Also, do worked punches ever "connect".....I mean the IWC marks may go along with this....the casual wrestling fan is gonna see through that "punches" thrown vs connected crap

I would hope they break out the old rule book where a closed fist punch is illegal. Keep the strikes to forearms and chops/slaps/palm strikes. Not saying to DQ for a closed fist punch, but at least make the heel hide it in the beginning of the match from the ref while opponent is in a side headlock. Also more effective for the face comeback to get fed up with the heels cheating tactics and “fight fire with Fire” with a punch.

The “no closed fist” rule adds so much potential to match psychology, which is often lacking today.

Oh oh oh I have an idea let's bring in a bear and have Kenny Omega wrestle a bear that would be great.

Orrrrrrr....let's have Cody v Page in a 4 corners coal miner's glove strap on a pole match every week....that would be incredible.

I can't wait to see the tale of the tape stats on Kenny and the bear.....or to hear JR break down how many more times Cody got the glove and how much damage Hangman did with the strap.
