Dives onto a group of people can work if the group is fighting separately in smaller groups of two or three and the guy jumping is secretly positioning himself, then the groups on the outside move a little closer together and he jumps. But put your hands up at the last second and definitely no waiting with arms open ready to protect your rival. It has to be timed perfectly just to look decent and you can’t time something perfectly once a week and have it look good.
Mysterio's 619 also makes no sense
@@ar.michael8306 you saying why can't they can just get up like roman at 2013 survivor series. Wound up and SPEAR.
@@thecodester6669 cuz they’re hurt and tired
@@Hillbillabeast unless your jbl at Mania 25 and lose in 25 seconds Lol
Also, as mentioned wrt the top rope moves, don't put the camera on the "recipients" too much.
Clearing items off the table makes sense for moves where both wrestlers are impacting the table. Makes sense that the aggressor doesn't want to hurt themselves also. Now for moves where the victim is the only one impacting the table, yeah makes 0 sense from a kayfabe standpoint.
no it does make sense. Safety should still be present
@@MsKeylas obviously 🙄. I'm talking strictly from a kayfabe standpoint, same as the video. Guess you didn't read the last line of my post.
Yeah that’s a good point. Reminds me of the time Randy Orton RKO’d someone through a commentary table and he landed on the corner of a monitor. You can tell that hurt
@@blue2594 it happened at WM30 when Randy and Batista teamed up to take out Daniel Bryan.
@@Azriel1932 i did read. and i have yet to remember when in kayfabe desire was to kill each other.
Some honorable mentions:
1. Bending over after delivering the Irish whip to an opponent only to be hit with a kick to the chest or some other move. Seriously, why does everyone fall for that?
2. Freaking out after their opponent kicks out at 2 from any move that's not their finisher.
3. Tag partners join the huddle even though they already know their fellow partner is gonna jump at them. Thank you Christian Maracle.
4. Referees have no common sense. They know that outside interferences happen so much over the years so they should be more aware.
5. Wrestlers often yell out something (ex. McIntyre's 3 2 1 countdown) as build-up before hitting the move. Sure it makes the fans pop. But in real fights? Their opponents could take advantage and avoid the move given the warning.
For the first one. Wrestlers like stone cold used to Irish whip their opponents into the ropes and bend over to do a back drop or whatever it's called. That never works anymore but it used to.
The bending over one is only good when they’re closer to the rope instead of in the middle of the ring so the opponent can’t get much time to react when he bounces off the rope.
Adding to this list:
Just the fact alone that wrestlers can’t seem to stop their movement after being Irish whipped.
The ladder one is on point. I can forgive most of these because I love wrestling, but climbing slowly up a ladder is absolutely silly.
I take it's because they are exhausted and/or didn't have that second shot of adrenaline rush where the previous downed opponent get that adrenaline rush and able to climb quickly.
@@naruhinanatzaforver9298 that's the only time it makes sense, but not in the first 5 minutes of a match.
When Ric Flair climbs the ladder slowly, It makes perfect sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Only when the match has gone on at least 20mins and the wrestlers are dead tired. Plus if you go up a ladder too quickly you might fall or tip over which actually happens in the matches in a none Kayfaybe way
Well the ladder is on a surface that is designed to help absorb the impact of moves, there is a bit of a bounce to it, that probably doesn't help stability all that much. I once saw a guy (can't remember who)use his foot to stabilize it while supposedly unconscious. But yeah other times they do take their time going up that thing.
No matter which Wrestling Promotion you perfer watching. Watching Wrestling means suspending all disbelief.
So are movies, but there's a difference between suspending disbelief and trying to make it look somewhat real.
I agree with both opinions however it shouldnt go to the point where it insults the intelligence of the viewer.
@@shyguystudios3506 Like Indy scene, for example. The pizza guy and Orange Cassidy.
But wrestling has always had those stuff. It's not hate serious, take it easy.
