      Bunch of wrestlers in main roster are not used to hard hitting so out of respect and honor Gunther doesn't chop that hard though it still leaves a mark, but if it's with someone like Sheamus and Dragonov 💀 they will chop eachother and hit hard that's why Gunther and Sheamus had a best match.

Moss thought that Drew would need help getting him over, so put a bit more into it and ended up over-rotating. He said it was 100% his own fault for helping Drew out on the move when he didn't need it. Lucky he was OK afterwards.

    I remember I went to 2004 Backlash. I was in the lower bowl, probably 200 feet from the Arena, and hearing people take chops, I winced because you could hear the slaps clear as day over the crowd. That live event gave me an appreciation of the athleticism that every wrestler needed to have, and that even though it was scripted, and rehearsed, the level of punishment they put their bodies through was impressive. That, and Randy Orton taking a body slam into thumb tacks, that was one hell of a show.

      Santino's Cobra does not hurt... as you go into shock and everything shuts down.

      I took a Samoan Spike once and the guy fucked up and caught me dead in the throat with his thumb. He fractured his thumb and I couldn't breathe for a good few seconds and I couldn't eat anything solid for a week because it hurt to.

      I'm really scared of Santino's Cobra. Remember how he almost killed JTG with it? 😱

    You have a very nice reaction face Maven! I really felt it when you shown the pain in your face when you saw the "botched" moves. Amazing video and amazing insight. Really intresting to see you disect these wrestling youtube commentators videos like this!

    I'm thinking of these bumps in everyday life. Hitting your back on a corner surface has to be crazy. That Bonzai Drop was killer. Any bump to the chest has to hurt like crazy.

    I appreciate how you really show us just how professional these guys are at what they do. It’s why they say “don’t try this at home”. You perfectly explain just why these guys are great t what they do, and these accidents are rare.
    A couple moves I’m surprised aren’t on the list are Finn Balor’s Coup De Gras, and the Cradle Piledriver.
    The Coup De Gras looks painful, even knowing how the guy taking the move is prepared for it. If I’m not mistaken, I though I heard someone say that Shinskue Nakamaura said it was one of the most painful moves even when done correctly.
    The Cradle Piledriver in particular I mention because you come down on your head onto the floor. I don’t think it’s like a normal Piledriver where you can land between the knees, and the way they hold you makes it look especially painful.

  • @TheThird1977
    @TheThird1977 Před 2 měsíci

    Another great video. It's wonderful hearing these stories and takes, especially with how open and candid Maven is, from someone who spent time in the WWE system.
    Will 100% agree that chops by their very nature are painful, and also agree 100% with the DDT and the clothesline summations. Whenever I gave a DDT, my opponent controlled how they would take the bump (be it perfectly flat, on their elbows, rolling through, etc) as my job was simply to fall back and make it look like I held their head all the way.

  • @AmericanWrathchild
    @AmericanWrathchild Před 2 měsíci +5

    Bray Wyatt had one of the most vicious looking lariats/clotheslines I've ever seen. The way he had his back to his opponent then spinning around with so much force made it look like he killed someone.

    • @williamsmith666
      @williamsmith666 Před 2 měsíci +4

      There were more than a few Clotheslines from Hell that looked like he damn near decapitated his opponent. Probably didn't feel good...

    • @nicklomas181
      @nicklomas181 Před 2 měsíci +2

      I heard JBL say the 'trick' was to bump quickly so it didn't hurt, Jake the snake was a bit too old and slow, so he got really hurt by it.

    • @RaderizDorret
      @RaderizDorret Před 2 měsíci

      Heath Slater probably had the best CFH sell I've ever seen when he had his match against Lita. Dude was hanging in a 90% headstand for like 3 seconds before coming back down to the mat.

    So many people are probably surprised to hear a British guy talking about wrestling, but the amount of CZcams channels from British guys talking about it is kind of insane. British guys REALLY like wrestling. I can't even count how many times I've clicked a wrestling related video to hear a British accent.

  • @lugaruclone

    • @gmaxion2001
      @gmaxion2001 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Same. My first match was with a friend of mine and I hit an Edgecution DDT as a finisher, but I didn't know how to do it properly. It was an AHA moment because he set himself up with his head in just the rights spot. He landed on his head and was knocked out. I gave him my check for that. It was $50, but I felt so bad.

    Hey Mave! Love the content as usual!! I have a random question. It’s well known that amateur wrestlers and boxers often get cauliflower ear from repeated impact to the ear. Is it common for pro wrestlers to get cauliflower ear? Seems like it would be with the amount of head impact a pro wrestler often has to endure.

    I haven't watched all of Mayven's videos but I've watched quite a few. One the things I love about his videos is that he never shows himself being a big shot or badass. He's always modest and typically shows himself taking the bumps instead of administering them. I love it
