Seeing people post about how bad the Saudi card is but I literally don't know what the good option would be in the fed. I guess it'd be nice if they put on Gunther vs Regal?

So far I've watched 20 matches of my 55 years of wrestling project (in total it's 149 matches, because for 16 years I could not find a suitably highly rated match for Mexico; another 19 of those I have already previously seen and might rewatch). Out of these 20 matches I rated the highest:
Akira Taue, Jumbo Tsuruta & Masanobu Fuchi vs. Kenta Kobashi, Mitsuharu Misawa & Toshiaki Kawada « Matches « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
Kota Ibushi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura « Matches « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
Kenta Kobashi vs. Mitsuharu Misawa « Matches « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes « Matches « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels « Matches « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
Long story short, consider this a recommendation.
#match recs#sorry i just don't much like misawa even if he died for the game. there. i said it#2025 project

Can Punk apologize for scaring TK and go back to AEW? Like he doesn't really have to mean it. Just put on some short shorts, slick back your hair, and chat him up a little. You know, work those charms. Come on, man, I need Collision back.

if you want to see Raven's full ass and back sack, and if you squint maybe even hole, he holds up a photo of just that on secrets of the ring vol. 4.

I could swear I heard the line "my favorite spot in that match is when Angle went up for the belly-to-belly and Flair countered it by being old" on a snowboiii stream.

IWC opinions from 2006. So it's always been like that then.

Notes on the fifth Raven ROH shoot; or things Raven said about wrestling:
if you put everyone over no one gets over.
stevie richards is a menace to society behind the wheel.
he likes punk a lot because punk reminds him of himself: arrogant, doesn't take any advice from anyone, doesn't listen, thinks he knows it all.
punk does too many moves. he wants to be a good worker and have five star matches and not draw money. this is why punk is stranded in ovw forever, and also because they want to punish indie guys. [lol to all of this]
punk has a great character and personality, he has the ability to make people hate him. and that's what is going to make him money, if he learns not to have five star matches.
raven credits himself with teaching punk to stay down and sell.
raven says that dreamer definitely wants him sexually.
he thinks weekly tv should have short matches, tag team matches, six man matches and angles, while the big matches between the stars should only be on the ppv.
facial expressions are so important because they are universal.
when you roll out to the floor to play dead a bit you have to learn to ignore the five guys next to you yelling you to stop being a pussy and get back up.
sell yourself into the positions you need to be in.
if you go non stop with the moves the crowd can't digest what happened, you need to give them that breathing space.
"why would you stop selling?!"
he's not trying to steal the attention from anyone but he does want the attention, he needs the attention. and if the crowd is looking at him and not his opponent that's not his fault really ("get good" basically).
"I want people to say 'I just saw raven get his ass kicked', I don't want them to say "I saw dreamer kick his ass.'"

Raven, being the most humble person alive, credits himself with teaching Punk to stay down and sell (not the selling itself but the choice to just eat shit as he's getting worked over and not try to shine again). I'd like to compare Punk's selling before and after the Raven feud to see if that's true.

Notes on the fourth Raven ROH shoot; or things Raven said about wrestling (heel edition):
you don't want to be too funny as a heel because then people don't actually hate you.
punk's walk is so arrogant and annoying, with his chest out and his chin up like he's a star, which is a good quality in a heel.
as a heel you have to show your ass (not literally although the sunset flip into pants pulled down spot is a good spot).
the more loved/hated you are the easier it is to turn because there's so much emotional connection.
when you're a heel and just run through people and kill everyone and kick ass it's hard to be hated because that actually rocks and people love it.
the same is true for when you are too tough as a heel and take a beating with grace and don't back down.
raven initially wanted to be a chicken shit heel because he never considered himself tough compared to the actual tough guys in the business.
back in the old days you could just insult the town and people would get so mad but now they think it's funny.
the rules are so blurred (regarding what it allowed in the ring and what not, like closed fist punches) that it's more difficult to be a heel.
back then you could just act gay to get heel heat but now you got equal rights, which is lovely and all, but it's all not that easy anymore.
"the reason why the gay thing works is because... a lot of people are gay." and they are closeted and scared that they will become gay by contact. that's raven's working theory.
heels aren't as big primadonnas as faces because they know they're going to be humiliated and lose in the end, so he suggests everyone should be a heel first and experience ego death.
the problem is that people want to look cool and not show their asses.
joseph campbell hero's journey mention.
stevie was a great heel because you looked at him you just wanted to punch him in the face and not stop hitting him until he's dead. scotty did, not raven.
raven could not believe samoa joe as a bloodlusting maniac because he's just too nice and got a cute babyface and is a jolly fat man. wonder if raven changed his mind about that eventually.
the heel has to call the match because the tempo is on him and he knows where it's going.
you can do cool moves as a heel but you gotta be cut down and show your ass.
it's not a rest hold if you're working it. more fights end with one guy choking the other out than with fisticuffs. it's NOT a rest hold.
"if you're not fucking with the fans they'll feel left out. they're like children, they need constant attention."
if your babyface is not acting hurt during the hope spot fuck him up some more and even harder.
listen to the crowd. if they already start to cheer while you're trying to bring the face down to the mat and slow it down, you don't slow it down right then and shit all over them cheering, you tell the face to fight back a bit and reward the cheers (before cutting him down again).
babyfaces don't listen to anything you tell them and they're all egomaniacs.
snap your head back when you're selling punches, you lazy piece of shit.
wrestling is about motion, because they can't feel it, they can only see it. that's why long hair is so great.
the comeback is where you (as the one being comebacked on) don't sell so they can get their shit in repeatedly and the crowd gets to see so many bumps.
the silly drunk sell worked in the 80s but people are more discerning now.
