the worst one is when a wrestler becomes a special guest referee. they take a basic closeline and they are out for lile 20 minutes but when they wrestle they can take 40 chairshots and get straight back up
Its their health bars. Refs only have about 10 health and get knocked out so easily for long times, tv matches wrestlers have around 5000 health and in ppv matches they seem to have 15000 health which is why they always kick out of at least one finisher
Right? Like.. we're really going with the ruling of ONE ref trying to keep up with anywhere from 2-10+ people at one time, assuming they even manage to stay conscious through an entire match, as the final say in every single match (except when suddenly storyline dictates otherwise)??? Especially when you sometimes even have one, possibly multiple wrestlers, occasionally even an announcer, and of course actual camera footage (which is already inevitably being replayed immediately afterwards) saying "yo, you missed some absolute cheating bullshit and your ruling is wrong"?? Like.. c'mon bro. I get it back in the pre-TV days, but at this point, it's just absurd
Would like to add one, that is when hot tagging especially on Babyface superstars side, when they are struggling so much to reach their partner to tag . Lol
Lol right?? "I am so beat up, I can't even get to my feet and must CRAWL to my corner. But I TOTALLY have enough energy to suddenly LEAP the last 8 feet to make that hot tag, no problem." Makes perfect sense
Then there's the hilarious logic behind backstage fights. A heel will beat up a face for 3 minutes straight and no one will show up but if a face attacks a heel suddenly WWE security, referees, WWE officials, and half the roster will show up in seconds to pull the face off the heel
Happens in the ring too. Refs will let the heel smother the other guy in the corner forever. But will pull the babyface off if he so much even considers doing it (bonus points when the heel takes advantage with a thunk to the eye). Damn biased refs xD
Let's add the fact that when a 'superstar' hits one of their 'secondary' moves, they act like it's beyond the realm of possibility that their opponent kicks out, even though that move has NEVER resulted in a pinfall!!

The ladders one is so true! Whenever I watched WWE with my parents back then, they were always wondering why the hell they go so slow. They know it’s scripted but still, it looks ridiculous, like come on guys.
I always thought they go slow bc they are just tired . Like if there is ladder match , they first fight for like 10-20 min before anyone tries to go climb a ladder so its logical hes already tired and have less energy and thats why he goes slow
i started watching Raw/Smachdown recent at the start of Smackdown, and it is funny to see Earl trying to not look at them cheating. He'll look and quickly look away like nope they aren't done.
Same for any ladder match involving the briefcase or a championship. They’ll take ages to climb towards the prize that they’ve wanted for weeks, months, or possibly years to have. Makes no sense.
Something even worse than this is when they climb to a rung that obviously isn’t high enough, and still try to reach for the briefcase. This happens even when they’re not tired
And is it just me or does it always seem like heels recover faster than faces? I bet a heel hit on the head with a chair would recover faster than a face simply poked in the eyes
One thing that comes to my mind immediately: A Wrestler climbing a ladder only half way and then trying to reach the belt/briefcase. Why would someone not make sure to win and climb all the way
