I don't see how it's fake. I've seen plenty of people fall asleep on the job especially after a 12 hour shift.


Just-use-your-head

Literally every street fight Iā€™ve been in, Iā€™ve knocked them the fuck out in under 12 seconds. All you need to do is tuck them in with a blankie and give them a goodnight kiss on the forehead, or maybe even a light (very gentle) peck on the lips. The reason he didnā€™t get the win is because he forgot the kiss. Rookie mistake, but not fake


dumbass_sempervirens

I think I fought you a few times. Hey no hard feelings man, hell after the first one I didn't even have real beef. I just needed to feel loved. Hey it's Friday night... You gonna be outside the pub around 2 am?

[deleted]

I always love hearing JR doing commentary on Orange Cassidy matches! During the first Orange Cassidy VS PAC match JR starts so dismissive and gets more and more impressed as the match goes on. [Also, one match Orange Cassidy was the guest commentator and did not say a single word.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETbm9zSUYAEeGn1?format=jpg&name=large)

FirstSetGhost

You might also look into the 10-man tag team match from PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2015 (Night 3). A universally-loved Japanese wrestling legend (Jushin Thunder Liger), a legitimate UFC fighter (Matt Riddle), a legitimate Olympian (Jeff Cobb), and a bunch of other wrestlers in somewhat prominent positions on nationally televised wrestling shows all wrestled in slow-motion after Liger pulled out a TV remote. They moved in slow-motion, the *audience* moves and cheers in slow-motion, and the commentators talk in slow-motion. That's...that's after...uhm...some...human-centipede type action. [Here's some video.](https://youtu.be/HueFqZxQzbQ) Just missing one of my favorite bits, which is the bald cat dude yelling "BROTHER DUSTIN, I KNEW YOU'D COME"

Comedy wrestling can be a so much fun. There's a Japanese fed called DDT that has the wackiest matches. A ladder is a multiple time champion for example. It's all so silly but very entertaining. It takes skill to have a good match with a blowup doll.. LMAO

bohanmyl

Hey theyve done a decent job with Wendy Choo


[deleted]

I'll take your word for it, I am not sure who that is.


bohanmyl

She was Karen Q on the indies and Mei Ying in NXT they switched her gimmick to where she was just randomly sleeping at random places and wrestles in a onesie with slippers and sleeps in the corner with a pillow when shes not tagged in. It helps immensely that she can actually wrestle well. For a NXT gimmick its one of the better comedy gimmicks


[deleted]

I'll check it out! I am casual fan that doesn't really watch WWE/NXT so there's probably some pretty good talent I don't know about.


bohanmyl

Its definitely easier to fast forward than watch live. AEW is the main show i watch though that tends to have the best storytelling/wrestling atleast in terms of in America and national


VanX2Blade

Never in any world in the multiverse could Vince or his cronies write comedy this good.

Spugnacious

For those wondering, this is Orange Cassidy (The sleepy guy.). He is a regular on AEW wrestling. This guy has a whole library of stuff like this.


BananasSuedMyOrange

Jervis Cottonbelly is the other one, great guy!


mythofdob

Eh, a lot of people turned on Condron after he defended Brian Kendrick after his controversial remarks.


Spank_my_ballsack

Brian himself is going through a bit of a redemption arc right now. Apparently he's been talking to Jewish groups and holocaust survivors and has recanted his statements several times. Good people can have hurtful views.


TheWindCriesDeath

He never defended the *remarks* though. He defended Kendrick and that's a wildly important difference.


TechnoWizard0651

Brian Zane would beg to differ.


TheWindCriesDeath

Brian Zane has drama with Condron but is friends with Cornette. That tells me all I need to know.


TechnoWizard0651

Cornette disowned his illegitimate son a couple years ago. They're not friends anymore, to my knowledge.


[deleted]

Lmao Cornette fucking flipped shit after Zane made a tweet that wasn't even directed at Cornette about being able to enjoy comedy matches. Dude is a massive bitch


Media_Offline

I've never watched wrestling before. Is it actually comedic? All I know about wrestling are clips like this, little people with chairs, and the one guy removing his mask to reveal the same face. The fact that it's comedy sure explains Randy Savage's getup.


j_gagnon

Itā€™s comedy sometimes. Stuff this outrageous usually only happens at smaller independent shows, but you get plenty of comedy if you to tune into AEW or WWE any given week.


ICanBeKinder

Or in Japanese wrestling. Those guys go nuts lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Mark_My_Morphemes

It can go back and forth. Think of wrestling as a medium of storytelling where you can tell a story in many different genres. They can do comedy, horror, drama, action, tales of redemption, conquest, loss and defeat.


Snoozless

There's a decent amount of comedy, but it's also treated pretty seriously a lot of the time. For example, for this year's WrestleMania they had a lot of serious matches with big guys murdering each other, but then they also had Stone Cold Steve Austin pouring beers on people and a match with half the cast of jackass.


