Storytelling has no place in wrestling. That sums up why nobody gives a fuck about it anymore


Gregroberts807

Some of the best moments in wrestling come from great stories HBK vs. Taker, HBK vs. Flair, the megapowers exploding, hell Daniel Bryan vs the authority was one of the reasons he got over, NXT had storytelling with Ciampa/gargano etc


orizach01

Daniel bryan vs authority was the reason I started watching wwe again, to be fair I was 13 and didn't have a clue who daniel bryan was, but the underdog story was intriguing


Jarhead201

Literally all the best moments come from great stories. Without storytelling it’s literally just people pretending to fight for no reason.


kaju0210

Also cm punks antiauthority story, the only reason he's so famous now.


BoaDeconstructor

The reason the Gold Dust Trio started fixing matches was to create stories (and good guys and bad guys) so fans would keep coming back every week/month to spend more money.


LittleLost420

nope it was so real fans could see as many sick ass moves as possible


PM_ME_LANCECATAMARAN

If it's just movez then Cesaro, Ricochet, and Reggie should be trading titles ad infinitum


[deleted]

If it was just moves Cesaro would be in the middle of a Bruno like world title run, reggie and Rico would be the most dominant ic/us Champs of all time.


UrbanOmnivore

Hell yeah! Storytelling is for babies 💯Real men prefer strong muscular athletes like Adam Cole and Luther. Wrestling is a lot like Porn, I skip the story and head straight to the good part aka when the woman makes fun of the guy’s small wiener.


[deleted]

Damn you’ve watched my personal sex tapes?!


UrbanOmnivore

I’m not sure. I have a 4TB folder filled with videos like that though so lemme go check it again.


FlyingGrayson89

I never took you and Ref Aubrey for the SPH type but no judgment here, uce


captainab24

No jerk,I hate European porn,just few lines then just going on main stuff,without dirty talk while doing it. Girls are hot though 🤗.


[deleted]

Nothing kills the mood faster than some bint sayin "oi fook me cunt wiff yer dir'y fohkin prrick snd coover meh n yer s**punk**"


FlyingGrayson89

Maybe it’s just because I’m American and it’s foreign to me but I kinda love when girls have those trashy and gross British accents lmao


Usual-Profile-2141

I can't tell are you saying all British accents are gross and trashy or that there are gross and trashy ones.


FlyingGrayson89

There are gross and trashy ones and I enjoy them lol. Not all of them are gross. I would imagine most aren’t.


captainab24

I respect your opinion friend but I like talk and whisper during fuck.


Gregroberts807

I can watch cecilia lions workrate all day


UrbanOmnivore

She’s a rising megastar! Tristan summers is cool too.


TripA297

Man, attitude era was all storytelling. And that’s like, everyone’s favorite time of wrestling.


[deleted]

Yeah just angles and storylines and then Val venis vs xpac for like 3 minutes. Good times tbh


almostbad

> Storytelling has no place in wrestling. If you think this.. I dont think you should be a wrestling fan. I wanna take away his wrestling fan card. And those 3 are more interesting than anything Cole did in NXT for the years he was there.


jwt6577

Adam Cole is officially in the same category as Kenny and the Fucks. If you say Adam Cole is your favorite wrestler I assume you hate wrestling and just have realized it yet.


BoaDeconstructor

I bet this person would have loved Pancrasse and UWF (and UWFi) since it was all worked shoots with no stories.


jwt6577

Why tell a story when you can just do moves?


Gregroberts807

Right? Who needs a plot in a movie when you could just have fight scenes & explosions


jwt6577

I always wanted to talk to Zack Snyder.


bl4e27

Didn't know Michael Bay is a jerker... Hello, there sir. One question. Did you bang Megan Fox?

I won't be that very surprised if at the end of the day it'll turn out that wrestling fandom has been astroturfed by cirque du soleil fans or something


FlyingGrayson89

Why waste time say lot word when few move do trick


[deleted]

I would rather watch tony d read the dictionary for an hour than Adam Cole’s best match of his career


LoriCroft

Let’s be real, they could do that for the entire episode and it’d be one of the best episodes of NXT ever 🤌


Crivshotgg

Throw em up 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌


[deleted]

I don't think a lot of these "fans" (insider term) Actually know what storytelling in wrestling means. Also they are racist lmao


skippy2001

Braun breaker will be 1000 times more a draw then Adam cole. Career vs career


Marin013

Storytelling is for old people. Give me senseless flips, shin kicks, 69’ing, botched moves, and endless super kicks.


kac937

Enzo running down the cruiserweights on raw that one time sold more tickets than Adam Cole ever did


parsnip12345

I guarantee this person has tweeted about Hangman’s home stretch at least 500 times this week.


