So lately this is a thing I've been thinking a lot about. Back in the Wrestlemania thread, DD said "if Taker/HBK isn't your thing, then wrestling isn't your thing", or something to that effect, to which my response in my head was "maybe not everyone likes ten minutes of finisher kickouts". Just like every other form of media and entertainment, wether it be art, film, music or whatever, we all have our preferences when it comes to wrestling. We all have our own ideologies of what make a good match and what makes a good wrestler. There are a lot of fans who only care about a match if they don't know the outcome and don't care about the match itself. Some people care about how flashy or complex the moves being hit are and don't care about their context in the match. Some like matches that are purely story driven.

So this thread is basically me asking you: What is your idea of good wrestling? What makes you care about a match? The technical work? The amount of finishers? The wrestlers personalitys? And before you give the generic "good story-telling" answer, think about WHAT makes for good story-telling? How important are factors like execution, realism, pacing, etc
