Does Kousuke Know The Way?

Not open for further replies.
Well, if you want to me to talk about their fighting styles...

Gargano mixes British Chain Wrestling, Lucha Libre, and Puroresu. He calls it "Lucharesu" iirc.

Theory utilizes his strength, along with stiff strikes and grapples. He's also deceivingly agile for someone his size.

SO STOP USING IT 😭

It’s ridiculously unconvincing and you genuinely make the verse look weaker than it is when you try and hype it up in comparison to the actually impressive skill showings WWE has to offer

Do you know how many mfs told me that it's Analytical Prediciton? Why wouldn't I use it?

Because it’s too vague. It sways literally nobody and you act like it’s the G.O.A.T. skill feat for the verse

Can I not act like it's a very good skill feat.

Plus, no one has mentioned it was vague until now.
 
Anyways, I have a full skill essay for Theory if mfs aren't convinced right here:

Well, for starters, Austin Theory was a bodybuilding champion at the age of 17. Here's an image of him in that bodybuilding competition. Keep in mind he was only 17 at the time. Now that he’s a full time professional wrestler at the age of 25, there’s no doubt in my mind that Theory is in full peak condition, making him physically superior to a lot of the wrestlers in the roster, as well as one of the most athletically gifted.

Theory was stated by commentary to have been blessed with all of the tools an athlete can hope for, and is a true prodigy in the world of professional wrestling. This already shows the massive amounts of potential/skill Theory has.

To start things off with a bang, there’s this new wrestler called Axiom. In this promo, he’s billed as someone who can quickly analyze and react to anything thanks to his gift for mathematics, which he uses to defeat wrestlers in the ring. Yes, this guy uses mathematical formulas while in the middle of a match to defeat his opponents. Keep in mind, this guy struggles with NXT wrestlers, while Austin Theory has fought on par with and defeated some of the best wrestlers in the business, so Theory is likely far superior to the likes of Axiom, which is already extremely impressive in itself.

Theory on his debut NXT match was able to fight on par with Roderick Strong. Strong has over 20 years of experience as a wrestler, and was nicknamed The Master of the Backbreaker, due to his ability to constantly target the opponent's back in wrestling matchups.

Theory was also able to hold his own against the likes of Aleister Black, who was trained in Pencak Silat and Kickboxing from the ages 9 to 15.

Austin Theory defeated Ricochet in only a couple of minutes. Ricochet is notorious for using his absurd levels of acrobatics and quick reflexes to blitz, overwhelm, and defeat his opponents.

Theory was able to give Bobby Lashley a good run for his money. Bobby Lashley has a very good mixed martial arts background, having a record of 15-2, defeating the likes of Joshua Franklin in 41 seconds (TKO), and Mike Cook in 24 seconds (Submission). He even defeated James Thompson, who at that point, had over a decade of experience in mixed martial arts. Lashley defeated him in 54 seconds via TKO.

Theory was also able to give AJ Styles a good run for his money. AJ Styles is the same guy who was able to beat John Cena clean. Cena is the same guy who looked like was about to beat Brock Lesnar before getting interrupted. Brock Lesnar was an Amateur Wrestler, and a Mixed Martial Artist career, which he uses, along with his Amateur Wrestling background to decimate his opponents. Lesnar had a record of 106-5 in his 4 years of college wrestling at the NCAA, as well as winning the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar also ended the iconic 21-year Wrestlemania win streak of The Undertaker.

After a hard-hitting, physical match, Theory was able to defeat Dolph Ziggler clean. Ziggler has a great amateur wrestling background. Ziggler set the record for most pins in St. Edward High School with 82 pins. When he was a wrestler at Kent State University, he at one point, held the record for most career wins in the team's history, earning 121 wins (the record was soon broken, but this still says a lot for how skilled Theory is).

Theory was able to trade blows with the likes of Drew McIntyre. McIntyre is the same guy who had wars with the likes of Sheamus. In fact, while participating in a grueling ‘Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook’ match, McIntyre was even capable of kicking out of The Brogue Kick. The Brogue Kick is one of the most dangerous moves in all of Pro Wrestling. A referee suffered chronic neck pain when hit with the move. The Brogue Kick was stated to cause extreme nerve damage and tingling in the extremities of the victim. A move this dangerous was something that Drew McIntyre kicked out of, and Theory traded blows with McIntyre.

Theory was able to defeat Finn Balor for the United States Championship, becoming the youngest US Champion in WWE history. Now here's where I go talking about Finn Balor's skill.

