Bobby Eaton used to be great for the slapping sound effect - he'd slap his own arm on the last punch, it would get a perfect sound, and he'd be so quick and smooth with it that you'd never catch him doing it. Problem was, it left a big red handprint on his pasty skin.

Sabu's the king of it, though, you can pretty much never catch him doing it, but always get the sound and the timing right. He's the anti-Gargano.

If you haven't read it before, I'd recommend checking out Terry Funk's book 'More Than Just Hardcore'. I just finished it and it's fantastic stuff, Terry's got a great sense of humor and is a fantastic storyteller. The last chapter has him looking back at his career and talking about all his friends that have now passed. Heart-breaking stuff. I love that old bastard.

Bobby Eaton has the second best punch ever so I let it go. Puncher #1 is (or should be) obvious.Ā

Oh, absolutely. And I'm probably overstating how obvious it is anyway.

Puncher #1 is Lawler or Funk, surely?

Ā 

Few things annoy me in wrestling more than shitty punches. If you can't throw a decent punch, just don't bother. There'sĀ plenty of other things you could be doing instead, and nothing's more likely to make a Dad watching with his kid say, "it's all fake, look at that, he hardly touched him" than a shitty worked punch.

I love how practically every heel on Raw has ripped the piss out of that, but Seth still wears the shirt and its even part of his entranceĀ

Glad im not the only one who gets irked by shitty punches. Particularly when it descends into a brawl and one person (normally Rollins) throws really quick punches that look like your grandad playing about when he hasn't seen you in a while.
