I simply don't understand why it makes a difference. Pre-planning the whole thing beforehand is hardly "cheating" or anything. If anything, it can lead to more potential difficulties. To quote the following Rammsteinmad post, "a good match is a good match though, whether it's rehearsed move-for-move or done on the fly."

Especially once you get out there and start forgetting things and everything goes to shit. Once you deviate from "the script" they start losing their cool.

At the end of the day, a good match is a good match though, whether it's rehearsed move-for-move or done on the fly.
dunno, only ever really found it frustrating if the other guy forgets everything and it was their idea. Planning things out is especially useful when you first start out. Never had somebody lose their cool with it tho, guys that have forgotten stuff usually seem to be relieved that you either remember or are simply calling something. That said, before I'd even had my first match, I was at a show being ran by the guys/fed I trained with and they had a no show and I was put "on standby" and spent 5 minutes having a guy speed talk his way through an entire match. In that case it would have been awful and it just made me about 300x more nervous but they wound up doing something else. Basically, I just don't see a problem either way. Ideally (for me) you call the start, a few hope/cutoffs and your finish and do the rest on the fly. If not, no big deal, never made me think less of anybody else.
