What catches my attention about Mr. Perfect saving Jericho is once Jericho is on the mat safely, the look on his face is the biggest look of relief I’ve ever seen. His whole life flashed before his eyes and it was the quick thinking of Mr. Perfect that saved his career and possibly his life.
IMO what else did you expect from Mr. Perfect? Many wrestlers called wrestling him "a day off". He was known as a very safe and careful Wresler, who was on the other hand willing to bump his ass off for you. But in that case, so glad he lived up to his reputation.
Honorable mention, Baron Corbin saving Dolph Ziggler from falling on his head after a high speed tumble over the ring stairs, and then turned it into a seemless deep 6
Mad props to Baron Corbin. I'm fed up with people pretending he's not great.
Fair play to Adam not reference the blue meanie and JBL and instead going with APA 😂😂
True 😂😅
What is this in reference to? Certainly nothing that's featured in these lists at all...
@@Joe90h He mentions the APA intended on harming other wrestlers but usually on lists people are quick to mention JBL intended on shooting on the blue meanie and did by busting him open hard way
@@brentsmith9134 So this is the Montreal Screwjob everyone refers to? ;)
As someone else mentioned: Honorable mention to (surprisingly) Ryback for saving Kallisto's life during a preshow match. I remember being terrified as I saw him coming down wrong.
I swear, Ryback's final kick-off matches were great, and I think a good chunk of it was him, not just Kalisto.
Styles probably knew Elsworth was out of place because he didn't feel his head against his taint, which is where it would be if he hadn't tucked it in.
Nah, he checked Ellsworths position. After that English wrestler broke his neck during the styles clash because he tucked his chin, AJ became extra aware.
@@jimbo_1312 True, but how could he tell that Elsworth did, when he has no chin to tuck?😂
It's his finisher, so u can say he can tell by the feeling in his legs and hips if someone has their head in the wrong place because he's been using this move forever and if u did that you'd be able to tell if someone wasn't placed right
i think logan bought a lot of goodwill from fans with that
I might not think much of him as a person, but he clearly respects the obligations one has when they step in the ring. I can respect that.
@@MyPisceanNatureagreed. I was ready to write him off as another David Arquette publicity stunt, but he's proven just how much he actually takes the business seriously, on several occasions. I still don't like him as a person, but I'm growing to respect him as a performer. He has definitely showed a commitment to the craft I didn't initially expect from him.
Logan Paul is a prime example of "hate him as a person, but god damn, is a good wrestler." He's shown that a number of times. I think that one is one of the biggest examples, though, of him not only taking it seriously, but knowing enough of about what is and isn't safe in the ring to correct it when necessary to protect someone.
“bought”, or EARNED?
@SkunkApe407 To be fair to David Arquette, he took it seriously, too. He's not as talented, but it wasn't his fault Vince Russo thought it was hilarious to destroy the top prize of WCW.
Brody Lee's real name was Jonathan Huber, he used the name Brody Lee even pre-AEW because he bore a resemblance to Jason Lee, and he played a character in Mallrats called Brodie
I have to admit it: as a person I don't like Logan, but as a wrestler he obtained my respect.
He does flips really good. Still a dbag.
Plenty of amazing professional wrestlers have done some awful things. You can applaud their skill while villifying them. You don't need a strong moral compass to nail a picture perfect moonsault.
R.I.P Brodie, always a legend and always looking after the boys! Miss you big man
No Ryback saving Kallisto during Mania 32 Kickoff?
Scared the f out of me. Props to skip
Jericho's scariest spot was at Havoc 97. I remember he said he hasn't and will never watch the Frankensteiner again. If only he could've been saved from that one. 😅
I never thought Shane looked much like Vince but at 7:08 I saw it.
I don’t know that you can say you saved a dude from injury when you’re responsible for the potential injury in the first place. I mean, props to Paul for catching Rey, that’s quick thinking, but that wasn’t him saving Rey so much as it was him covering his own mistake.
No Ryback saving Kalisto huh...
Nope, it's a CZcams wrestling channel they're legally not allowed to say anything positive about Ryback
Another shoutout to Menacing Michael the frightful disciple is on an episode of smackdown, I think during the invasion storyline. Kurt angle went to angle slam big show when Taker who was prone on the apron, subtly moves his foot to slide a chair away from the pair to avoid a bad landing. Way to go Undertaker you legend
I think the picture used for Styles saving Elsworth actually shows how he noticed. It looks like he's looking down at him, so I presume he uses the positioning of the move to check on his opponents as he moves and adjusts if he sees anything wrong
After a broken neck or two, he learned to double check if his opponents are taking it correctly.