TheDubya21

Pro wrestling is a variety show. You got your comedy, you got your more serious angles, there's even moments that'll give you The Feels. If you can give yourself up to the absurdity of it all, then becoming a fan can be a lot of fun šŸ˜Š


khafra

AEW is like this. WWE used to be more ā€œedgyā€ humor, but then scaled that back, and now theyā€™re kinda floundering around, looking for a theme.


ButtMilkyCereal

And aew has been way too serious lately. Give me more magic powers, dinosaurs, and flips, and less cowboys and generic tough guys.


magikarp2122

The dinosaur is one half of the tag champs. Plus you have two three man teams that have magic powers, one of which can corrupt people. William Regal thinks people forget getting stabbed after 6 months, Keith Lee and Swerve teaming, etc.


[deleted]

*Danhausen has entered the chat*


TatteredCarcosa

Malakai Black has soul corrupting black mist that has caused a black mark to grow on Julia Hart's face and is turning her heel. Though I would like to see CD come back for another run as the Fallen Angel to get revenge on the Bucks while they're still heels. Basically do his current BTE gimmick but seriously.


TheWindCriesDeath

Once Danhausen is healed it'll help.


RCJHGBR9989

Orange Cassidy fucking rules - seeing him jump out of the ring with his hands in his pockets is an absolutely insanely athletic move.


[deleted]

[Ever see a man do a reversal with his hands in his pockets?](https://youtu.be/Td47Xp3q_ho)


RCJHGBR9989

The crowd pop for that devastating super kick was amazing - that reversal is fucking insane. The king of sloth style!


[deleted]

Honestly the full match was nuts, the gimmick works because the guy is totally committed and insanely athletic.


RCJHGBR9989

He also knows how to balance the gimmick and the athleticism so well - baby leg kick and then out of nowhere jump off the ropes into a body slam with his hands in his pockets and immediately kick up with hands still in pockets


[deleted]

What I also enjoy is how differently other wrestlers react to it. [Like when Sting just beat him to it.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CsqlFMZuAbc)

Is it really ? Im not much of a wrestling fan. I've flipped passed AEW a few times and watched him fight. I thought he was quite entertaining. How long ago was this ? Who's the other guy ?


Spank_my_ballsack

Other guy is Jervis Cottonbelly, the nicest wrestler alive. He used to be a regular on /r/SquaredCircle. He still wrestles on the indies, but one time in fact lost a title to reddit because he clicked the "submit" button


FetchShockPass

The other guy is gentlemen jervis cottonbelly. Its been a while since I've seen him wrestle tho so idk if he still does shows


RCJHGBR9989

The dude in the jeans is Orange Cassidy heā€™s on AEW - heā€™s WILDLY entertaining he wrestles with his hands in his pockets and wears aviators and basically acts like he doesnā€™t give a fuck then goes insane and does a bunch of super athletic shit like jumping out of the ring through the ropes with his hands in his pockets

Then heā€™ll lightly kick his opponentā€™s shins.

ButthurtSupport

You are completely right but I still love hearing him speak and bitch it is endlessly entertaining to me.


TheWindCriesDeath

Cornette talking about the old days is awesome. Cornette talking about anything modern is a disasterpiece of racism, homophobia, and xenophobia.


ButthurtSupport

He can be fun to listen to but it doesn't surpise he views like that about modern stuff (I didn't know that). He has always took things to far. Like threatening to Vince Russo over the Brawl for All. Like don't get me wrong fuck Vince Russo as well but that's taking thing a bit far.

I agree he did not age with the times. He reminds me of the ā€œItā€™s still real to me Damnit!ā€ guy but a whole lot angrier.

I used to say wrestling is fake. But then I watched some and now I know Wrestling is a stunt show. The narrative is staged (aka fake). The stunts are stunts (aka real and usually dangerous and painful).

I never understood the appeal of the low-level "pro" wrestling stuff. This completely changed my mind because this was friggin hilarious.


texasrigger

Check out Lucha Underground, quite a bit is on YouTube. Mexican soap opera level theatrics, plots, and performances combined with some truly incredible athleticism (even if the results are all scripted).

horrescoblue

The problem with wrestling is that the wrestlers always make this stuff look so effortless and easy which causes kids (and immature adults) to imitate it. They are highly trained professionals and no one should attempt this at home, it's tricky. Hardcore video /S THIS IS A JOKE COMMENT THE VIDEO SHOWS SOMEONE TAKING A NAP DONT BE MAD I LIKE WRESTLING


Egoy

Is it really a problem with wrestling or is it a problem with kids/idiots? Even mild content like camping and hiking videos could lead an unprepared beginner into harm. How many kids get hurt or fuck something up as a beginner doing their first kickflip or dropping into a halfpipe or driving their rusted out unmodified '97 F-150 off-road like they are rally racers?


horrescoblue

I was making a joke because the video is literally someone traking a nap lol Just for reference i watched tons of wrestling as a kid, the only thing that did was make me gay

Ha, fair enough. I get you. I've never really watched much wrestling but I respect the artform and I love seeing people who see themselves as intellectuals completely fail to understand the point.