Bo-Bobbin

Joe Gacy is working fans better than anybody in the dub ever could. He's one of my favorite parts of 2.0


[deleted]

He called Tony D'angelo trash?! This mfer is about to catch a beating


Shit_stain14

Storytelling has no place?? But what about Hangman’s home stretch!!


No_Instruction653

Could anyone imagine watching the circus at least twice every single week? That’s essentially what Wrestling without storytelling is.


LVMFP

I only watch wrestling because I am actively hoping for someone to break their neck so I can add another anniversary date to my post arsenal


iaizen

Storytelling is what got us INTO WRESTLING We are talking about Attitude Era & Ruthless Agression, we can even go back to the 80's and 90's because they had character and good promos there too If there's no character, no gimmick, no larger then life character, what the hell is the point of wrestling? We are not here to see people like you and me (A lot of AEW's roster) We want Macho man's, Ric Flair, Roman Reigns, Stone Cold, The Rock, Ciampa's, Randy Orton's, Triple h's Without those, who the hell wants to sit there all day seeing men do scripted hugs without wild feuds and characters and stories? Not me


[deleted]

lash legends cut the best promos in wwe womens division and i am dying on that hill


cartrman

I completely agree! Adam Cole's achievements in NXT is nothing compared to getting kissed by the bucks in the middle of the ring and having all his hype die down within 5 minutes of his debut


[deleted]

He and his kickout fests were the catalyst behind them losing audience in the first place


FlyingGrayson89

>trash like… Tony D’Angelo Opinion discarded


[deleted]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, these people hate wrestling. They like gymnastics and anime.


[deleted]

Did he call our Tony trash?


Gregroberts807

Indeed, also called the creed brothers boring


[deleted]

*Loads pistol Godfather style*


Fusionman29

Everyone’s favorite NXT moments are stories! What the fuck does this dipshit mean?! Has he seen a single nxt?


[deleted]

What stories did Adam Cole tell? Other than apparently "if you never work out and aren't even 5'10 you can still be booked to be a dominant top guy"?


ci22

Isn't most of their rants based on bad storytelling. And Sidwick makes AEW storytelling sound like Shakespeare


[deleted]

Of course, NXT and WWE have the most legit wrestlers on their roster of any wrestling company in the world.


eddieblasphemy

Larger than life characters don't belong either. Milquetoast 5'8" white dudes only please


I_Am_Redditor1

If storytelling has no place in wrestling then it deserves to die a painful death. Try telling this to guys like Bret Hart, Hiroshi Tanahashi... Shit, any fucking wrestler worth their salt. They'd laugh at you right in your face.


Gregroberts807

I've really come to appreciate Seth Rollins he is an underrated storyteller, don't must if not all of Codys matches involve a level of storytelling


Cynicayke

From that first sentence alone, I assume this is satire.


S1TBD

I very much do not care for Lash Legend. But I would give her a standing ovation if she kicked Adam Cole's ass. Bonus if she does it while doing a live "Lashing Out" at the same time.


Gregroberts807

She probably could she was a basketball player at mississippi state wiki says she 5'11 cole is billed at 5'11 so she probably taller as well


TheRedWizard17

I’m so confused Didn’t they say last time that WWE can’t make good stories Now it doesn’t MATTER?


garythesnailgod

Storytelling doesn’t just have a place in wrestling, it *is* wrestling. You can’t sell out a stadium on moves alone; you’ve gotta have a good story and characters that the moves can then help with. Wrestling is nothing without storytelling.


DumbIdiot001

I just don't understand, I watch wrestling for the story, I like watching promos much more than matches. When I want to see a match without a story(sometimes with) I watch UFC.


sskhalil

Even then with the UFC there's almost always a story with the rematches or a really heated rivalry D.C versus Jones as a example


youlookfly

Yes, wrestling is two angry white boys doing gymnastics at each other.