To a point, sure. It's not just wrestling that has this problem though. In comics Batman isn't supposed to have superpowers but some of things he's shown doing clearly indicate some level of superhuman ability and they always stick out to me. I'd just like an explanation of how a 6'4" 280lbs man can move around so quietly.
ITS REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!! Lol
Climbing the cage rather than going through the door would be seen as more humiliating loss, as in "I hurt you so badly I could take the time to go the the hard way out of the cage".
Having cage matches where the winner 8s first obe out of the cage is stupid to begin with.
The part of "You with if get out the door" is probably there for safety. If someone gets injured during the match, climbing up and out becomes even more dangerous than usual, so in that case, going out the door to medical assistance is the way to win and finish the match.
@@danuttall It also creates high drama. You get that "He was so close!'" moment.
@@profshad3429 What is even stupid about that? You probably listen to too much Jericho and Alvarez podcasts where you seem to think anything that's organically WWE is bad, stupid or childish. You're not cool, get some fucking clue.
Well they have had great match reasons in the past for a heel not waiting to go out the front door. I think one was the Miz v someone like Big Show and he knock show down in front of the door so he was too scared to wake the knocked out giant. Or Bray has the family outside the door so D-Bry couldn’t get out that way.
For finishers: I've always suspended my disbelief by pretending the logic is that the person doing the move has perfected it somehow. Lots of people do arm bars but Rousey does it the best. The ankle lock? Angle has perfected it and other folks haven't. The People's Elbow? He gets it at the exact right spot with the exact correct angle in his elbow for maximum damage. Other folks don't do it as well.
This is was what I always thought too. The Rock would always snap that peoples elbow at maximum velocity to, I think that's how he got away with it so well. It looked painful as it did silly.
To me, the People's Elbow looks more like rubbing it in than a finisher. The opponent is already sufficiently "finished" that a simple pin would work, but in character, the Rock wants to make a point too.
Gonna need you for my phd defence.
I used to justify it by thinking that the rock removing his elbow pad made it hurt more…maybe
You would think the Usos would have mastered their Super Kick over the years to the point where it's a finisher but nope. The real reason is that finishers just don't make sense and wrestling is nonsense
How Mick Foley didn’t get brain damage from the amount of chairshots he took from The Rock is beyond me.
Yeah but sometimes that kind of head trauma causes issues later in life.
He definitely has lots of brain damage he's taken years off his life with some of the stuff he's done
I agree with that. That causes severe permanent damage to the head later on in life, which may require surgery as well.
@@Lamiishere bro what?
God’s grace
The answer to "why did Hulk Hogan's leg drop defeat opponents when other wrestler's don't" is answerable with "Because it was Hulk Hogan".
Brother
The same reason his punches felt so powerfull
Exactly. Each wrestler have perfected a move specifically for themselves. It's like Naruto where each character have a set of power.
It's not that hard to grasp.
@@TOP0PERCENT that is exactly how Gorilla Monsoon and other old school commentators explain the logic of the finishing moves. Of course, when talking about leg drops, Yokozuna's would have to be the most devastating of all considering how massive he is a the height he also gets when he delivers it.
And The Rock's people's elbow is powered by MILLIONS of fans lmao
Imo, Yokozuna's leg drop legit looks like it could lay anyone out for a three count lol
Yokozuna's leg drop is one of the few that made sense in kayfabe, 600 POUNDS falling on you, DAMN
I’ve never understood how they could be chasing someone but as soon as they exit the ring it’s like “dammit they got away” when they could just exit the ring and chase them lol
ha ha ha 😂
Shawn Michaels hitting the ground for a super kick & the opponent will still turn given the warning 🤷♂️
The Suicide Dive is always a strange spot to do. Especially when there are tons of Superstars huddled around waiting for the wrestler to dive on them. Some of the wrestlers (usually the ones in the back) don't even seem to get hit by the move and just fall for the fun of it.