I love how they're suppose to be unconscious when they put the sleeper hold on and just when their arms are down for the 3count they suddenly wake up from the dead and raise their hands up. 😂🤣
The taunting that always used to get me was when Eddie would climb up to do his frog splash. He'd be doing his whole shtick and the opponent would just have to lie there for ages. Then the commentators would sometimes be surprised that the opponent ducked out of the way when he finally went for a dive. Half the time they'd had enough time to get up, go get a coffee, have a bathroom break and come back by the time he was finally ready to do the dive.
In a big fan of Eddie but I have to agree with this because the crowds already hyped up when he climbed the turnbuckle, so I don't think there's a need to do a second taunt on the top rope since he gives a signal to the fans when he's feeling froggy already.
Santino Marella's Cobra never bothered me that much; you just have to pretend it's hitting the person in the throat. That kind of strike would be legitimately dangerous if done for real.
Dude, you gotta fill up that taunt meter to make your finisher as devestating as possible. ALSO that's the reason WHY certain finishers are deadlier than their generic counterparts. Not only is the wrestler especially skilled with that particular move, but by adding the Taunt, the damage has been multiplied. Duh 🙄 😆
One spot that didn't make sense was when a high-flyer climbs up the ladder in a ladder match (Jeff Hardy), he doesn't focus on the belts or prop, he does a high-risk move on an opponent (most likely, on a table).
That's why characters are important. Jeff Hardy is a charismatic enigma, a daredevil. Characters like that prefer to do crazier stuff than to actually win. This is the type of stuff you expect from Darby Allin also and not characters like Edge, Roman and Miz who just wants to win regardless.
@@mico5536 Edge spear Jeff Hardy from mid-air, he also spear Mick foley though a table in flame so...maybe if we talk about the Edge from 2022 but it's more about the security of his real health than is character.
@@AmiralNitto That's the problem with edge. He's a major opportunist then he does those extreme things, he's just supposed to win and not put himself on danger. That's a flaw to his character. But then again those said opponents are also extreme as well so he might want to be extreme as well. But my point still stands.
@@AmiralNitto edge speared jeff hardy who was hanging onto the title. If you remember that match. So he prevented jeff from winning the title at that moment of time.
You forgot about how wrestler’s who are chasing another wrestler can’t follow them outside of the ring ropes, it’s like there’s a barrier. All they can do is point and yell after that,
but that's the case. they'll be counted out if they follow. unless the ref isn't counting for some odd reason. and 1 guy rolling into the ring for a sec restarts the count for both??? and how is a 3-count like 3 seconds, but a ring-out 10-count takes over a minute?
@@OB1KXB he’s not talking about when it’s a match, usually if there’s a fight or something and one wrestler get out of the ring why doesn’t the other one just chase them.
I used to produce a wrestling show for a local TV station and one of the things they asked me in the first meeting was if we could have a microphone in the ring to hear what the wrestlers were saying to each other. They didn't realise that the wrestlers weren't just "talking smack". Also, knowing wrestlers, a lot of it probably wouldn't be broadcastable.
The Rock Losing to the hurricane on Raw in 2003 Austin Vs Rock III was an amazing Match Hollywood Rock was absolutely hilarious especially when he did the Rock Concert in Sacramento before Wrestlemania 19

