Favorite type of wrestling

What is your favorite type of wrestling? Wrestling varies from lucha libre to hardcore to technical and so on and so forth.

Lucha Libre is great fast paced wrestling. AAA and CMLL are known for having many lucha libre wrestlers like juventud, feurza guerrera and etc. I personally think Lucha Libre wrestling is good but I rather something more realistic. I mean some of the shit they do you can tell when and how there going to do it. Like a suicide dive or such. It's just too predictable. Especially AAA. They no sell sometimes like the hair vs. mask match with Fuerza and Juvi. Its not the wrestlers either because look at how predictable WCW cruiserweights were and half of them wrestled the lucha style.

Cruiserweight wrestling is much different imo. Lucha, you can be any size. Cruiserweights is just small guys wrestler. Doing high flying moves doesn't make you a lucha wrestler imo. Having a mask and understanding the style makes you a lucha wrestler. Some may catergorize them togeather but I feel cruiserweights do many different styles. Look at WWE. They wrestle the watered down style of the WWE.

Technical wrestling is good imo but it gets boring. I rather lucha libre. Don't get me wrong because I feel the guys that do technical wrestling should get a reward for learning and such. Some of these submission moves they do are really creative and effective and realistic. Look at the reverse boston crab Colt Cabanna uses. Its pretty sick if you ask me. I think its because they wrestle mostly slow paced and a lot of new aged wrestling fans love when its more fast paced. Especially when the match gets good and they just water it down by going slow paced even though some feel it adds to the phsycology. It does in some cases but majority feel the same way I do.

Hardcore wrestling is my favorite. For one reason, whenever theres a hardcore match or last man standing or a match where there are no rules its always going to be good no matter who's in it. Lets look at Edge vs. Mick Foley. It had phsycology. I hate when some people say gimmick matches have no phsycology because thats pure ignorance. I feel that hardcore wrestlers deserve many props for the stuff they go through. Not to take away from the other wrestlers but some of these death matches I've seen are insane. I'm suprised no body dies because of a botch. Watch Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack in the death match finals and you'll see what I'm talking about.
