Forrest Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Not having much luck with apron spots as of late, are they? Â That kind of sums it up for me. The fact they're having multiple apron spots on such a frequent basis and they're going wrong. Apron spots are unbelievably dangerous. In fact, I don't think I had ever seen one until a year or two ago in that Jay Lethal TV title match on their TV show that went to a 15 minute draw and they agreed to restart the match until the end of the programme instead of leaving it as a draw (memories are really fragmented on this one). At the time, I winced and thought it to be a stupid move, now ROH and the X-Division seem to have over-saturated it. Apron spots should be reserved for absolutely final blood fued-ending to the death clashes as a kayfabe final resort, not 4th from top on a random card. Â Fuck apron spots. And piledrivers. How daft can you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserbee Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Surely the only way for a piledriver can be safe is if both shoulders are supported by the opponent's legs. If one leg is hanging off the apron, one shoulder has no support and the head drops too low and hits the ring. I'm just a fan and this seems obvious. Why would two professionals think this was a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2013 Is this likely to damage any shot Mike Bennett might have at the WWE in the future? Do they look at this kind of thing and immediately strike a wrestler from their thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2013 Being Maria's boyfriend and getting those shit message tattoos on his forearms has done him in, I reckon. He had been touted as being a dead cert for a good 18 months, but he got his tryout and they passed on him. I doubt this will help his chances either.

Vamp Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I guess these apron spots are done under the old Cactus Jack mentality of "they don't believe stuff hurts in the ring so I do it on the concrete." Still, he ended up alright... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they do look shit on Barrett... Â It's a tricky one, miss out on WWE or miss out on Maria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Carlito gave the secret up. He said (because he used to wear them) if you ever see anyone wearing those sleeves its because they have shit looking arms and they have been told to wear them. I think at the height of Carlito not giving a shit, he wore baggy leather trousers, long sleeves and a t-shirt. The master of the cover up. Â Here's footage of the incident. Really silly thing to do. Props to the referee for stopping the match as soon as it happened. TNA waited for the bloke to get the 10 count as he lay there not being able to move, when something happened like this a year ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=rFfDa3xidsU Edited August 4, 2013 by IANdrewDiceClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste.  Nasty looking piledriver, no protection there at all. New entrance looks pretty decent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've seen Angle and Benoit do DDTs on the apron, and they did it really safely and it was still a stupid idea. I think Angle did it once in TNA as well. Piledriver though? Terrible idea. Does ROH have road agents? You'd have thought they would have no-no'd that straight away.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) DDT's on the apron, I'm alright with because it mostly controlled by the forearm. Its pretty much an illusion. But powerbombs and piledrivers are shocking. Its all BJ Whitmers anyway. He's done these kind of bumps for years and years. Â How neither men never died from these I have no idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToRtC_R0b6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kynnG06ItaY Â ROH is full of apron bumps these days. I hate their Nigel McGuinness led hollier than thou bollocks about blading and chairshots to the head, yet they allow at least one powerbomb on the apron every show. Its retarded. I can guarantee that piledriver wasn't meant to be the finish either. I'd take a thousand chairshots to the head from a Jeff Jarrett over one piledriver on the apron.

The Cum Doctor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I mentioned that a couple of days ago. Didn't he also take a German Suplex off of the apron through a table from CM Punk or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
