Pour en revenir au sujet (ou presque...), je viens de lire un article de Missy Hyatt tout à fait intéressant (d'ailleurs, c'est difficile d'imaginer que cette whorebag ait pu écrire ça) et il rejoint un peu ce qui avait été dit sur ce topic. Non-anglophones, pas de traduction pour vous, désolé. De toute façon, ça intéressera environ 3 personnes ici...enjoy!
We been having a heat wave in N.Y. over the last few days. I'm scared that the 100 degree weather might melt some of my body parts. So i been staying indoor in my air conditioned beach house. We are paying almost $4.20 per gallon, so this has limited my multiple trips to the mall. This gave me the opportunity to catch up on wrestling tapes and books.
I have been having a blast watching the WWE MSG Classics on Wednesday night. I know many fans enjoy them for the nostalgia factor. Many fans enjoy reliving wrestling from their childhood or from a time that they remember all of the angles, I never saw the WWE house shows when they aired on MSG, due to MSG not being available on my cable or I was on the road with another company. I enjoy watching the matches to see how the wrestlers interact with the crowd and what style they use on a house show.
Keep in mind you wrestle a faster and more high impact style on television. This is what hooks the fans to come to see the wrestling product live. The MSG matches are longer than the television matches that the fans normally watch. I remember WWF TV being non stop 30 second squash matches and interviews in the 80's and early 90's. Their product was more based on selling personalities. The longer matches was a bit of a surprise to me.
The house show style was very solid. The wrestlers used more psychology that was easier on the body. Keep in mind they worked 300 shows a year. You couldn't go out and do swantons, go thru tables, and dive to the floor every night. You had to know how to manipulate the crowd with mannerisms, personality, and build towards a hot finish if you wanted to survive that hectic schedule of non stop house shows, traveling, and flying.
I loved the Terry Funk [greatest wrestler ever] VS. Lanny Poffo match from a few weeks ago. Funk was able to whip the fans in to a frenzy over a 10 minute extended squash match. He even gave the perenial jobber a few moments where he looked like he could have gotten a win. I enjoyed the Randy Savage VS. Ted Dibiase- Cage Match. Dibiase was such a great heel. Savage was awesome as a face. They had a 4 star cage match with no juice, wild bumps, and weapons. They used Virgil trying to go after Elizabeth [one of a kind character that can never be duplicated] to get big time heat. The climax of the match was Savage and Dibiase fighting at the top of the cage and a fan tried stopping Virgil from interfering. Roddy Piper ruled as a baby face or heel in the 80's. Piper is one of the greatest talkers and workers in the 80's. I wished i worked with him in his prime. Luckily I met Piper last year and even took a picture with him [yes I'm still a big fan]. I saw the Jumping Bomb Angels VS. Glamour Girls match. The match blew me away in moves and psychology. That 21 year old match had me mesmerized by a group of wrestlers that I never saw before. I also enjoyed Honky Tonk Man Vs. Savage. The antics of Jimmy Hart, Honky threatening Elizabeth, and the intensity of Savage made this a awesome match.
I would recommends this show to the current wrestlers. There are tons of hidden tricks on how to get a reaction, how to build towards a finish, and psychology. I find it amazing in N.Y. on how once you get over, you can work indies forever.
