Question I Wanna Ask

Just A Quick Question I wanna Ask Would you rather watch a Wrestling Match That Is Good But Boring or a Match That Is Bad but Entertaining?

bad but entertaining deffo.

professional wrestling is a sports entertainment industry, although a good techincal match is nice to see, because it is so technical it is bound to be more boring....if I want to watch something techincal I would watch amateur wrestling

Sadly I already see where he is gonna try to go with this I think.

I would take the good wrestling match over entertainment.

Where do you see me trying to go with this?

If I had to guess Bikini matches and stuff like that.

No not at all. I just saw Natalya vs Tamina on Superstars it was a good match but Boring as hell then I watched a Rosa vs Natalya match it was bad but fun to watch.

They don't invest anytime in diva hype for promos.

Mixed in ring styles make matches better a lot of people feel.

Rosa does some good moves your suprised and entertained. Rosa botches some you expect it which makes the moves more memorable.

Nattie or Tamina botch in a match it makes it worse normally cause you don't feel they can make mistakes

Your right I really do enjoy watching the less experience Divas because you just don't know what to expect from them while the ones with more experience you don't expect them to mess up.

I think Tamina is in the middle she may not look like a diva but she is not all that good In the ring I find her boring as hell at times Shes better as a face but still she needs more work.

Tamina just sucks.

If they are professional wrestlers then their primary job would be to entertain wouldn't it?

I just feel like if they are "good" but "boring" then they aren't actually "good" then, since they aren't adapting their work to entertain the fans (which is the primary goal.) It's not like pro wrestling is MMA where wins are the most important thing with being entertaining coming second.

What I'm getting at is that I feel that a wrestler can't be "good" yet "boring" to a majority of the audience. The wrestler has to be entertaining if he or she wants to be considered "good."

Its about the Matches being Entertaing not about the superstars themselves.Lets say we get a short 2 minute Match with There no real wrestling but the match itself is Entertaing and you actually enjoyed it but then you get a 5 minute match where your not really into it I mean the action is good but not good enough to keep you watching so that match isn't Entertaing to you because you just didn't give a shit about it.You Understand what I mean?

Well that would be completely dependent on the viewer and taste. Who is to say that someone who has a deeper appreciation for the scientific elements wouldn't find the 5 minute match more entertaining than the 2 minute match?

Every match has to have a way to keep fans entertained, otherwise they tune out, and the ratings drop. The rating drop means less $ in the long run, and less $ means less jobs. It'd be in each wrestler's best interest to make their match as entertaining as possible, somehow, someway. Whether it be through brawling, pure wrestling, gimmick, or some other form... they have to connect with the audience.

I guess it makes sense I never really thought of it that way there are diffrent types of wrestling matches that many people are into some are in for the pure wrestling and some are in the entertainment side so I guess its a win win for everyone.

Funny story - two of my trainers were booked to work a match for a show from the other training school. This came at the end of a really intense 2-day training camp so they were pretty exhausted. So they didn't feel up to having a full-on wrestling match. So they ended up doing loads of comedy antics - getting the crowd to chop the heel's chest for instance. And they ended it with a sequence where they just teased loads of famous WWE finishers. They said it was the most half-assed match they'd ever had. Everyone else told them it was MOTN

For me I tend to prefer good actual wrestling. I'm not a big fan of the comedy stuff. I prefer that in backstage segments and in-ring skits as opposed to actual matches. If there's like one comedy spot in a match then that's fine but I'm not a big fan of it. But I do see where you're coming from. Aksana's matches for instance aren't exactly mat classics but she can do moves well and she herself is an entertaining performer so I look forward to watching her matches. The Bellas are likewise very sloppy in the ring but their characters are very solid. However there are some girls who are technically good but need an exciting opponent to get me invested in their matches. The only Tamina matches I actually really like (from her heel runs anyway) are her outings with Layla because Layla makes a match fun. A 2 minute match can still be good and a 5 minute match can still be bad. I really loved Eve vs Natalya for the title on Raw ages ago and that match was only three minutes but had felt longer because the action was good
