Living in the future is pretty cool, but when it loads up my dance card with wrestling from three continents and something like ten companies without me having to do much more than type, I feel like I\u2019m underwater. This has been one of the bigger challenges for me as I transition into the glorious streaming future: How do I enjoy professional wrestling without overdosing?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer has been really simple: give up my belief in completionism. For a long time, I\u2019ve needed to see every entrance, every video package, and every second of every match in order to watch\/review\/enjoy a wrestling show. In order to not quit all of my jobs and become a <em>Wall-E<\/em>-esque blob of a human (see photo), I had to do something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media0dk-a.akamaihd.net\/98\/96\/dcb699613957429f9a8b33ee87cb3cd0.jpg?resize=495%2C259&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"495\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us have watched wrestling long enough to know when something is important. We know there is a difference between a random six man tag team match on Raw and the WWE Championship match in a pay-per-view main event. We know there is a difference between another cryptic Bray Wyatt promo and anything exciting happening. Generally, we can tell if something cool is going to happen or not. I follow these instincts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It started with 90 minute Raw on Hulu, the greatest invention in wrestling history (especially if you pay those extra $4 for ad free Hulu). Then came fast-forwarding through that even. I just don\u2019t need a video package of a show I watched a week ago. WWE isn\u2019t pointing out important storyline points from years before like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they\u2019re just setting last week\u2019s events to ominous music. They aren\u2019t telling new stories, they\u2019re catching up people who never watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see, WWE television is not made for completionists. It\u2019s made for the person watching one or two episodes per month, and only casually paying attention. How else could someone explain the frequent replays of everything worth remembering? What about the commentator\u2019s obsessive desire to review every story point for each wrestling while they are wrestling? Completionists might think they need to see everything in WWE, but WWE itself is screaming their disagreement with this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, giving up on completionism has allowed me to see and enjoy wrestling I haven\u2019t had time for in the past. I\u2019ve avoided NJPW\u2019s G1 shows over the past few years because it was too hard to see every match of the tournament. Well, this year I decided to catch highlights from just about every show and it\u2019s been amazing. I\u2019ve seen most of the great matches. I understand the stories happening. I am quite invested in the end of the tournament, even though I purposefully avoided watching a single Yoshi-Hashi match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know liberally fast-forward, picking and choosing, or relying on reviews (shout out to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voicesofwrestling.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voices of Wrestling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for their great G1 coverage, which allowed me to easily pick what I needed to see) feels weird at first, but it\u2019s the best feeling ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not watching every match of every show. Heck, sometimes I may not see every match of a WWE pay-per-view. I haven\u2019t watched a WWE pre-show since WrestleMania. They just aren\u2019t important. There is a ton of great wrestling out there to invest in and you can see even more if you skip what doesn\u2019t connect with you!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Last week\u2019s essential viewing:<\/b><\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-1601969554\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What matches do you need to see from the last week of wrestles? Note: There are spoilers in the write-ups on each match.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>From NJPW\u2019s G1 Climax 27 Tournament:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Zack Sabre Jr vs. Tetsuya Naito (NJPW G1 Climax 27 Night 13, August 4, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; ZSJ is a technical wizard and seeing him match up against a variety of styles and opponents has made the G1 pretty fun. This was Naito getting the best of Sabre Jr and finding his way to the top of the A Block. Naito was awesome here as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kenny Omega vs. Juice Robinson (NJPW G1 Climax 27 Night 14, August 5, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; It\u2019s hard to pull off a good surprise in a tournament. It\u2019s even harder to pull off two in one night. Robinson beating Omega was an absolute shock. Robinson is performing far above what I thought he was capable of in this G1 and it\u2019s really exciting. Omega is his consistently awesome self. This match is a really fun journey with a super high point at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Evil vs. Kazuchika Okada (NJPW G1 Climax 27 Night 14, August 5, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; And the upsets rolled on with this match surprising the cuss word out of me. Evil has had an awesome tournament. He\u2019s not the MVP, but he has proven to be better than a sidekick role. Okada losing here was a total shock. I half expected him to go to the finals without a loss (or at least to the Omega match). This win should mean big things for Evil in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tomohiro Ishii (NJPW G1 Climax Night 15, August 6, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This match told a remarkable story of the immovable Ishii taking every shot Tanahashi had to offer and fighting to stay in the G1. If Tanahashi won, it set the A Block finals and took Ishii out of the running. It was two experts putting together a match where both men had exceptionally high stakes and Tanahashi finally made his way to victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>From WWE:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing Match (WWE Raw, August 7, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; As always, Braun and Roman are great wrestlers who produce magic together. You\u2019re not going to get a technical classic, you\u2019re going to see two unmovable men clash. It\u2019s awesome and I will never turn down an opportunity to see it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hideo Itami vs. Kassius Ohno (WWE NXT Live in Los Angeles, August 9, 2017)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The best match on a loaded NXT live show from The Novo in Los Angeles. Watching wrestling in a unique venue with passionate fans is always cool. Seeing a great match at the same time is even cooler. I know people can\u2019t watch this particular match, but wanted to shout it out anyways.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in wrestling this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-4154022635\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Wrestling Outside of Arenas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Wrestling from anywhere that is not a traditional United States basketball or hockey arena is the greatest thing this week.

I love when a wrestling show lets that personality shine. Light the theater, church, community center, concert venue, or whatever other place you\u2019re in and let it shine!

While I understand the heroics of the time, I also think it\u2019s a genre just slightly overdone. I was reluctant to read Anthony Doerr\u2019s Pulitzer Prize winning novel because of this. I was wrong to be reluctant. Doerr wrote the touching story of a young blind French girl and a young German boy\u2019s path to a fateful meeting expertly. I had trouble putting this book down to sleep. It\u2019s totally worth the time to read and absorb this touching tale.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Reader mail:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got something to say\/react to in today\u2019s piece?

I\u2019ve been a fan of Kenny\u2019s ever since I saw a replay of one of his matched on the AXS run of NJPW a few years ago. From his entrance to his in-ring work, I was just captivated by Kenny and what he brought to the match. Not only is a great talent in-ring, he\u2019s also quite the talent outside of the ring, from his interviews to downtime stuff that he does (YouTube stuff that he does with the Young Bucks coming to mind). All around, Kenny is quite the talented guy, and here\u2019s to hoping that if\/when he meets Kazuchika Okada in the ring again, Kenny finally wins it (and provides another stellar match at the same time).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh man, this weekend is going to be fun.
