Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2019 The stupidest spot in wrestling actually happens in almost every match. The Irish whip. What a load of bollocks. Just think about this logically and apply human physics for a moment. Somebody grabs their opponent and pushes them into a set of ropes. They turn and land perfectly, giving a catapult effect. How in the fuck would this happen in real life?? The gif above from Santino mocks and exposes the entire spot for what it is- bollocks.

The King Of Swing Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The "ref clearly slows his count down to allow a pin breakup" stuff needs fucking off. Japan is the absolute worst for this. Another one I've noticed in Joshi lately, is one wrestler lightly pushing another wrestler and she does a forward roll into a seated position. Looks piss weak and I don't know why they do it.

Undefeated Steak Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hm, I'm not usually a fan of the stuff like that in the first post, but I don't think that one is particularly offensive compared to others. It actually looks clean for a spot that dangerous and there's a reasonable sized crowd there. I don't doubt though that it's stupid and unnecessary. Someone posted a powerbomb from a ladder through a table spot where the guy taking the bump got straight back up, ate a pile driver and then still kicked out. That's far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gif is pretty fucking stupid but at least it looks like a mental last ditch attempt to buy some time. This spot was far stupider  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the DVD it looks like they let it settle in for the crowd and sell it accordingly (although it wouldn't supprise me if I found out it wasn't the finish) but that powebomb with the no sell was beyond stupid in a different yet somehow more offensive way. And that bit of living dangerously is up there. New Jack yanking the fatty off the scaffolding was doomed to end badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted May 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2019 This one always gets my vote for stupidest spot. Anything that high impact, where the first thing to hit the mat is your opponents face was never going to end well. The video cuts out just before the ref hesitates to count the 3, because this wasn't even intended as the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 The Moonsault Styles Clash is bad because Mike Sydal didn't want to take it but Spyral did it anyway. It knocked him out, gave him a serious concussion, broke his thumb and put him on the shelf for a while. Another guy in the match, Devon Moore, was selling on the outside and all he could hear was Mike repeatedly saying "No no no, don't do it!". Spyral was put in a wheelchair a few years later after landing badly on a 630 and then died soon after. Man, the board is depressing today.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
