Brie dated Bryan even when he was on Team Apple.

I always thought "ring psychology" pertained to the intellectual and psychological elements (e.g. selling moves, selling "injury," etc.) hence its name. What are other people calling "psychology?" ring psychology is more about the attacker than the victim, so it's more about moves than selling. It's working one body part throughout and using that to win the match instead of focusing on something totally different

Nikki is still with Cena? I thought he dumped her?

Pretty sure it's not a workrate fetish. Do you smell something?

It depends on the school of thought, some say that a wrestler aggressively targeting a single part of an opponents body is really just repressing the sexual feelings that he has for his mother and the targeted body part is representative of the phallus. While others say that aggressively targeting a single part of an opponents body is more representative of man's eternal struggle of not knowing whether there's a reason for anything that happens and is man trying to take control and make sense of a nonsensical world. Still others say that aggressively targeting a single part of an opponents body is more representative of a wrestle being conditioned to behave in an aggressive and targeting manner. It's up for debate.

Have you seen how clean Cena's house is?? He has more workrate than any wrestler in history. His hampers told me the same thing.

But I thought there was a defensive side to it as well.

Justin's right. There's more to it simply attacking a body part etc. That's a component, but not the be all, end all.
It's about how you build your story. Virtually everything you do in the ring has to do with psychology.

You heard the man. Cena has good psychology, but horrible work rate in the traditional sense. He never remembers to sell limbs and goes from selling a move like a shot gun blast to JK IM FINE in about 3 seconds on match to match basis. Yeah. Just because a guy has matches with lots of near-falls does not mean he's a great 'worker.'

Virtually everything you do in the ring has to do with psychology. I'm sure there is more, but all Justin could really muster was "well I do a piledriver, so I'm gonna work his neck". I know it's Wrestling 101, but these videos feel middle school level.

Virtually everything you do in the ring has to do with psychology. That's what I was thinking. When you use a word as broad as "psychology" it has to carry a lot of meaning with it. Justin's right.

I know it's Wrestling 101, but these videos feel middle school level. Often, that is how wrestling has to be explained to a non-fan or a new fan. I have a friend who knows very little about wrestling right now but enjoys it. She doesn't really "get" it yet, so I sort of have to explain things in similar terms as a show progresses.

Clearly Brie has a beard fetish. Which is the real reason Bryan feuded with the Wyatts. Nikki, she's just horny as hell. Cena has to smack her with a newspaper when she tries humping his leg.

Workrate is 100% about getting the crowd sucked into the match, about doing as much as possible with as little as possible. It takes exceptional talent and charisma to get as much of a crowd reaction out of a look as another guy gets out of fifteen moves. Some guys did more on one side (HBK), some guys did more on the other (Warrior), but the only thing that matters at all is the end result.
He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he has an excellent workrate.

Hell, Daniel Bryan doesn't even have a high workrate anymore. He's become Kicky McFlyingHeadbutt in the majority of his matches, but that is the route to WWE stardom. Well if Daniel Bryan doesn't have it than it's official. I don't know what workrate is.

I bet Cena loudly calls spots when she's in bed with him
"Ok, now you turn over" "John, the neighbours can hear you"
