Hmm funny how many pro wrestlers, particularly those who employed the crotch chop are totally okay with it and see it as an homage which it is. It's what they grew up on and got them into wrestling. We talk about wrestling being organic, and think about it, if you grew up loving the attitude era and nWo you'd be doing the too sweet wolfpack shit and suck it. It's about as organic as it gets.
They've wrestled in the tokyo dome sold out, they make tons of dough, they get big pops. You may just be a hater Fan. |

There's a difference between "stealing shit" with ambiguity, maybe adding a slightly different spin on it and making it your own and LITERALLY just copying what someone else already did in a way that leaves no question.
Like I said, I was doing the "blatantly rip off actual wrestlers" thing when I was e-fedding at 15. I knew what I was doing. "Hey, I'm just blatantly copying a wrestler I like but you see, it's not just lame and uncreative... because THAT'S the gimmick! SO META, GUYS!" It was retarded and anyone with half a brain could see right through it. I had the excuse of being 15 and not really caring much about e-fedding. The Young Bucks are actual professional wrestlers doing what teenage e-fedders and backyard wrestlers were doing in the 90's. |

But they can actually work. So therefore, it works. If they were just shitty backyarders or e-fedders, what they're doing wouldn't work at all.

You could even say they're like a band who has their own original material sprinkled in with some covers.

Is that not what they have done? I mean they are not totally ripping off DX and use the crotch chop to insult opponents. Thats about the only thing from DX that they use. I could understand if they went in to Road Dogg mode or a long HHH like promo asking if you are ready at the end and they did degenerate stuff but they dont.

Honestly, the crotch chop and 2 sweet stuff is a minor detail to me. Doesn't irk me at all.

I will agree that they aren't "killing the business" though because outside of hardcore wrestling marks who aren't going anywhere, no one will ever know who the fuck they are and the "90's backyard wrestler" shtick isn't something that has the mainstream appeal to go viral like the dick spot. The business is safe. They're just horrible.

How about not stealing it at all and trying to have an ounce of creativity? Is that not an option?

My issue with the bucks is theyre the wprst offenders of being spot monkies. They don't sell and they just do random moves until someone wins all the while ruining the superkick for the lulz

Yeah. All this talk of them just stealing taunts is distracting from the fact that their matches happen to also resemble backyard wrestling spotfests with no sign of storytelling. They even look like they're 16 still.

Remember when Scott Hall used the crotch chop during the formation of the nWo which was soon followed by the rest of the nWo, WAY before DX ever used it? Damn those DX guys and their lack of creativity.

Im sure it is but what they are doing seems to work just fine, don't see why they'd change now. Creativity is lacking in wrestling across the board and in my opinion NJPW is the best at the moment and rely more on sport than creativity.

I'll agree they can't wrestle. Best matches they've been in are ladder matches with the likes of Daniels, Kaz and the Hardy's who probably called the matches. Now I think they could do better in the ring but the crowds they wrestle in front of like their pandering to them with the nostalgic crotch chop and too sweets.

I love comedy in wrestling, but I oddly find some things to get boring quickly. Like that Joey Ryan penis stuff. I dunno. It was funny the first time or two, but now I'm just like when I see videos of it online.
Comedy spots usually tend to just get more and more ridiculous to try and top themselves, but by then it's just gotten old already or it's run it's course. |
