Your problem Gertner is you are very set in your ways. It has to fit YOUR idea of wrestling to be any good. Women's wrestling sucks. Vanilla midgets suck. Smart crowds suck. Internet fans suck (even though you are probably the biggest fucking internet hipster smart fan there is). Not everything is so cut and dry.
Obviously some post mania crowds are irritating (especially in the past 3 years), but some of those original ones when it was organic were fucking awesome. Think about it, this was during a time when crowds for the most part just sat on their hands and did fuck all unless it was saying "What". These fans actually reacted to stuff, and not in a way just to get themselves over, but more as a celebration of the whole mania experience. Of course, once they became self aware and WWE started marketing it, it started to stink. |

I've discovered that the older I get, the more I dislike "Smark Crowds".
At first, all those years ago, it was pretty cool/funny and they did help make some memorable moments in wrestling a little bit more memorable thanks to their reactions but now, I just want them to shut the hell up. I find myself skipping the matches of certain wrestlers now because I just know that the crowd will be ruining it for me with their chants/reactions. |

So? I disagree with most of Gertner's opinions but I like him because he just says what he likes and why, and says what he thinks sucks and why. He doesn't actively try to convince people to think like him, or tell people what they should and shouldn't like. Also, you're getting worked. Hate to break kayfabe, but Gertner likes women's wrestling. Just not today's women's wrestling. |

Lol I hate shit like Dory Funk Jr vs Jack Brisco. I can't watch stuff like that. Bores me to tears. Also, 75% of the stuff on WWF House Shows from 78-87 (the time period that I'm a fan of) is awful. I don't know how many S.D Jones vs Baron Scicluna matches I've seen but it's more than enough. It does though make the good stuff stand out more...like anything Don Muraco does.

I tried watching a 1975 MSG card on Friday and I basically just skipped to Bruno's match vs Spiros Arion after two matches and then shut it off. Not good lol

You think everyone's a dick, Dale. Maybe you should stop projecting things that annoy you onto other people? Like, people fluff up their personalities on the internet and stuff.

BTW the last part of your statement also applies to me. I'm pretty much exactly the same in real life but it's dialled up ten-fold here. People just put up with me due to my otherwise loveable nature. |

Man I watched him vs Dan Spivey, and I'll tell you... loved Muraco's style. Cowardly until he could opportunistically gain advantage making Spivey look like a million bucks. But when Spivey dropped the dime, Muraco beat the fuck out of him. It's standard psychology but some guys do it very well.

Y'all can say what you like, IMO I'm right most of the time. I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU but I don't mind getting into it because it's fun and sometimes people piss me off. Not saying it's the best way to do things but I'm likely not going to change.

Okerlund can't even deal with himself. Muraco AND Heenan pop him big time.
