Is that any different than complaining about the direction your favorite fiction based TV show is going?Not really since people stop watching TV shows when they start not liking them. The exception used to be daytime soaps, which pretty much were the same thing as pro wrestling.
The look of a Valentine elbow smash is far more "upped actiony" than A Bulldog doing something quickly. It's all such a weird discussion. Valentine had been a WWF guy and a Crockett guy. Snuka was a Georgia guy as well as Orndorff. The Calgary guys were three dudes plus Neidhart who had been in Mid South. There's no real clear distinctions.
I think it's a difference in how you define "workrate" , which is a terrible term that needs to die in a gasoline fire. But if you really want to look at s guy who brought a more exciting style to the WWF, look at Sgt. Slaughter in the early 80's.
There's people who just can't enjoy anything. They have to find anything to complain about when people are all praising something. In this case, it's them going on about Owens' promo.
Yeah that Owens bit fucking ruled. At some other sites I was reading all this shit about Owens being awful on the mic during it. I just watched it and he was great. He was being calm and cocky and he has an accent, as English isn't his first language.
I remember reading that part of Bruno's deal when he agreed to go into the HOF included a few Legends Roundtables. I have no idea if they were ever done, though.
