A modern pace basically means you cut out all of the time that is wasted doing dumb things like locking up, wrestling holds, and selling moves, so you have more time to do exciting things like diving over the ropes, doing flips that almost make contact, and building constructs out of random furniture… Cause professional wrestling shouldn’t look like two guys struggling for control… it should just be guys running around like they’re on meth, wrecklessly throwing their bodies around until they’re paralyzed!

Selling is WAY more important for the storytelling in a match than the moves. People bash Hulk but him selling, practically begging for mercy before hulking up doing a few moves and his bad finisher has emotional impact, something you don't get in current era matches.

"Ropework - The skill of using, maintaining, and repairing ropes. It's used by climbers, seafarers and military personnel. Ropework includes tying knots, splicing, making lashings, whipping and making proper usage and storing of ropes" Dave Meltzer must have seen the wrestlers make the ring ropes prior to the match when putting my the ring together. He's so thorough that he incorporates this into the final rating of their matches.

So Ray Fenix does a lot of stuff where he’ll run on the top rope or springboard from the middle to the top rope and stuff like that in super creative ways. Not everybody’s cup of tea but it’s fairly impressive. I actually don’t mind making up a new term for it, because I’ve never seen anyone who uses the ropes like he does. I personally wouldn’t bury someone for 9 minutes because he called it “rope work,” but I’ve never laced up a pair of boots. Basically if Russo had watched the match, or almost any Ray Fenix match, he’d know exactly what Meltzer meant. (This is my first time hearing the term as well, and it was easy enough for me to figure out.) So not sure about the choice to act like Meltzer burned down the Sistine Chapel live on air without bothering to watch the match he was talking about.

Seriously AsspieDave as a fixation on the LuchaCrap "wrestling." I'm going to be spicy with this, but Mexico and Japan never got it right, or understood, what the U.S. guys were trying to teach them. Instead, they took in the information and bastardized the crap out of it by forgetting what psychology is and how to actually work a match. So they took the idea of pro wrestling, then infused it with their "warrior pride" bullshit (Aztec/Samurai crap). It turned it into either,. a circus stunt show where everyone is doing flips and twists and crap at full speed, with no idea of psychology and selling (Lucha), or they legitimately beat each other with strikes and drop each other on their heads , again at full speed, with no idea of psychology or selling (Puro). And because AsspieDave and his ButtBuddyBrian are overly pushing this narrative as both being the be all and end all, not only people getting brainwashed on this propaganda, but this is also resulting in guys/gals actually doing the work risking life, limb, and eyesight on trying to imitate that, honestly, niche garbage from Mexico or Japan. Meanwhile normal guys are either watching WWE or the old stuff.