11. That bounce off the ropes... duck under their arm... off the ropes again ... jump over the wrestler... roll under their jump and stand there staring at eachother for 5seconds move 🤣🤣🤣
In almost two decades of watching pro wrestling -- mostly WWF/WWE-- I've long since decided to treat it like cartoons: Watch; and don't ask any questions (especially in regards to the supernatural characters).
Same here. That reminds me of what I once read about lucha libre; that it's basically a superhero show in the ring. People want to suspend their disbelief and enjoy the storylines and the over-the-top action as an escape from the real world for a short while.
A long, long time ago I remember them commenting on finishing moves for wrestlers by saying the ones that use them as finishers had 'mastered' the move to an extent that it was just more devastating when they use it.
I see it in EVERY tag team match: The partner outside is reeeeaaching as faaaarr as they can to tag in, but their feet are still planted in the corner, and the arm holding the tag rope is bent at the elbow.
Frog Splashes are VERY painful to receive AND do especially with how high RVD likes to jump. But the thing is it might actually hurt RVD more because he is a relatively smaller guy compared to some of the wrestlers he fought. That said it's probably just selling.
The frog splash. Almost every time it is used in a match, other than the finish, the wrestler who is using the move gets injured by the contact just as much as the preson receiving it and they both roll around on the mat in "pain."
And number 11, What about to those wrestlers who sell seth rollins' finisher how they get up looking down waiting to be stomped it just looks rediculors man.
What makes no sense to me in wrestling is how nobody has ever come up with a counter to (say it with me and Simon) The Most Devastating Move In Professional Wrestling, The Surprise Roll-Up.
The counter to the People’s Elbow is to bring a pillow to the ring and, place it on your chest right before it lands. Counteracts the elbow pad removal.
As a kid, my brother would use the small package on me and to this day have no idea how to get out quick enough. Some of us are just unfortunately crappy at kicking out of a roll up pin in 2 seconds.
Particularly when it comes to Ric & Charlotte Flair, one thing I've never understood is the excess use of theatrics before a submission move is applied. The wrestler about to be put in the move is expected to just lie there & wait despite escape being easy.
I never understood why they stop a pin if someone kicks the person pinning someone. The guy didn't kick out and the person pinning didn't stand up so why stop counting? That was always one thing that stood out to me as needing changed.
I've always looked at that as a rule within the ring. It's not that the person isn't being pinned anymore but the pin is being disrupted and therefore the count can't continue.
The pin was invalidated by an illegal man entering the ring; essentially, the ref's priority changed to 'get the illegal guy out' over 'continuing the pincount'.
Also why they always go for a pin after executing a move that’s not a finisher thinking that they will get the victory only for the opponent to kick out
For the second point, I've always seen it as the wrestler being able to do their finisher more effectively than another could. All boxers punch, but they don't all punch with the same force.
Actors in Movies and Shows have MANY do-overs/rehearsals...they can fail and try again. But unfortunately wrestlers don't have that luxury...they have to make sure to be perfect each and every live show so they get my respect for that alone.
My question is Do they rehearse all the match before? I mean yes, I know how wrestlers converse during the match! But is it there like some kind of practice before? Like, How everything goes back to back? I've seen one match of hhh and rock rehearsing.
I don't know if it's necessarily the PG era that makes it so we don't see some of the violence or chair shots to the head. I think it's more concussion and CTE concerns than anything.
My friend has his own kayfabe reason why Shawn Michael's Sweet Chin Music is much more deadly than any other wrestler's super kick. Compared to guys like Young Bucks or luchadors, Shawn would put all of his weight to his leg, would know what right part of his opponent's to hit, and deliver with the right force to make his super kick aka Sweet Chin Music much more damaging to most wrestlers besides main event/legend leveled guys.
He also throws a shuffle side kick (crosses his feet before the kick) in reality that actual does generate a lot more power than a regular side kick (I'm a kickboxer). Either way it doesn't really matter from a sports entertainment perspective its just the nature of the beast that a popular wrestlers finisher eventually becomes a normal move
Plus Shawn Michaels would tune up the band, that was his version of powering up... his surprise super kicks were never as effective as a well tuned sweet chin music.
If you compare Chris's superkick to Shawn's and apply the same logic, the originator of the superkick would've literally killed everyone he hit with that thing.
One thing I never understood was for the Irish whip, why does the wrestler who’s throwing the other always bend down after? It never made sense to me to do that
@@FazeRustyNuts he named the actual name of the move "Back Body Drop" so people could look it up. So he added more information to what was said, not "copied a comment"
Going through a wood table always made me roll my eyes. When a wrestler is put through a table he sells it like it’s terribly painful, but if anything, it’s equal or even less painful than simply hitting the mat.
@@antwancampbell9230 I can understand something like that, for a quick pin to maybe wear down stamina and at least add drama to the match. It's more annoying when it's something like a devastating DDT or superplex, but it's just not special enough.
I'm surprised that no one is talking about HOT TAG...... I mean, the person literally smacks the opponent like they got superstrength and the very next second they are struggling to even stand up and they just crawl to their partner......WHAT???
Lol a few get me and always have done. Cage match: why climb over the top when u can exit through the door (which shouldn’t even be there). Also it shouldn’t be to exit the cage (as that looks cowardly) it should be last one standing in the cage. My other is royal rumble. People get picked up and slammed. Don’t slam just throw them out. Rant over 😂
The first cage match I ever saw was Hogan vs. Bundy in Wrestlemania 2 and the cage had a door. I presumed it was because Bundy was too big to be climbing that high.
Dives have always bothered me in wrestling. I don't understand why a wrestler or a group of wrestlers have to stand still and catch their opponent.Yes I understand it's a safety thing but they can simply move or sidestep.
Nah it makes sense that the music distracts them, cuz they focus on getting not attacked by their rival instead of the match itself. It makes sense in ladder matches when they are in it for a long time, cuz if it would be real you still would be exhausted. Taunts makes sense. I mean it makes sense to disrespect the crowd or your opponment, or get the fans behind you.

