What type of styl of match do you like?

That N Word

Actively evolving
There are many type of styles in professional wrestling. You have your Technicians (Bryan,Punk,Taker,Rollins,Randy Orton) ,your Brawlers(Ambrose,Reigns,Austin,Lesnar,Taker),your Flyers(Hardy,Mysterio,Rollins,Kingston,Bryan) your Suplex guy's, Cesaro,Angle,Lesnar Submission specialist (Bryan,Joe,Angle)

But what is your favorite style? and my second question is What two styles do you like to see versus each other? andmy last question is If you would your style be like

My answer to question number 1 is Suplex.
My answer to question number 2 is Suplex vs. Flyers (something like Rollins vs Angle. Where the flyer do a bunch of high spots like flying over the top rope in a cool fashion. While Angle do stuff like rolling german's and miltary gutwrench suplexes.)

My answer to question number 3 is my styles would blend between brawling,flying,suplexing,and submission


Your Turn!
 
My favourite style is high-flying or X-Division wrestling. I love fast-paced matches. The proportion of me being disappointed by a high-flying match is much, much lesser than any other type of match. There is very little margin for error; but these guys always seem to know what they are doing, and their execution skills are also top notch.

My favourite match type would be Legend vs Legend. Although they are slower than the younger performers, and are not in their best shape, they almost always succeed in bringing their best in their matches somehow. They have a massive presence, their storytelling and expressions are perfect, their actions and reactions are totally believable, and they make you sit tight in your seat with intrigue and wonder what's gonna happen next.

Judging by what I see when I look at the mirror, I think I'd only injure myself if I tried to be a high-flyer. I would prefer to be a brawler instead. I could use my "brawling style" as an excuse for my poor physique. I could avoid some of the training too, and sleep in the meantime. My style would be "unorthodox", and could serve as an kind excuse for my poor wrestling skills. Oh I'm so clever!
 
Technical wrestling is the most fun to watch for me. All the holds and counter holds, it's fascinating. Especially when you get two people that can work it at a fast pace.

As far as the two I enjoy against each other, Technical and High Flying. If you've never seen a match between Dean Malenko and Rey Mysterio you really owe it to yourself to find one. They were incredible in the ring together.
 
In my opinion, sometimes, it all depends on which wrestlers are facing off against each other. Just because you go out on a date with an insanely hot girl doesn't mean that the two of you are gonna have chemistry. Without chemistry, there's not really a connection. It's the same in wrestling matches as there are going to be guys who're able to put on better matches against certain guys. For instance, Bryan vs. Lesnar might come off as better than Bryan vs. Mysterio due to the build up, the story being told in the match and the contrast of styles.

I've seen some guys have go up against each other in matches that, on paper, would seem epic only for the matches to be rather mediocre. For instance, we've seen Taker go up against Big Show a number of times over the years and I can't say that any of their matches have been all that great in my eyes. Sometimes, when a couple of brawlers and/or powerhouse guys lock up in the ring, that spark of interest just isn't there.

It's the same really for any other style. I've seen tons of high flying spotfests and while the big spots can be impressive and fast paced, the match is completely forgettable 5 minutes after its over most of the time. There's usually no story being told and the match is packed with so many spots that there's very little time selling the effects of said spots because they have to move so quickly from one spot to another.

As far as a clash of technicians go, again, sometimes it just doesn't work for a lot of people. A few weeks ago, I was watching NXT with Charlotte defending the NXT Women's Championship against Summer Rae and the ladies put on a pretty solid technical match. It wasn't an all time classic or anything, but it definitely had more of an "old school" technical aspect about it than I was expecting or that's usually seen on TV. I thought it was a pretty solid match, but the NXT crowd gave if the "boring" treatment a few times. Of course, there's always the possibility that it was because it was a women's match as I very much doubt the crowd would've given a match between William Regal and Daniel Bryan the "boring" treatment. With them, most fans would consider it a real treat to see them go at it in a technical showcase. Still, in this day & age, it's not at all surprising to see matches that have a lot of rest holds, even if said rest holds look great and more complex than your standard reverse chinlock, to be given "boring" chants.

Some of the more memorable matches over the course of this year, for me at least, have involved wrestlers who're generally able to mix styles well while ultimately being more advanced, for lack of a better term, in some styles than in others. Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt was a great match at the Royal Rumble, completely stole the show. Bryan's someone that can do the technical stuff, the high flying stuff and has proven himself in various brawls/no DQ matches whereas Wyatt's generally just a straight up brawler. Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro this year was again, a fantastic match that featured two guys with different styles who're able to really mesh their abilities together.

I don't really know what the hell a suplex guy is. When I think of Cesaro, Angle and Lesnar, I see three guys who fall easily into the brawler/technical areas with different strengths in the areas for different guys. Angle can brawl, no question, and he most certainly has the technical expertise and submission strength. Cesaro's also someone that's more of a technician/brawler while Lesnar always strikes me as a brawler with some aspects of a technician & submission guy. Ten or twelve years ago, Lesnar was a straight up powerhouse brawler even though he also has legit mat wrestling skills as a former NCAA Division I Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. Now, he definitely still relies more on power & brawling techniques, but he's also combined elements of his MMA training into his matches as well.

I don't think it was because they were women. I watched Lance Storm and Norman Smiley put on one of the finest technical matches I've seen in the last 30 years on Nitro back in 2000 and the crowd gave it the "boring" chant all match long.
 
Benoit vs Angle in Royal Rumble 2003. Never get tired watching that match. I wish it was on a Wrestlemania Main Even instead...
