Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 12, 2017 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2017 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.
pitseleh Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 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.

Ladiesman345 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Current roster wise, Goldust has to be up there.
Pinc Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Matt Hardy throws a nice punch these days. Always did like, but they've got nice and weighty as he's chubbed up with age.
Ambulance Chaser Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 It's certainly not Seth fucking Rollins, when he made that save this week, he looks like a child swimming the first time you take the armbands off.

Puncher #1 is (or should be) obvious. Oh, absolutely. And I'm probably overstating how obvious it is anyway. Puncher #1 is Lawler or Funk, surely? Few things annoy me in wrestling more than shitty punches. If you can't throw a decent punch, just don't bother. There's 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.

Guest Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 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 entrance
Paid Members marc2j Posted July 12, 2017 Paid Members Posted July 12, 2017 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.
