Just saw it, was pretty damn decent. What's this about Meltzer and Alvarez shitting on it? They said it was "a gymnastics display that was disguised as a wrestling match" and that it was heavily choreographed. "It was an athletic display, and not a wrestling match." "But the crowd liked it, and I think the crowd's gonna like anything." Which given the stuff they've heaped praise on, yeah. Meanwhile Ricochet praised them and said it was like him vs Ospreay. See, I wasn't a fan of it, much like I'm not a fan of all the other highly choreographed stuff. People like it and that's great but it's just not for me. Dave of all people criticising it though is just f***ing hilarious. |

I listened to the clip of Dave and Bryan talking about it. They had critiques but were pretty positive. That does read a lot harsher than it sounded when they said it.

Dave added that they are both incredible athletes and reminded him of Ricochet/Ospreay when they were starting out and expects them to have great futures. I don't think shitting on it is a fair summary. Just that they really don't have much music between the notes right now but can do a lot of great stuff and got over with the crowd.

Not surprising people take things out of context from Meltzer to try and pile on him. |

I feel Alvarez explained it really well. In 1998 him and Craig Proper had a match that was Vader vs HBK copied move for move. And the match sucked, not because Vader vs HBK was a bad match but because him and Craig still didn’t understand the importance of everything that happens between the awesome spots. The music between the notes, like you said |

All Alvarez and Vinny Verhei seem to want is “wrestling that feels like a fight!”
Which in its purest unchoreographed form would be pretty much just UFC 1 (not even modern UFC).
Nothing wrong with a little flip fighting now and then.

Wasn't a wrestling match. Nxt is developmental but given how business is going people will pay to sit through anything.
