...I wasn't trying to change your opinion. Frankly, I don't give a flying 
about your opinion. Doesn't change that what dude was saying is right.The portrayal of a technically sound wrestling match isn't subjective.
This wasn't a discussion of the most entertaining match, but a dialogue of the most technical performance.
A match that is performed with the fundamental element of realism at it's core is either enough to convince the audience that what they're watching is legitimate, or it doesn't. I don't care if my post draws you in. I wrote a logically correct understanding of professional wrestling, the artform, when one discusses the semantics of technical proficiency in the execution of matches.
Professional Wrestling is a Vaudevillian take on the quintessential sport. The sport from which all competition is birthed.
It is an art that is a micro-chasm of life, that is almost bigger than life itself at times, yet is somehow contained in those lowly, yet lovely little Turn-Buckles. However, if you can't suspend the disbelief of a crowd, you'll go hungry.
The only way to do that for all of Pro-Wrestling history until 1985 was by convincing people that they were watching a real sport; with the occasional element of mayhem & cheating of course.