There's just a lack of subtlety when they're trying to position themselves at times. Like instead of awkwardly walking right to the spot and look right at them charging at you...crawl and act like you're struggling to stand or something but not slow as a sloth to where you blow the spot lol
@@joe.limbus better safe than sorry i guess
The issue is that they often do the spot without keeping the logic ans storytelling in mind. In earlier times they would come up with something like the face saving his manager from a heel who is about to attack him and is in place for the spot because he is threatening the manager or the other way around a heel dives to jumpattack a face who is distracted by the heels manager. Now they just dive because it looks good and to show off and that's why it often looks awkward.
It’s a silly spot but Wrestlers seem to not care about protecting Kayfabe anymore so they continue to do it
Announcing table spots are always memorable . Example RKO through the table
Same with the super kick. The super kick used to be SPECIAL. Now the bucks use it as filler. Same with usos.
that kick was used by their family as a normal move; it was only really special for HBK
Shawn Michaels must be PISSED
Everyone do superkicks these days it's so cringe to watch
@@imspiker3645 then why are you watching wwe its not even cringe lol u just got bad taste
The Dive usually works more in the tag team division and The Undertaker. Especially Taker as a 7 foot man diving over the top ropes and into his opponent is a sight to see and puts everyone else to shame.
@khaled_1 In kayfabe he is.
If Undertaker is going to jump on me with a dive, I'm running the F out of there as fast as I can 😨
@khaled_1 Don't you know what the word kayfabe means?
@@Kaminari_Akuma that what 1 cameraman did at wrestlemania when he was suppose to catch him but instead moved away & Undertaker's career almost ended. Lol 🤣
@@kevaughnramsay9846 The Undertaker
Billed height 6 ft 10 in (208 cm)

John Cena AA to Big Show & Edge is incredible
Agreed Cena is the man
And Edge wisely moved out of the way too
@@Kaminari_Akuma Nah u wouldnt have time the spear is way more powerful than the AA plus yall dont know wwe
Another one to add, even though it's a move that's probably been around longer than any of us have been alive, and that is The Irish Whip. I mean if you think about it, if this was 100% real, why would the person receiving it be unable to, you know, stop running? 🤷
that should be number one really
Try to stop when they throw you with that force to bounce off the ropes without tripping, falling and breaking an ankle
Yup was hoping it was on the list, but when the opponent is dazed then I can understand
@@Kaminari_Akuma true true
@@Kaminari_Akuma 😂 Have you ever been in an actual fight before? No one is throwing people around like in the movies. Ever played rugby, football, any sport? They literally teach you how to plant your feet to stop or change direction. 😆
Undertaker’s Old School move literally makes me angry at how someone just lets him climb the ropes and doesn’t think the knock him down.
Agreed, especially since it's painfully obvious the guy about to take the move is keeping him balanced when he should be giving Taker's arm a good yank and making him faceplant on the canvas.
Didn't he twist his opponents' hand before climbing on the top rope 🤔 Therefore implying that if you knocked him down you'd be hurting yourself
Undertaker twist his oponent's arm twice before doing the Old School, the pain makes sence to me
I agree. It's one of the nonsense move.
@@Kaminari_Akuma I can't imagine it takes a lot of effort to make a forty plus year old lose his balance. Maybe I'm built different.
Super moves, honestly most finishing moves are just normal moves that a wrestler takes as a finisher. Look at every DDT and Powerbomb finisher. I think the kayfabe explanation is that this wrestler is simply a master of the move so when he/she does it, it's more impactful 🤷🏾♂️
This sounds like it makes sense
And look at the size of the wrestler delivering the move, Hogan dropping his leg across your throat has to hurt in a sense, even though it's a stretch tbh😂
@@legionevo1137 yeah I think so too because it happens in real life. For example, in MMA, a standing left roundhouse kick is a standard move. But when Mirko Cro-Cop hits a man with it, that man practically dies. In boxing, a right uppercut is a standard move for most boxers. But when Mike Tyson hits a man with it, almost guaranteed KO. Same concept can be applied to finishing moves in kayfabe pro wrestling.