Father was Kryptonite, Uncle was Corpone Hank, Brother David Fury.) and as someone who may or may not become one myself, the original commentor is correct.

@@tomv2063 Glad we came to the agreement that using L is a trash trend and isn't any, of value in a conversation. Of course every generation has some bad eggs. To be fair though, gen z has the most trash trends in comparison of previous generations. Hell even people have become pussified, especially if you go on Twitter. Examples any and all dances that have shown up on Tiktok and Fortnite. Tide pods, Gorilla Glue Girl. "Memes" that have existed in the last 5 to 10 years with only a few actually being funny, till it gets ruined after people keep spamming it months after it died. All rap music became Autotune which means you can have 0 talent and still be called a decent Rapper... Looking at you Sound Cloud. The only "good" thing of this generation is the technology advancement. Hell even WWE is not doing good now after releasing almost every star on it's roster. Imo cancel culture kinda killed wrestling for tv's cause people don't want to offend anyone anymore. Half of what made Wrestling big today would have gotten "canceled" especially early Cena whose character was sexist and racist. So yes this generation is definitely worse than previous ones.
i would like to add during a tag match when the baby face on the outside keeps arguing with the ref, distracting him from seeing the heels cheating. like just step back out onto the apron and let him turn around and DQ the heels
I’d argue that by doing taunts, the wrestler is proving just how in control of the match they are that they can actually take the time to do their taunt and STILL hit their move instead of just hitting their move. Actually makes more sense when you think about it. Of course there are instances where they do take too long doing their taunt, and the next time they have their opponent in the same predicament, they either rush the taunt or hit the move immediately to avoid being countered again.
What? This isn't a weird thing. Most people can stop doing what they were about to do straight away. You think if someone kicks out at 2 and a half that you wouldn't be able to stop your hand from hitting the mat? Sounds like you might have some hand-eye coordination/reflex problems. You would be awful at that green light game in Squid Games.
My #1 is the dropkick. Why does it only hurt the wrestler when they miss the move but never when they connect? Is it because they hit the ground? Then by that logic every wrestler should sell it lol
@@Mr_Leo_DS kinda reminds me of an old sega game called wrestle war. When you suplex your opponent, he gets damaged but, you need time to recover before getting back up.
I'm surprised these two things weren't on the list. 1. If a referee gets kicked he/she is down for 10 minutes. 2. The fact that when a match is won the person who got pinned just rolls out of the ring perfectly fine. Why didn't they do that to save themself from a loss? Also just a quick thing how do you feel about brock winning the Championship? I think it was stupid because Brock vs Reigns was one of Reigns biggest challenges and now he's champion and they are still in a rival? It's dumb in my opinion, let me know yours.
Opinions 1.I totally agree!!! A simple push to the shoulder all of a sudden looks like they've suffered a concussion 2. The person who got pinned rolls out the ring just fine is because they are too tired to wrestle and take damage anymore
I think the ref thing is to sell that the wrestlers are these larger than life people, while the refs are just ordinary. I guess it makes the wrestlers seem stronger when they can take all these hits but anyone else can’t
The wrestlers position themselves for Randy Orton’s DDT of the ropes instead of moving their feet away. Similarly the set themselves up for Seth Rollin’s curb stomp, Rey Mysterio’s 619s Booker T’s finisher and Shawn Michael’s SweetyChin Music despite his stomp taunt to signal the move.
How about when a wrestler celebrates a win for a title, but won by DQ or count out and doesn’t get the belt and starts stomping around the ring and/or cuts the standard shout promo? Don’t you know the rules by now?
I completely understand where he's coming from but Wrestling, just like other TV shows and Movies have actors who follows a script and must work together to bring that script to life. Many Movies and Shows have cliché moments but we mostly overlook them because we understand those tropes are here to stay. Like a Horror movie will always have the jock, the virgin, the naughty girl, the stoner, the comedic, etc...and someone will fall while running from the killer or the car won't start when the killer is approaching them. So yeah, there's many examples we can use but you get the point.🤗
I think it's because of the how long the match they want match look reality so the fun to see a good match and so when they so when they climb the ladder it makes you seem like they are tired and worn out that's why they climb slow I'm guessing butt if everyone else is laid out why not get up there quick
Sheamus's Ten beats of the Bodrum (or whatever) and Randy Orton's middle-rope DDT are especially frustrating as you need the opponent to get in position within the ropes for them
I've been waiting for a video like this lol. So many times I've said these things. Why do they climb so slow???? Why do they run back from being thrown to the ropes and not fall????
I think there needs to be a reassessment of kayfabe A lot of these things can just be tweaked with some extra attention to psychology. These old rules are just outdated and changing them would be refreshing as well as show a new Era. I think the death of kayfabe should be acknowledged in kayfabe to help usher in the new Era.
About the “why don’t wrestlers steal finishers”. They do. It’s a common heel trope to steal your opponents finisher as a show of disrespect to their opponent and to the sport in general kayfabe wise. If modern wrestlers all used the same move, not only would it kill possible heel heat by having the occasional finisher steal in a big rivalry, it would kill the move’s heat like what happened with superkicks. Just imagine how piledrivers were in the Attitude Era. Devastating move but rendered a mid match spot by its overuse.
The great thing about distractions is that the audience will also turn to watch the ramp. So they get distracted as well, which makes it understandable when wrestlers do it.
It actually makes the whole thing worse. That's why the distracted wrestler has to spend 10-30 seconds trembling in fear of a phantom interference, as the whole match effectively stops to give the audience time to stop looking at the entrance and return to watching the ring to see the inevitable surprise roll-up.
Being distracted by theme music actually makes sense as it signals a potential threat. Playing your theme music, forfeiting the element of surprise, when you’re the attacker is what makes no sense.

