This match from New Japan Pro Wrestling is getting a lot of attention, positive and negative.
Some are saying the match’s focus on the gymnastics and “flippy shit” takes away from the suspension of disbelief at the heart of all pro wrestling matches.
Others (including one of the match participants) are defending it as one of many many ways that the artform of pro wrestling can be presented.
Some well-known commentators, famous for their interest in hard-nosed old-school wrestling, are somewhere in the middle saying they appreciated the match but realise it could’ve been more “realistic” as well.