I think the over abundance of superstars doing certain moves kills it too. Like The Sweet Chin Music/Superkick
@@legionevo1137 oh I 100% agree. I am so damn tired of seeing the superkick. I kinda want it banned at this point because it's not even exciting anymore. You can put DDTs and spears on that list too.
To be fair, if I was ejected from the ring then stood back up, only to see a grown man flying at me, I’d probably hold my hands out in defense too
Same
I would run the F out of there
The problem is that they stand up early and they spend a few moments standing there and waiting for the opponent to dive on them.
@@OmerAsh True. In those situations, the camera ops don’t even try to hide that most of the time
I would get a chair from under the ring and hit them flying out of the ring 🤣
Wait, so a lack of head shots is both illogical AND logical? Oh WrestleLamia....🤦🏻♂️
Removing everything off the announce table kind of makes sense because I think one time I can't remember but Randy Orton had a big cut on his back from falling on the announce table and hitting something
That was Wrestlemania 30
Batista and Orton cleared off one of the announce tables to perform a powerbomb/RKO combo on Daniel Bryan. However Batista threw one of the TV monitors closer to the guardrail/announcers instead of closer to the ring, leading to Orton landing on that monitor
There were other instances where somebody fell onto something hurting their back or head. It definitly makes a lot of sense from a savety perspective. From a storytelling perspective they could just have the announcers grabe their laptops and stuff to clear the table and maybe add an offhand comment on Michael Cole saving WWE a lot of money by getting that monitor out of the way or something.
@@achimsinn6189 it's WWE bruh... that monitor is like 50 cents to them
@@FazeRustyNuts
With that logic, no wonder why Stone Cold could afford to waste all those beers onscreen.
it makes sense to clear the announce table even tho it can hurt your opponent more you could trip and lose your footing while on the table
that and the monitors, laptops/tablets and other electronic items are very expensive to replace if broken by a wrestler on a going through the announce table spot.
@@WillHendersonTX well back in my day the wrestlers use to use some of those table items to hurt the opponent b4 slamming them through
look what happened to Randy.
The submission outside of the ring makes more sense if the stipulation is a Falls Count Anywhere match. The steel cage match should be featured without a door. That way, whoever is getting outwrestled by their opponent can attempt to escape the cage, especially the heels
Wrestling spots are always brutal nowadays
Yeah I miss the days they would grow sunflowers and feed the cats
And fake looking
Santino's cobra too?
Dives are always brutal
You can also add that most wrestlers have amnesia. Take Kofi Kingston when he lost his WWE title to Brock Lesnar. It’s like he forgot he just got squashed 😂
Why does a move "hurt more" when it's a finisher? Cena's AA is just a delayed firemans carry. Why weren't the other firemans carry as deadly as Cena's?
The DDT. Once a powerful move now just a basic move everyone kicks out of, even when it looks like it has more force than the original..
Because it's Super Cena's. lol
so true
If Cena did the super AA of the rope it would be more believable
It's a fireman's carry into a slam, not a delayed fireman's carry. How exactly do you delay a carry?
Because Jim cornette lots of moves have been invented since the DDT. If someone use the DDT as they're finisher now it would be a joke
What makes no sense to me is champs keeping their belts on a DQ? Obviously I know why for story purposes, but if I were a heel champ, I’d get myself 5 counted out and leave. Saves me from harm and shows ultimate disrespect for the face.
Because then it leads to gimmick matches that will make it so they can lose the belt on a disqualification.
They should change the rule that if the Champ is disqualified he vacates the title on the fact of "he is unfit to carry the title if he can't properly follow the rules.", exceptions being for an interreference disqualifications.
Still some to add:
1.Undertaker's old school move (opponent assists him as he walks on the rope)
2.Undertaker's tombstone piledriver (opponent holds undertaker's waist tightly to help him carrying; this also avoids the opponent's head hitting the mat)
3.chokeslam( assisting by bouncing or lifting themselves high as possible)
4.top rope splashes ( receivers position themselves as the flyer climbs the rope)
Still more like these can be observed.
