CAN WE PLEASE...!

[bxbigshow]

I might be starting a new thread idea that you guys/gals can have fun with. It is called "CAN WE PLEASE", it is a simple single request that you as a fan can make of WWE/Wrestling Fans/Marks/Smarts/Smarks.

If anyone has any TNA/Indy requests then I ask a mod to move this to General Wrestling, but since my first one is WWE related...I put it here. I'll start, discuss below if need be or add your own:

CAN WE PLEASE...learn how to count Cesaro's swing correctly?

I mean every time he picks someone up the crowd is like already on 3 before he even started! Count the swing as FULL ROTATIONS! And stop giving 2 to every 1!

Quick Tip: Pick a focal point in the ring from where Cesaro picks the dude up...turnbuckle/hard camera/ref position and credit 1 swing when he rotates the opponent fully past that point.

I was watching Payback this morning on the Network and Cesaro swung Sheamus like maybe 15-18 times...while the crowd was on 21! It really shows the lack of intelligence in wrestling fans if they can't count.

I'm done...I need a drink.

I don't see the big deal. They're counting off the amount of seconds that Cesaro has his opponent off the ground DURING "the swing".

 

[r2d2ott]

When instead, they should be counting the revolutions of the swing.

Me and everyone I know who watches the fed completely agree with you.

Does it really matter? Besides, I thought we were suppose to count seconds anyway.

No they're not. And if they are, they're counting the wrong thing.

I guess you think they're also counting how many seconds the ref is lying next to a pinned wrestler?

I love how perpetually wrong people never see why being wrong is a big deal. If you're ever right, you'll finally see how much better it feels. But, from reading your posts, so far you haven't had the chance. Do you live in a van down by the Toms River?

Good idea, OP! Hope this becomes something.

 

[bxbigshow]

The fact that someone actually said we were suppose to count the SECONDS THE OPPONENT IS IN THE AIR, made me spit up my tea. Who the hell does that? Are we counting how many times Sheamus beat his opponent's chest or how long the guy is trapped in the ropes?

WWE even promotes this awful behavior by taking at times (and be it early in the swing craze) the fans misguided number and stated that that was the true number of "swings"...just plain stupid.

@HeenanGorilla- I have more but I want to give others the opportunity to vent their frustrations out there...but thanks!

If I am wrong about something, please let me know. If you ever read my past posts I would admit to it and carry on, I would never try to justify my inaccuracies...just saying.

I was being sarcastic about the fans "counting off the seconds", but I was not when I said it's not a big deal.

I'm in the minority but I think the swing itself is fucking stupid (ooooh, I might get burned at the stake for that comment). So I can't get too bent out of shape when the counting of the swing rotations isn't accurate.

I noticed the count is usually pretty wrong too but I don't think it's that big of a deal. I guess some fans count the seconds instead and think that it's the right way but whatever. It's not like there's a manual or something.

 

[CalciferBoheme]

People did that before his time in WWE and they're doing it now.

They just get so excited to count that they lose track. Also, for the ones sitting really face away I can see where their might be an issue.


I agree it can be frustrating, but there's no use in getting angry about it.