Same for any ladder match involving the briefcase or a championship. They’ll take ages to climb towards the prize that they’ve wanted for weeks, months, or possibly years to have. Makes no sense.
Yeah tru. I was like “DUFE WTF ARE U DOIN GET UP THERE. NOW”
Money in the bank causes osteoporosis in feds booked by vince didn't you know
Something even worse than this is when they climb to a rung that obviously isn’t high enough, and still try to reach for the briefcase. This happens even when they’re not tired
"Dang, it's time to clean the gutters again."
*6 days later.*
"Why'd I come up here?"
Face: Early Advantage
Heel: Takes control later on
Face: Makes a comeback
Then, we wait to see how the match plays out in the end
Except for squash matches, it seems like all matches follow this script
if you train to be a wrestler you learn there are 7 stages to a wrestling match so your almost there
Especially when the heel takes control it's in some sort of hold
And is it just me or does it always seem like heels recover faster than faces? I bet a heel hit on the head with a chair would recover faster than a face simply poked in the eyes

WWE forced Lita to have sex with Edge
I love how they're suppose to be unconscious when they put the sleeper hold on and just when their arms are down for the 3count they suddenly wake up from the dead and raise their hands up. 😂🤣
The taunting that always used to get me was when Eddie would climb up to do his frog splash. He'd be doing his whole shtick and the opponent would just have to lie there for ages. Then the commentators would sometimes be surprised that the opponent ducked out of the way when he finally went for a dive. Half the time they'd had enough time to get up, go get a coffee, have a bathroom break and come back by the time he was finally ready to do the dive.
In a big fan of Eddie but I have to agree with this because the crowds already hyped up when he climbed the turnbuckle, so I don't think there's a need to do a second taunt on the top rope since he gives a signal to the fans when he's feeling froggy already.

Taunts are an important part of character. Guys like Undertaker and Cena would be missing something without their taunts.
Dude, you gotta fill up that taunt meter to make your finisher as devestating as possible.
ALSO that's the reason WHY certain finishers are deadlier than their generic counterparts. Not only is the wrestler especially skilled with that particular move, but by adding the Taunt, the damage has been multiplied.

One spot that didn't make sense was when a high-flyer climbs up the ladder in a ladder match (Jeff Hardy), he doesn't focus on the belts or prop, he does a high-risk move on an opponent (most likely, on a table).
That's why characters are important. Jeff Hardy is a charismatic enigma, a daredevil. Characters like that prefer to do crazier stuff than to actually win. This is the type of stuff you expect from Darby Allin also and not characters like Edge, Roman and Miz who just wants to win regardless.
@@mico5536 Edge spear Jeff Hardy from mid-air, he also spear Mick foley though a table in flame so...maybe if we talk about the Edge from 2022 but it's more about the security of his real health than is character.
@@AmiralNitto That's the problem with edge. He's a major opportunist then he does those extreme things, he's just supposed to win and not put himself on danger. That's a flaw to his character. But then again those said opponents are also extreme as well so he might want to be extreme as well. But my point still stands.
@@AmiralNitto edge speared jeff hardy who was hanging onto the title. If you remember that match. So he prevented jeff from winning the title at that moment of time.

You forgot about how wrestler’s who are chasing another wrestler can’t follow them outside of the ring ropes, it’s like there’s a barrier. All they can do is point and yell after that,
but that's the case. they'll be counted out if they follow. unless the ref isn't counting for some odd reason. and 1 guy rolling into the ring for a sec restarts the count for both??? and how is a 3-count like 3 seconds, but a ring-out 10-count takes over a minute?

I used to produce a wrestling show for a local TV station and one of the things they asked me in the first meeting was if we could have a microphone in the ring to hear what the wrestlers were saying to each other. They didn't realise that the wrestlers weren't just "talking smack". Also, knowing wrestlers, a lot of it probably wouldn't be broadcastable.

