    I don't think Ric Flair will help anyone in all honesty. It's a pay cheque for him. He can barely put together a coherent sentence.

    I gave AEW a lot of leeway this summer because of All In, but that evaporated after Tony Khan's breakdown over the NXT raiting.

    Add him to the list with Arn, Jim Ross, Shafir, Schiavone, and TK himself.

    Well that's your opinion mate. I'm pretty certain many would disagree. I've seen his matches and he's been brilliant 

    You have never seen a prince Devitt match though. You have seen Fin Balor matches. A 40 year old, collecting a pay check, who still does a certain in ring things a class above Ospreay. 

    Fin in NJPW was brilliant. He has only occasionally brushed those heights in WWE. Now, Ospreay wrestles some brilliant matches too, but he also wrestles silly spot fests. He is big, and athletic. But don't mistake being able to do a saske special and a handspring back elbow for being a good wrestler. 
    Look at the Bucks, ratings poison for years now, because despite the fact they are capable of wrestling good matches, they dont, they cut bad corny promos, and they look like crap, their gimmick is crap and no one is around to say 'no'.

    @Devil-Dick Willie There's a revpro event in Portsmouth next month. Just over two hour drive. I might go. Is osprey was there I definitely would but I don't think he does much for them now.

    Apparently he has said he would consider going to wwe. Do you think he would be used well there? Or is he not big enough or mainstream enough? I really hope he doesn't. He would be a star in aew. He's one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen

     

    Well, what happens to 'great wrestlers' who don't have good mic skills? 
    Ricochet is probably the best comparison. Has had a few moments in his time, but never a real run, and is a permanent midcarder. Andrade is another one you could point to. 

    Prince Devitt, AJ Styles did better, but Ospreay isn't fit to lace eithers boots, and both are better than him on the mic (though neither are brilliant with it)

    @Devil-Dick Willie isn't revpro a feeder for new japan? Is it worth making a long journey for? I'm not worried about story telling I just wanna see good wrestling 

    The wrestling should be good, and yes, they have a great relationship. Personally I'd wait until TMDK are appearing to go to a show, but that's just me.

    I am starting to see it with Jay white now. Obviously you don't achieve what he did in Japan if you don't have something about you.

    @Devil-Dick Willie @The Palace Fan

    I have been thinking about going to a local independent wrestling show. It's a mainly south west promotion. What are the crowd like generally? For some reason I just imagine them to be a bit clicky like a local pub and not like people they haven't seen before 

    Nah I have always found wrestling crowds to be pretty reasonable. Take a friend or 2, it'll be fun.

    I remember genuinely feeling sorry for Niko, he's a nice guy caught up in a shitty world. The storytelling around him was fantastic. 

    Whereas GTA V was an unbelievable game, both Franklin and Michael are a bit 7/10 for me. Trevor was excellent, but only in how crazy he was. He didn't have the depth of Niko (or the likes of John Marston or Arthur Morgan for example).

    I'm too young to really remember earlier than that other than CJ (bit cringe looking back) and Tommy (too young to appreciate).

    He's a psychopath, people smuggler, cop killer cold blooded murderer. That's if you never did a single thing wrong and only played the missions and killed who you need to. 

  7. Claude is a mute. 
    Tommy would be my number 2 pick, funny, smartish and removed enough to be recognizably a criminal, relatabley human.
    CJ is my pick, funny, loves his family and friends, admits when he's out of his depth, is charmingly stupid, but cunning. I guess I like him because I'm poor. 
    Niko is preachy and boring, hard to empathize with his sermons and crying when I've just massacred 20 gang members for a bag of coke. 

    Of the GTA 5 characters they all kind of suck, Trevor is funny tho.

    @The Palace Fan @Devil-Dick Willie did you find you liked wrestling more after you had gone to it? I like it a lot more since i went to all in. Its like I feel more emotionally connected to it

    Interesting question. Yeah I feel like I will follow the wrestlers I saw a bit more, but the good will only goes so far. 

    The young bucks were slinging merch at the show I went to, and I spoke briefly to them. I'd still not say they were a great tag team or that they should be the first tag team to main event mania like people were saying at the time.
