It's a business. no one wants to watch skinny asian girls do headdrops. Shit, people don't even want to see skinny asian headdrops.
If you get past counting moves and 'being stiff' you'll realize that western women's wrestling is every bit as much an art. When Trish Stratus or Mickie James wrestling, they're constantly in character and they tell a story in the ring, they also use their unique flexibility and sexiness (not ****tiness) to get over. When Trish does a back bend to dodge a clothesline, that's sexy. It's not ****ty, but it's not something guys do.
Booking women as just another wrestling match is dumb and it's really close minded. You find out what makes them unique. Wrestling should be about variety. Why do I care if Victoria and Winter trade moves? I DO care that Beth Phoenix is fighting for every non barbie doll little girl who isn't going to get hired as easily because she doesn't wear a push up bra and too much make up. Pro wrestling is about storytelling and emotion. It has ALWAYS been about this.
I respect that you have your opinions, but just like kicking out of a million finishes doesn't get over here (and really doesn't get over in japan, it's still story), women doing the exact same thing as the men, doesn't really appeal. That just waters down the product even more and makes it all more of the same stuff. You need sex appeal (not curviness, but athletic sexiness similar to ana kornakova), you need comedy, you need badasses, you need douchebags, you need all american good guys, you need the blue collar babyface, etc.
I didn't like the match you showed either. Pretty much what most indy matches are. A bunch of no selling, head drops, stiff kicks, even the extremely fucking overdone "EPIC PIN ATTEMPTS". I mean, there is an armbar spot that they seem to sell as a falsie, which doesn't work because they never worked the arm before, I don't believe it hurt either because she wins with a schoolboy with the SAME ARM that was worked just 10 seconds before.... There's a cool spot where they counter a shining wizard with a blind ankle lock, however, it happens about 2 minutes in with no build. I mean, you see this match on every northeast indy show. One person has kickpads, one has shiny baggy pants, there's the "athletic competition" feeling out at the beginning. then there's the exchange of wristlocks and kip ups and missed basement dropkicks, even followed by the smarktastic courtesy applause. I HATE these kinds of matches. No story, no selling, no psychology, nothing. Just a bunch of headdrops and stiff kicks that are the only real looking spots, but they no sell them so they look fake. Everything else is basically gymnastics. I don't like this style and history shows that most other people, even people in Japan, don't like. It's about story. I had no reason to give a shit about either wrestler or about the moves they do because everything was no sold or didn't go anywhere, just a bunch of "look at how cool this is" spots. I mean, shining wizard countered into an ankle lock, released (why? do you not wanna win?), then a german suplex, which is no sold. It's like why the fuck do I care? Awesome, you just did a cool spot, you could train most athletes in the world to do that exact same thing. There is no emotion, no story, also not much of a house. Before you say "this style got over in Japan with Kobashi, Kawada, and Misawa"...no, it wasn't the style, it was the story. If it was the style, then NOAH's juniors would be over and they'd still have a TV time slot.
I understand that some people like this kind of match, but most don't.
I have a question. How is a 'stiff' match a good match? Second, how is this match technical? I mean, no one on here knows how to do every move, so how can you judge? also, just because they do a lot of moves and stiff spots, how does that make it a good match? Last question, if you hurt yourself and work hard, but no one gives a shit, does it matter?