@@Azeeeer not true cute answer. but keep trying. Use don’t only use Google next time
In almost two decades of watching pro wrestling -- mostly WWF/WWE-- I've long since decided to treat it like cartoons:
Watch;
and don't ask any questions (especially in regards to the supernatural characters).
Same here. That reminds me of what I once read about lucha libre; that it's basically a superhero show in the ring. People want to suspend their disbelief and enjoy the storylines and the over-the-top action as an escape from the real world for a short while.
A long, long time ago I remember them commenting on finishing moves for wrestlers by saying the ones that use them as finishers had 'mastered' the move to an extent that it was just more devastating when they use it.
I like this, this is solid enough for me lol
I see it in EVERY tag team match: The partner outside is reeeeaaching as faaaarr as they can to tag in, but their feet are still planted in the corner, and the arm holding the tag rope is bent at the elbow.
Pretty sure their feet touching the floor is a rule, but the other bit is just dumb
I always wonder why RVD always seems more injured when doing the frog splash compared the the opponent receiving it
Cause it probably does hurt him as well, he just sells it more than other wrestlers doing the splash
Coz it’s 5 star dur
Frog Splashes are VERY painful to receive AND do especially with how high RVD likes to jump. But the thing is it might actually hurt RVD more because he is a relatively smaller guy compared to some of the wrestlers he fought. That said it's probably just selling.
It's all about the drama and "intensity" and the unknown. However, a lot of stuff doesn't make since at all in the WWE.

@@Mr_Leo_DS And supposedly the fans, which they never have listened.
The frog splash. Almost every time it is used in a match, other than the finish, the wrestler who is using the move gets injured by the contact just as much as the preson receiving it and they both roll around on the mat in "pain."
It's a move of punishment for a worthy combatant. It tells them " I will hurt myself to hurt you even more". More of a taunting move.
I thought that's only when RVD hits it.
@@TheRuns2 RVD was in more in pain doing the move than the actually person receiving the move lmao

almost as ridiculous as that spelling
😂😂
In Canada, it's spelled "rediculours"
What makes no sense to me in wrestling is how nobody has ever come up with a counter to (say it with me and Simon) The Most Devastating Move In Professional Wrestling, The Surprise Roll-Up.
Its "sports entertainment" not "wrestling"
The counter to the roll up is to keep on rolling.
The counter to the People’s Elbow is to bring a pillow to the ring and, place it on your chest right before it lands. Counteracts the elbow pad removal.
As a kid, my brother would use the small package on me and to this day have no idea how to get out quick enough. Some of us are just unfortunately crappy at kicking out of a roll up pin in 2 seconds.
Uh, no? It's pretty common to counter roll ups
Particularly when it comes to Ric & Charlotte Flair, one thing I've never understood is the excess use of theatrics before a submission move is applied. The wrestler about to be put in the move is expected to just lie there & wait despite escape being easy.
But I wonder if just turning your body will reverse the move? 🤔
I never understood why they stop a pin if someone kicks the person pinning someone. The guy didn't kick out and the person pinning didn't stand up so why stop counting? That was always one thing that stood out to me as needing changed.
I've always looked at that as a rule within the ring. It's not that the person isn't being pinned anymore but the pin is being disrupted and therefore the count can't continue.
The pin was invalidated by an illegal man entering the ring; essentially, the ref's priority changed to 'get the illegal guy out' over 'continuing the pincount'.
IKRRR OMG
Also why they always go for a pin after executing a move that’s not a finisher thinking that they will get the victory only for the opponent to kick out
@@fadafada4347 the point of the match is to win. A finisher shouldn't always be what ends a match as it would make things too predictable.
For the second point, I've always seen it as the wrestler being able to do their finisher more effectively than another could. All boxers punch, but they don't all punch with the same force.
Exactly
awesome point ngl
Exactly like taking a punch from Riddle is way different from taking a punch from Lesnar
What about when wrestlers stop people getting eliminated from Battle Royals or Royal rumbles
Or they act like they can't just pick them up and throw them out the ring
Omg that always used to piss me off. What part of “every man/woman for themselves” do they not get?
Actors in Movies and Shows have MANY do-overs/rehearsals...they can fail and try again. But unfortunately wrestlers don't have that luxury...they have to make sure to be perfect each and every live show so they get my respect for that alone.

But is it there like some kind of practice before? Like, How everything goes back to back?