"...Edge clearly remembered some training he'd been made to sit through." I don't think there is anyone watching this video that has had to endure a workplace training video at one point or another, usually while fighting training video induced narcolepsy at the same time. That line gave me a right old chuckle matey, keep it up. :D
Don't forget Kane also is a politician. That is always evil lol
I would've put Chris Jericho saving Neville (Pac) on Raw, but Neville had already gotten hurt, and Jericho got himself DQed to save him from making the injury much worse, so I don't think that counted anyway.
Although he made a mistake missing his spot with rey ....Logan is still safer in the ring than Ryback ...props given still for his ring awareness.
rey also fucked up a bit too, he under rotated a decent bit and didnt get the distance
Ryback stopped Kalisto from landing on his head on the apron at Mania 32
@@cichontom my reason for writing this was based off multiple other instances it was not to say that he wasn't capable of being protective in the ring but in comparison to Logan considering rybacks had more matches more experience....yes Ryback is much less safe otherwise we would still have him around but he's long gone....
A tornado or a disgruntled warthog are safer than Ryback.
I personally think Jericho's biggest botch was publicly stating that he hates the term 'botch', setting him up to be constantly flamed by the IWC
Honorable mention goes to Mike Awesome saving Spike Dudley on ppv. I forgot which one it was
Shout out to Jeff Hardy for saving Darby Allin from a very high and somewhat off-target coffin drop onto a hard arena floor.
They should give a "Best Save" award every year.
We could honestly make a whole video on the worst of Kane Storylines😂
I was at that Smackdown when AJ saved Ellsworth. Legit tbought i was gonna watch a dude get his neck broke. AJ lived up to his name that night. Simply phenomenal that he reacted so quick
R.I.P. Brody Lee.
Thank God for these Saves
Brodie Lee ♥️
A pretty good idea for a video that goes along with the Fandango saving Cody Rhodes.
Has there been any wrestler or notable person in history that saved Fandango? Then has there been anyone that saved that person, and so on? Imagine the rabbit hole type of fun video that would be?!?
I wonder how many of these wrestlers remember these saves. Also, props to cultaholic because I didn't know most of these.
I remember the one where on a episode of smackdown more wrestlers keep coming down to the ring then Kurt gives an angle slam to Big Show and right as he does it Undertaker kicks a chair out the way which show would have otherwise landed on
I heard that Scott steiner saved Shane "Hurricane" Helms from falling head first to the floor.
I remember looking away from the screen before AJ hit that Styles clash on Ellsworth, because I was convinced I was about to witness someone breaking their neck on live TV. AJ is the goat for real, I’d trust him with my life in the ring
Ryback saved Kalisto on a dangerous springboard
Kurt Henning really was Mr _Perfect_
Asuka saving Sasha with her leg is a great example.
Can we talk about that Big Show ladder from the 2010 MitB match? One of the best visual gimmicks of all time.
thanks!
AJ looked at ellsworth to check his head position... I'd assume that after the Lionheart incident that he became ultra aware of this danger.
Luke Harper was, is and forever will be one of the all-time greats.
Props to the fashion files guy
one that missed this list:
TLC 2019, Kairi Sane got concussed in the women's Tag Team TLC Match between the Kabuki Warriors (her team with Asuka) and the team of Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch, during the match, Kairi was concussed after i assumed a German Suplex spot on the floor by the ramp, Kairi was on spaghetti legs after that and Charlotte put her through a table and stiffed her while not knowing she was hurt, but Becky & Asuka saw something wrong and tried to do something before the concussion turned into a fatal head injury, so after a while, Becky rolled Kairi under the ring to prevent her from suffering a fatal or life altering head injury that could have cut her life or career short.
good video
I'm still waiting for you guys to post about Pete Dunne vs Walter (Gunther) at NXT Takeover New York in 2019. I was there, and I watched it again on the Network and Pete Dunne went to do a climb up and flip over off the turnbuckle (like Daniel Bryan Danielson does), but slipped, and was about to go crashing onto his head, but Walter saved him.
