Yeah I'm not really into the bucks either.I'm really pissed that Bucks match was one of my few exposures to the Lucha Bros because I just find the Bucks spots awful. It's that style of wrestling that requires you to just stand there and take all of your opponent's stuff, no story, no selling. There's a double sharpshooter spot that would make The Rock cringe at its execution. My main familiarity with the Bucks was that they do a lot of superkicks, have a move named after Meltzer, and have long matches I need to FF on Wrestle Kingdoms.
I don't get the whole deal with them other than that they look obnoxious, flip a lot, and are really good at selling t-shirts. Their spots aren't even state of the art for that style in an era where you can see Ricochet on Monday Night Raw. Can they also turn the fucking ring mic down during their matches? The tumbling and rolling sounds get very tiresome.
I haven't kept up with much non WWE wrestling over the last five or six years and I had heard so much about The Lucha Bros. I'll need to find some other stuff of theirs to watch.
It's really time for Ring of Honor to call it a day. It's obvious Sinclair doesn't want to invest in them and AEW is going to snatch up all of their partnerships if they haven't already. I can't imagine they're profitable at this point and they're not even really producing talent that the WWE would be interested in. With MLW and lots of other up and coming small leagues I don't see the point in ROH continuing in this sad state. Somewhere Xavier is smirking at the idea of Matt Taven World Champion.
I'm not big on AEW so far but I actually was surprised by Hangman Page. He seems to have an "It" factor a lot of their roster is lacking and I want to see more of him. I agree this spot is too soon and building a world title challenger in a pre show match is bass ackwards at best. Maybe the idea was more people would see him if it was a free match? I think they got taken for a loop by Pac pulling a "That doesn't work for me brother" over the ever prestigious Dragon's Gate belt as if this was still 2008.
AEW are selling on their brand and loyalty more than anything else right now. It's not the actual matchups that are drawing, it's the hype/FOMO marketing. I agree completely about Marvez, dump him and get the mask off Excalibur. That mask looks so indyish on a major broadcast. Ross/Excalibur work well together and fans vastly prefer a two man booth.
As for Lucha Bros I've probably linked some good stuff they've done in earlier posts. I'll try digging around after I get home from work and off my data plan
) is apparently feuding with Angel o Demonio, best known for almost shoot killing a guy by chucking a brick at his head during a match.
