1. super stiff work 2. clean pinfall finishes 3. main event wrestlers with multiple finishers 4. long matches (40+ minutes for title matches or 6-mans) 5. a tier of main eventers, who are mostly equal 6. a match starts slow and builds to many near falls | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