The ref bump is always so stupid to me. Yes I get if you've been hit by a finisher and you're out that makes sense because they're not trained professionals so it probably hurt them more. However I have seen many many refs get knocked out and killed because they got pushed how does that make sense
The reason why they remove the laptops off of the tables is so they don’t have to pay for all the damage goods.
Hahah, they literally throw those laptops and monitor directly on the floor, they literally toss them! No way they do it for damage saving purposes.
let's not forget how Rey Mysterio just so happens to always have his opponents fall into position for his Finisher. The 619 looks great but most people logically shouldn't aim for the 2nd rope when falling.
Number 5 I heard this before and I don't agree. How I look at it is... in kayfabe the wrestler mastered and perfected the move and that's THEIR most deadly move. Like for example a punch from the Big Show is gonna be more impactful then a punch from Santino
Does sweet chin music make sense, when HBK is stomping his feet, and his opponent can hear it
This is one spot that is no longer in existence but was popular in the 80s : Getting an opponent into the ring by pulling on the ring ropes. Somehow, the opponent will flip over.
The Chair problem would be easy to slove if they used prop chairs that looked like steal but are made from softer material, they could do Chairshots to the head without serious injuries. Downside the wrestlers would have to remember which is the prop & which are real.
It's almost as if these wrestlers are co-workers trying to entertain people rather than mortal enemies out to destroy one another.🤔🤷♂️
I never understood a spot where a wrestler would lay on the canvas and wait for 30 seconds (or a minute) for his opponent to perform his signature move (like The People's Elbow, Five Knuckle Shuffle, The Worm and etc.).
Many wrestlers out there, don’t care if certain wrestling spots make ZERO sense, they just do it for the hell of it!!
Gotta love Jim Ross take on the dives since almost all matches on AEW have that same spot several times over.
I mean as for the announcement table u could make the argument that they clear the table cause the labtop and other stuff are important for the announcers
You forgot to mention the 619 finisher
What about the 619? That actually killed a guy.
@@brownie_shenandoah the 619 didnt kill the guy. He whiplashed off of the rope because he didnt land correctly.
It has been confirmed that Perro Aguayo Jr. didn't die from the 619, he died from the whiplash of the rope on his neck. A move that Actually killed a guy, is the F-5
@@brownie_shenandoah I think he meant the wrestlers that just stay hanging on the middle rope, they could've just stood up while Rey was running towards the other side of the ring.
I feel the same way about auska's knee where her opponent literally runs to her and jumps and comes back down on to her knee
Thaaaaaank uuu finally someone is talking about how stupid the cage matches are and aslo the dramatic ladder climbing 😂😂
Spot on. Nothing ruins a match more for me than obvious choreography.
Ladder is easy to fix. 1. Work the legs during match, maybe even 1 shoulder. So the guy is hobbling up with only one arm. 2. Have a couple guys do a shoot botch, where climbing too quickly results in the ladder losing balance. Or someone feigns being down and pops up once someone is close to the top. This creates a “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” perspective and allows for a wrestler to survey the area before moving too hastily. 3. It’s wresslin’ dammit and I could watch Jeff Hardy take ten minutes to climb a ladder.
The dive over the top rope is just stupid and it really does break the immersion. I was watching an old mick foley match and he would run the ropes and instead of trying to leap over, he did a baseball slide. What happened to that move? It's so much better, and believable. But then again wrestling in the 2020's have just become major spot fests.
Honestly don't know how wrestlers today can "tell stories in the ring" when there are no build-ups for these matches. Then again, I haven't watched since 2019, so not sure how it's going anymore
The Irish whip? It’s the single most illegitimate unpractical move in all of pro wrestling
Actually removing the items from announcer table is for the safety of the wrestlers and makes perfect sense. Why would they risk a career injury just to see a tv screen fly in the air
There's this other really annoying move where someone will throw there opponent into the rope and then they'll just randomly bend down and their opponent will kick them. I've always found it so confusing.
