Jim Cornette on Whose Fault A Bad Match Is

[@aquirick]

@@CarlGonzalesGuitar exactly, you won't do this word for word, it's the spirit that matters: your matches have to make sense, they have to be consistent with characters, roles and gerarchy. That's the mistake when they copy UFC: it's fine to take inspiration, but this thing has to LOOK REAL, not BE REAL. It has its right distance from reality, where illusions live. If you get too close to reality, it ends up looking fake, dangerous and ineffective: most people don't even get what actually happens in a real boxing or jujitsu match, they think that's fake! That's a dive! That hold wasn't deep! All the time, so it does not matter. Also you can't be the real thing because every closed hold and almost every knockdown must end a match, and that's the end of wrestling. But you can't even go too far from it, doing gymnastics, if you do again this becomes dangerous, and even more importantly the suspension of disbelief doesn't work.

from my small experience as a local pro wrestler you've never heard of: My buddy and I were at a small promotion, mainly just getting me some ring experience in front of an actual crowd, so we asked the promoter what he wanted. It basically went like this: Us: When do you want us out there? Him: Second match. Us: How long you need us to go? Him: (looks down his card) Gimme 10-12 minutes, give or take. Us: finish? Him: (He knows I'm green as grass) Do whatever y'all are comfortable doing, I just need the face going over. That was it.

It could be either the booker or the wrestlers involved. If Vince Russo is booking a viagra on a pole match, it's a lost cause, no matter what the wrestlers do. Sometimes there are legit botches in matches and those things just happen and sometimes they're because, like in AEW, the wrestlers are trying to be circus freaks, and they end up hurting themselves or the other guy. MJF was right in his big promo - he's a smart, safe worker. He doesn't drop people on their heads. Meanwhile, half the roster in AEW I wouldn't get in the ring with if my life depended on it. They'd send me into a wheelchair - permanently.

It's why I don't get the hate guys like Randy Orton or The Miz get. They're proper good pro wrestlers. They're safe, know what they're doing in ring, I can't say either have ever had a seriously terrible match. I mean there must be a reason it's always The Miz who's put with celebrity or showcase guys they bring in because they obviously trust him to call a match to not make it look stupid regardless of how green the guy he's in there with. If I was a booker I'd kill to have guys like MJF and The Miz on my roster. Great promos, safe workers, know how to put on a good match and can generate real heat.

[@rebal180]

There are multiple factors that go into a match being good or bad. The 2 wrestlers may or may not work well together. The booker could put over the wrong guy or even write a bad finish. A great match could turn bad just from how horrible the ending is. A count out or DQ is often seen as a cop out finish to protect both guys. Even a roll up finish can be seen as cheap because the fans want to see matches end with a big move of some sort.

[@Noobie2k7]

I mean dq's are only thought of that way now. Back in the late 90's in the WWF almost every single TV main event would end in a DQ or screwy finish. Because it protects all their top talent, keeps the feuds going and keeps people wanting to watch. If you just have a clean finish between two top guys on TV why will anyone care about seeing them so it again? They've already seen who won.

[@Noobie2k7]

In the Attitude era for a good 2 years every single TV main event would involve some combination of Stone Cold, The Rock, HHH or The Undertaker and none would ever have a clean finish.

Basically, think of it like improv comedy, as seen on Whose Line is It Anyway? (though Second City is a better venue for it).

Now, it has become scripted theater, complete with elaborate choreography, which falls into the same formulaic patterns as a weekly sitcom. Guess which people came out to see, more often than not?

To add to this, they plan out every step and spot so that it looks extremely rehearsed…which means if something happens that goes a little different than planned, instead of what logically comes next and improvising, they stick to the script even if it no longer makes sense.

The guys that follow along will get over and the stubborn ones that don't, won't. And then logically the guys that got over will get bigger pushes as they become the stars. The guys that insist on going toe-to-toe with lower card guys with a million false finishes will subconsciously look weaker to the audience than the guys that get dominant wins at the expense of a "good match".

[@jasonharrington6717]

I still wanna know who killed WCW w/the way Starcade Sting/Hogan was called. My favorite angle/build up ever somehow ended with probably the worst main event ever. (yes I'm still mad about this whenever it crosses my mind) Bischoff has made contradictory statements about his role ("I couldn't let Sting be the face of the company when he showed up for a meeting w/out a tan" vs "I left it up to the talent") and it looked sort of like a typical Hogan match but much worse than normal. And was totally inconsistent w/all the Sting matches leading up to it. How that was messed up so badly in so many ways boggles the mind. I blame everyone.

[@insupportofjunhado]

You got a thousand USD? You two can book a professional wrestling match. I guarantee there is an independent promoter somewhere not too far from your state, if you're in the states, who will let you book an entire card if you're willing to pay enough. I've done, more than once. Hannibal wasn't just booking matches, but his OWN matches on cards all over the country on the regular. If you have five figures to spend you can run your own promotion outright. If you're any good at it you might get your money back, maybe even make some. If you aren't good enough to make anything, then just run cards for what the locals think is a worthy charity.

[@arkansasstorm]

A great match is like savage vs steamboat. A poor match is usually a lot of modern matches. I think the issue is, that wrestlers today dont care for the craft than those of old.

I suppose you could say the match was the bookers fault and it doesn't makes sense if they arranged a unrealistic match with a unbelievable finish.

It's not like other sports where a player is like well I read this defense and seen this player covering this or that so I decided to call an audible etc etc. All the can talk about is how they scripted the match out before it happened and what did you think of the booking or writing for the gimmick and feuds.If they did that would be ruining kayfabe. If Tony just wants to sit there and talk about the gate or where the next event is and answer questions about where the companys direction is heading going forward or wrestlers he might wanna sign or re sign and that stuff. Just the idea you're gonna talk to the wrestlers about their win or loss seems so dumb.

[@cypher515]

I think I see it. He assumes that the wrestlers are competent and trained how to just accomplish laying out a match in the ring. Let's be honest... these wrestlers don't get trained to do that. Though that IS a good thing about one of the promotion games that's out there: Adam Ryland's Total Extreme Warfare has a space for all the matches being set up, and let's be honest, it has a basic drop down for intensity, the amount of time, who wins, and how, and is it clean or not. Everything else is based on the 'chemistry' stats that basically said Bryan Danielson and CM Punk could have a good match with anyone, same with Nick Dinsmore in the earliest versions if you can remember, but other people have to have similar knowledges of similar styles, and the styles have to go along with what the general style of the promotion is. Makes sense to me, anyway.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

I listen to this and I think, this is the standard for the format of what wrestling should be. Then I think, why cant the tradition of wrestling evolve? Then you look at many things in life, they follow a specific formula over the years or centuries but evolve. But when you look at the state of wrestling now, when fans and wrestlers who are marks for themselves shout THIS IS WRESTLING. It may use certain ingredients for what wrestling is but maybe they should call it something else. ATHLETIC COMBATS or something. So then traditional wrestling can prevail and still make sense.

I always looked at it as it’s the Booker’s job to get the long term big picture of the story right and set the chapters. It’s the wrestler’s job to right the words of those chapters once they get in the ring. Get either one wrong and the story sucks. And this is why Jim has disdain for the AEW product. You have a booker that doesn’t know how to lay out chapters in a coherent way and wrestlers that write the words in nonsensical prose like children by leaning on high spots and garbage death matches. The result is usually a story that has little logic and comes off as juvenile.
