That's how feuds are set up, it's pretty simple imo. - I kinda like CYN even though I feel that they have some serious problems with the storytelling: you don't know why half of the things are happening or if they will have some follow up... feels like their NARRATIVE is a bit out of CONTROL.

19:19 After he hit that Superkick, he was never heard from again.

[@syxxpoppin8830]

Flip doing the 10f$ was the best part of the show.. should have let him do 100 😂

[@DarthDesolous]

Thank you for putting this video up. I’ve never seen a control your narrative promotion before but have heard about it. The only thing that I took away from this was “I hate Braun Stroman‘s new haircut“. I am still lost and confused about their gimmick “control your narrative“. But they have rules and moves you can’t do. To me that would counter act their whole mission statement which is “control your narrative”. Think about it. But again thank you for sharing

Jesus, this is worse than I thought it would be. I'm glad I haven't searched for this

That's what I thought when I first heard their roster...that, and guys who are unemployable for one reason or another

[@tonyjackson4078]

The moment Austin Aries was involved I knew I was giving CYN a hard pass. That jackwagon deserves no attention.

[@hipsterracoon2159]

Exactly... he is cretin who cannot own up he is awful af

[@WordSonFoRealz]

You picked up on one of the issues with independent wrestling. The people who own the film equipment are very rarely, almost never, the people trained to operate them. As a cost cutting measure they have the editors also shooting the shows. In general wrestling people look for the cheapest options for production and thats the beginning and end of their thought process. Edit: the names you said were random name generator names were their real names that are printed on their drivers licenses. Bill is bill and vinny is vinny.

I still don't understand why people think ec3 is anything. He's jacked but as entertaining and a cardboard box.

[@phillipg7315]

EC3 at first had a cool, rebellious vibe with the CYN but then it went way off the rails to just some pretentious artist trying way too hard. Sucks that Vince whiffed hard, he could have been something.

[@robwasilewski9273]

Sad to see some good wrestlers being treated like this

[@unknownbyself]

One of the few good things about CYN is that at least their finishers are protected. You won't see finisher after finisher. That said, it looks like a low-rent version of Lucha Underground, but with less intrigue and more surface-level Fight Club stanning. Also it's amusing that they have total creative freedom yet they all picked the generic "tough guy."

[@ComXDude]

Man, this really is just a bunch of edgy, pretentious faux-intellectual drivel, which has no clue if it wants to play itself straight or be tongue-in-cheek. It's too weird to attract casual fans, too standard and uninspired for hardcore fans, too overbearing for idle viewers, and too stupid for attentive ones. No substance, only the ramblings of a bunch of assholes who want to seem like they're breaking the mold, but aren't clever enough to make any interesting points or do anything especially earth-shattering. Even their attempts at publicity-baiting through edgy jokes are painfully basic. I saw someone on Reddit say this, but I feel it's extremely apt: This is the wrestling equivalent of all the edgy jerks who love Fight Club, but had the actual themes go entirely over their head. They just want to watch a bunch of angry people punch each other and think it's the greatest movie/book ever, completely unaware that the entire purpose of the material is the discussion of dissociation and fragile masculinity.

@Kyle Cornelius Seriously?? Yeah there's been like zero coverage about it! Even when the one was blown up, it was barely a blip in the news!

[@al5306]

Lucha Underground had plants in the crowd and would redo shots if spots were messed up. This does seem like it's trying to be underground, but it is not as polished as Lucha Underground lol The biggest thing that jumps out for me is how they have different types of cameras with different quality of lenses filming this stuff. If all of your cameras don't match and aren't recording in the same color space, it looks amateurish. All of WWE and AEW's cameras are synced up the same so the picture quality is consistent. You can really tell that CYN has paid ZERO attention to the production side of things. They're also using hot lights instead of LED's. No bueno.

This is basically a promotion that's built around hating The Young Bucks and their style of wrestling because it's more exciting than their limited abilities can provide. 🤣

[@mr.joedirt8583]

The young bucks can't even do headlock takedowns or hip tosses. All they can do is acrobatics and super kicks. They can't even throw decent looking punches. FTR exposes them being the amateur backyard trampoline cowboys that they are.
