wrestling community needs to have a serious discussion about how much it sucks to watch wrestling as an art form when a large portion of live paying crowds that contribute to the experience just want to get themselves over with their irony-poisoned dogshit. it's happening way more than it should be

they went 'oh this match was so great during the last jericho ROH title run lets do it again!'

but ishii is a year plus older and slower, and learning tree jericho is by far his worst ever incarnation. they caught lightning in a bottle once and now all they're catching is just a few drops of rain

love big bobbo but this show has been a fuckin snoozefest