You had me laughing at "the inability to climb ladders"
I don't know if it's necessarily the PG era that makes it so we don't see some of the violence or chair shots to the head. I think it's more concussion and CTE concerns than anything.
My friend has his own kayfabe reason why Shawn Michael's Sweet Chin Music is much more deadly than any other wrestler's super kick. Compared to guys like Young Bucks or luchadors, Shawn would put all of his weight to his leg, would know what right part of his opponent's to hit, and deliver with the right force to make his super kick aka Sweet Chin Music much more damaging to most wrestlers besides main event/legend leveled guys.
He also throws a shuffle side kick (crosses his feet before the kick) in reality that actual does generate a lot more power than a regular side kick (I'm a kickboxer). Either way it doesn't really matter from a sports entertainment perspective its just the nature of the beast that a popular wrestlers finisher eventually becomes a normal move
Plus Shawn Michaels would tune up the band, that was his version of powering up... his surprise super kicks were never as effective as a well tuned sweet chin music.
Thank you to all 3 posts above me for literally saying EXACTLY what has always been my own personal headcanon
If you compare Chris's superkick to Shawn's and apply the same logic, the originator of the superkick would've literally killed everyone he hit with that thing.

My argument to your rumble remark is if you don't tire out your opponents first he'll be more able to resist and fight back
And i would add about the steel cage match when the babyface of the match climbs the cage not to exit but make a highrisk dive to the opponent

Half of what made Wrestling big today would have gotten "canceled" especially early Cena whose character was sexist and racist. So yes this generation is definitely worse than previous ones.
i would like to add during a tag match when the baby face on the outside keeps arguing with the ref, distracting him from seeing the heels cheating. like just step back out onto the apron and let him turn around and DQ the heels
I’d argue that by doing taunts, the wrestler is proving just how in control of the match they are that they can actually take the time to do their taunt and STILL hit their move instead of just hitting their move. Actually makes more sense when you think about it. Of course there are instances where they do take too long doing their taunt, and the next time they have their opponent in the same predicament, they either rush the taunt or hit the move immediately to avoid being countered again.
I like when the ref counts to 2 and a half. His third hand swing stops halfway. What is he psychic?
Lmao word I'm dying laughing cause it's true
Yooo this is true 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What? This isn't a weird thing. Most people can stop doing what they were about to do straight away.

1.I totally agree!!! A simple push to the shoulder all of a sudden looks like they've suffered a concussion
2. The person who got pinned rolls out the ring just fine is because they are too tired to wrestle and take damage anymore
I reckon they let Brock win in order to let Lashley win back the title from a credible opponent elevating Lashley further.

Lack of logic made Vince a billionaire. Says a lot about people.
I admit, moves that obviously require the target to cooperate do bug the hell out of me. I absolutely HATE the Styles Clash for this reason.
Or the 619 too since the wrestler receiving the move has to drop to the ropes perfectly which is really difficult to believe.
Sheamus's Ten beats of the Bodrum (or whatever) and Randy Orton's middle-rope DDT are especially frustrating as you need the opponent to get in position within the ropes for them
How do you watch wrestling then?

Love your videos
About the “why don’t wrestlers steal finishers”. They do. It’s a common heel trope to steal your opponents finisher as a show of disrespect to their opponent and to the sport in general kayfabe wise. If modern wrestlers all used the same move, not only would it kill possible heel heat by having the occasional finisher steal in a big rivalry, it would kill the move’s heat like what happened with superkicks. Just imagine how piledrivers were in the Attitude Era. Devastating move but rendered a mid match spot by its overuse.
I agree that taunts don’t make sense it wastes tine
Taunts are used in real fights... guess real fight don't make any sense huh
bruh, If WWE notices and acknowledges this, we're more likely going back to Attitude Era or Ruthless Agression Era
The great thing about distractions is that the audience will also turn to watch the ramp. So they get distracted as well, which makes it understandable when wrestlers do it.
It actually makes the whole thing worse. That's why the distracted wrestler has to spend 10-30 seconds trembling in fear of a phantom interference, as the whole match effectively stops to give the audience time to stop looking at the entrance and return to watching the ring to see the inevitable surprise roll-up.
@@BainesMkII Hmm, an interesting take :)
Being distracted by theme music actually makes sense as it signals a potential threat. Playing your theme music, forfeiting the element of surprise, when you’re the attacker is what makes no sense.