Pacitti never fails to glaze Logan Paul
Have you guys heard that Scott D'Amore's gone from TNA.
"In the ring." Hooo boy.
What about Kane saving Seth from the spike of the steel cage😢
Thank For the Top 10 Video 🙊🤯🥰😍😁💗💐🌟🥇🏆
Honourable Mention: New Jack for preventing Vic Grimes getting hurt by a rusty nail on the scaffold at XPW Freefall.
AJ Styles and James Ellsworth
The Luke Harper Mustafa Ali spot, Braun Strowman didn't do the spot too early, he actually did it too late.
No Cody, no Aew, No Cody coming back to WWE to finish his story, no the people vs the rock!
It all makes sense
No, I will not forget about Kane electrocuting Shane. Kane should have came back in the 2023 Rumble for one last chance to give Shane a beating.
This one kind of dont count, but when kane made a return after tori dumped him, there's a part where in the tombstone her legs weren't in the right place, so he pulled them in before the tombstone which if he didnt it could have screwed her up either it being her back or neck
kudos to Logan Paul on being an absolute pro&saving Rey Mysterio from a serious injury
Yeah, this guy in reality is just unbelievable. Coming in as a celebrity - I just don´t know where his understanding of the business come from. And saving Rey here and improvise for the audience, it is just impressive. And yeah, I know the controversity about his person very well - but it seems, he just "feels" Wrestling and seems he would be a "naturally born Champion", if he decides to stick with it.
Mustafa jacked up his eye pretty good on the announce table instead.
Only person to address that.
Well i never knew this.
2:27 That's not Kane...
Mr perfect was always meant to lift his legs up. Jericho didn’t mean to under rotate.
It was a happy accident really.
Logan paul was just fixing his mistake on his rehearsed spot like he was trying to just complete the spot.
wow I wish Logan would care his fans like how he cared for Rey 💀
Kane also saved jeff hardy in a handicap match against the hardy boys
😎👍
You just HAD to know that AJ/Ellsworth was going to be #1. I mean that could've paralyzed poor James
We sure the jericho one wasn't just the planned counter?
Damn you fandango
flat earth magic lol
i guess adam forgot ryback saves kalisto
Nope, Jericho’s worst botch is the Gedo rana
Unless you are Steve blackmen. Then jbl would be saying sorry. If you know the story.
Stretching the word "saved" in some of these cases.
“Saves their opponent” but the ref wasn’t his opponent 🥲
Or Katie Vick
Ali still got injured though. Idk why people hate to overlook that.
The fact rey mysteriou is 3 inches taller than me …..
Flat earth magic 😂
Mustafa Ali
Flat 🌎 magic😂
Slightly out of position? Try a LOT out of position. Logan saving Rey is completely overblown, it was Logan's fault Rey nearly brained him self, he just corrected it.
Many green wrestlers can't correct themselves like that, they just blow the spot and someone gets hurt
It pains me to say but logan Paul is a stupidly talented athlete !!
1st
Scott da'more got fired for whatever reason.
Logan didn't save rey mysterio ,rey would have landed just fine but logan almost killed him by catching him. So logan in my opinion doesn't deserve the praise he gets
@@urbaindelva7869 he could have dodged rey to make it seem like rey missed
nah sorry, but if Paul was positioned right in the first place the botch wouldnt have happened at all.
That could be said about a couple of these
CULT-A-MARKS
ON MY NUTS
Logan admitted that Rey would've been fine had Logan been in the right spot, he almost broke reys neck but everyone praises it 🤦♂️
I'm the last person who wants to defend Logan Paul, but Adam literally mentioned this in the video.
In that exact same interview you're mentioning, he also states it was an issue on both sides. Rey didn't jump too far, but Logan was also too far back.
If it were any other wrestler in Logan's position, I highly doubt you would be complaining :)
It’s one thing to make a mistake, it’s another to think quickly on your feet and turn a botch into a neat looking reversal.
@@alfiebenclark nah considering how often I wrestle, I'm gonna point it out no matter who it is. But I hope his meat tastes good bro.
Yeah just bad timing and placement on both but also shows the althlete paul is he maybe a pos person but as a athlete can't deny his talent. Just glad it all turned out ok for everyone and Rey wasn't seriously injured
Rather be in there with APA than Rey who literally killed someone
surprised Jericho saving Jeff from a botched whisper in the wind isn’t on this list
