Paid Members Bettencourt Posted November 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) According to a report about a NJPW live event on pwinsider.com, Yoshitatsu suffered a neck injury from a Styles Clash. Dangerous move. Â Shouldn't have been scared and nervous to then fuck up his chin tucking, to paraphrase Mr. Styles.

Loki Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Watch the crowd completely fail to react to the Styles Clash... Â Not AJ's fault that, to be fair. Â A lot of finishers are dangerous if you fuck them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yoshitatsu took the blame for it after the match. Shouldn't have tucked his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) There was a Brit wrestler who got injured taking a Styles Clash and said it was because wrestlers have it drilled into them to always tuck their chin in when taking a bump - obviously there are times when they shouldn't such as when taking a Styles Clash but he said his instincts took over and he tucked it in anyway. Looks like the same happened there. Nasty landing. Edited November 22, 2014 by Undefeated Steak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 Everyone knows how to take a Styles Clash, yet this keeps happening. Like Steaky said, it goes against instinct not to tuck your chin. I know it isn't AJ's fault at all, but it's probably time to retire that finish before somebody ends up in a wheelchair. If I was him and knew that a few guys had suffered neck injuries from it I wouldn't want to do it any more. Â Does he still do the Spiral Tap?

Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yes, but he can't do that properly. Look at how he lands it- differently every time. It's a sloppy and potentially dangerous mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I've thought for a while Styles must be a tad thick to continue doing this manoeuvre given the injuries it has caused. Â Whilst I appreciate he'll say it's not his fault, and the opponents should not tuck their headsnot, I think he's reckless in continuing to do this move. Do a spear or something.

Undefeated Steak Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I was going to suggest he uses a springboard splash as a finisher before he takes somebody's eye out. But then again  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure that springboard cock up was a work. I remember there being a bit of discussion about it at the time. That was the start of the "AJ's life is falling apart" angle, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