It's not confusing It literally wrestles what else you wanna be a cartoon? y'all just dont know wwe 😂
@@lxnfamxre4748 ok
@@bigmoss6041 Good boy
The People's Elbow has the power of an electrified crowd

The sense of disbelief doesn't apply anymore because kayfabe is long dead. I watch matches knowing what spots will take place next.
👍
It means you've simply watched a lot.
I hate fans like you who remain a baby and want to be coddled all the time. You watch something too much - and you involve yourself too much into dirt-sheet and outside kayfabe stuff - you ARE going to get tired or bored.
There's a difference between fans like us - that have watched it for years - vs young or new fans that haven't watched it. Don't ruin it for them with your stupid baby mindset. Nothing in life stays same, except your timeframe for orgasm.
That very sad
We're marks eventhore wrestling can make no sense at all we will continue loving it😂
Wrestling does make sense you just dont know what it means the storyline yall are to dumb
When you're in a ladder climbing competition and your opponent is a wrestler
Old school cage matches had the door locked or chained shut so that it required a decent bit of time, crazy night man strength, or outside interference to open.
Also how is the Irish Whip not on the list?
Finally something I always wanted from your channel ...Nice video 🔥
I like to think that in kayfabe, head shots with a chair is heavily banned like in real life. The managers don’t want their wrestlers to go on the shelf so they don’t allow chair shots to the head
100% agree but I ignore the spots because I like wrestling
“Climbing the Ladder” drives me crazy! I’m always yelling, “Climb, you a-hole!”
Try to climb a ladder while exhausted
It makes no senses when they hit their partners in the diving suicide
The Rocks elbow started as a taunt after the actual finisher Rock Bottom ("i beat you with a basic elbow drop, chump") and then started to treat it as the finisher itself. A spot that went on to make no sense in itself.
When Loki does the corner stomp. It look a little more logic cause he kicks the knee first while waiting on the top rope. So the other wrestler have to stand up to "protect his knee" and then BOOM
No it's a dumbass move regardless here's the thing though it's not a signature WWE thing.
Love your videos keep up the good work wrestlemania 👏 👍
Love your vids God bless you
What about a wrestler getting punched in the corner multiple times and never putting his/her hands up to protect themselves?
Years ago that was a pet peeve of Vince McMahon. If someone has you in the corner you're not going to slump there with your arms nicely drapped over the top rope so your opponent can beat on you.
Taking items off of the table is smart and does make sense, it saves items from being broken or damaged and most importantly it protects superstars from landing on objects causing them injury.
Steel cage and ladder matches are sometimes just ridiculous. Like it is so agonizing to watch them climb SO SLOWLY in spite of the urgency, then the one who has to win it climbs it so fast!
WWE Referees - Push us and we will go in a coma 🤣😂
The only submission move that had a good visual outside the ring was when Bret used to apply the sharpshooter (to The Patriot, Vince’s born-again xtian boy toy, Vader, etc) around the ring post outside.
I saw it tried in AEW and Mox brought up the wrong leg first and just fell down.
When i was a little kid and the Hitman put that hold on around the post I knew he had it in the bag.
They avoid chair shots to the head because they just don’t wanna get fined thousands of dollars
I only like Darby Allins diving spot, cuz they other looks like he is not waiting.
The rock elbow drop/hogan leg drop. It’s like saying Mike Tyson hits people with a check left hook, shouldn’t all left hooks finish boxers?? No, because Tyson’s technique and power makes it more devastating
Two more are the curb stomps and open challenges/wrestlers challenging for a title. Why when wrestlers are fighting rollins is that the only time they will ever go in the hands and knees position when it's one of the most famous current finishers? And why don't people like ko just challenge roman to an undisputed championship match when every time another wrestlers challenges them to a match it always gets accepted as seen with logan paul getting an undisputed championship match and main eventing a ppv for his 3rd match at wwe
It's called suspending disbelief.