Finn Balor defeated Pete Dunne, who's fighting style revolves around brawling, stiff strikes, submission grappling, and bending of his opponents fingers (Small Joint Manipulation), which will leave someone extremely handicapped in a fight, especially since wrestling is all about striking, grappling and holding, and you can't do that without functioning fingers. Pete Dunne was also the same guy who was able to solo the entire Undisputed Era by himself, and the group has been regarded as one of the most dominant factions in WWE history. The group ended up winning all of the gold in NXT at one point.

Balor was also able to give Roman Reigns a good run for his money. Roman Reigns became the 2nd man to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

The Undertaker is considered the greatest pure striker in Sports Entertainment history. Even the likes of Kurt Angle was scared to take a punch from him.

If ya don't know Kurt Angle, he's notorious for winning a gold medal with a broken neck, who is this skilled, and was named the greatest shoot wrestler ever.

Gargano is more skilled than Theory btw.
 
He can literally be standing next to them and they won't even know he's there. I imagine slitting their throats becomes much easier then.

Have these instincts worked on things they cannot see or sense?
Click to expand...
Doing these by instinct means you can react to things without having any conscious thought.

I'm pretty sure that's enough to react to something they can't see or sense.
 
These instinctive reactions seem extremely limited, though. As in, it only applies to finishers, and not dodging attacks, and even then you'd need feats of their instincts working on Kosuke's level of stealth since instincts come from the brain and if your brain cannot perceive something instincts don't apply.
 
Kosuke’s stealth is on a level that is frankly unprecedented in WWE, Instinctive Reaction could maybe help though. Also, numbers advantage does matter here, given the two could at least attempt to cover each other.

I’ll wait for more arguments before saying much else though lol
 
One thing I will say is that the fight starts 3 meters away, so I highly doubt that Kousuke can stealth GG right off the bat.
 
Once Kosuke's blade touches their body they'd be able to react to it, but beforehand while the attack is being made their brain's wouldn't be able to process it so no instincts would come into play without feats. So basically by the time they can instinctively react they've already been cut, which, to be fair, gives them the ability to lessen the damage, but not by much since piercing is busted.

I swear there's been feats of wrestlers narrowly avoiding attacks thanks to their instincts alone.

If Kosuke can stealth people standing literally right next to him, making the distance larger only makes it easier for him to stealth.
 
Also, I can 100% argue that Theory and (especially) Gargano have enough Pain Tolerance to fight through that.
 
Christian narrowly dodges Orton's attack.

Chris Jericho narrowly avoids Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb despite getting hit Hardy's Twist of Fate (other finisher), which even shocks the commentators.

This is a pretty common thing in the verse. Wrestlers even use their IR offensively as well, which is arguably more common than them using IR defensively.

Though this stealth shit will be annoying asf to deal with, but at the same time, it's still a 2v1, so The Way could potentially help each other avoid the attacks.
 
All of those videos just show me wrestlers reacting to attacks they can see and perceive tbh, where are instincts even mentioned?

The commentators state it. When wrestlers do things by instincts alone, 95% of the time, the commentators state it was done by instinct.

Maybe it's just cause I skimmed the videos, but I didn't hear the commentators say that, and even then, those are some pretty doo doo instinctive reactions.

Was doing workout so I just readed everything else after my last post.

Kousuke in this key haven't killed a human before so that's actually a barrier he would be unlikely to cross in the match (in this key he speciallized in killing monsters, like the rest of students), that's why I mentioned the thing about them wearing out do to bleeding from the cuts, which is something that they can't really counter no matter how they good is their pain tolerance since their stamina isn't at the level to defy their biology.

Also, Instinctive Reaction is super common on the verse and even then people have a hard time against Kousuke stealth, is also common in the verse people able to feel things without hearing or seeing (be it do to intention sensing, instincts or other type of supernatural senses) and even then most people can't sense him, a practical example would be how someone of Meld level was unable to sense Kousuke presence when wary until he was right besides him (and even that was only because it was someone like Meld). So is very unlikely that the WWE guys are able to sense him, which mean that they would need to use their skill to compensate and fight back, this by doing things like reacting just when they were damaged, covering the gaps of the other, things of that nature.

The Jericho link doesn't state it was done by instinct, but you're tripping if you didn't hear the commentators state that what Christian wasn't done by instinct.

So basically Kousuke would be very hesitant, or even outright refuse to kill The Way?

That makes things a lot more fair then.