It's as idiotic as saying "Why do Marvel create superheroes when in reality, we know such things don't exist? It's so hard to believe"
As for why Logan Paul challenge is accepted, WWE have ALWAYS emphasized on the business part. ALWAYS. Triple H's entire moniker is best for business. Why do Dana treat certain UFC stars differently? Because of their star power and the money they bring. WWE follow that philosophy. Roman Reigns vs Logan Paul is a certified money match. They wouldn't give that shot to any other CZcamsr or even Bad Bunny. Roman vs Logan is a money match, that's why it's happening.
How fucking hard is that for you to understand?
That's also much more believable, than AEW having a ranking system where THEIR TOP STARS GET WINS ANYWAYS.
A guy is a top star, got fans and merch sales and it super over, HE IS A TOP GUY. He brings the money, he IS a top guy. The Main Event is not just about the moves or character, it's about bringing in revenue. That's what's keeping the business going.
@@TOP0PERCENT that wasnt my point ik why its happening its literally in saudi arabia which they only host shows in bc theres so much money in it im just saying if its this easy for all these top stars to get a championship match why do they bother with no1 contenders matches when any1 can challenge and it will always be accepted
This list itself makes no sense
It’s All about the performance and story telling
Isn't #6 kind of like asking why wrestlers don't just pull out guns and shoot their opponents? If doing something is going to get you fired/prosecuted, then most people aren't going to do it.
The spot where a wrestler dives onto a group of people always looks cool but yeah you would think they would want to get out of the way of that.🤣
They don't do submission holds on the table because they want people to think it somehow hurts more or something, they literally just do it for the visual. Next, they clear off the table so they don't injure themselves or their opponents for real by landing on all that clutter. It doesn't make sense if they were really trying to hurt their opponent they would leave it but they could argue they are doing it to protect themselves. Not trying to escape the fireman's carry is the exact same thing as wrestlers who lay there while their opponent climbs the ropes and does a top rope move or anything like that, they are too injured to get up or they are unconscious and thus can't get up. So when they are in the fireman's carry they are too injured or unconscious and can't do anything about it. It's like Jake Roberts says when people these days use the DDT but don't win with it, their DDT just isn't as devastating as Jake's and he has perfected it. Its the same with any finish and its why its that guys finish because they have perfected the move and are the only one who can win with that particular move because it was perfected by them. Hogan's leg drop, rocks elbow, Jakes DDT, Shawn's super kick, lawlers piledriver, etc etc. These guys have perfected the move and no one can pull it off like they can.
The rocks elbow drop is electrifying that’s why it’s more powerful 😂😂😂😂
As for Hogan he hulked up first so it’s a hulked up Legdrop 😂😂😂
How about the stalling suplex? Couldn't the opponent just lean to the side? Or the opponent doing most of the work during Kelly Kelly's headscissors or Mysterio's wheelbarrow into bulldog counter.
yeah the stalling suplex doesn't make sense. For some moves where they stall like a move with the fireman's carry you could say the person receiving the move was too hurt to move
but any stalling suplex makes no sense because if they were hurt that bad their body would go limp or, like you said, they would lean one way or the other to avoid the move. Snap suplexes make the most since
I always thought clearing the announce table was for safety if someone’s neck or head lands on a laptop or a monitor I’m sure it’s not gonna end pretty
Pretty much summed up everything I've been thinking for years.
Hogan and Rock dropping a leg drop and elbow drop is different because of their momentum and size. If tiny Lio Rush dropped a leg in comparison to the 300-pound Hulk Hogan, it wouldn't be as effective. Also, Rock doesn't really do an elbow drop, he swiftly slams his elbow onto his opponent.
I think the clearing the table part is because it's electronics, and the tables used to have little old TVs installed in them and could actually injure someone or malfunction
A lot of these spots are done with safety in mind.
We're talking about keyfabe sense, not real sense
Climbing over the cage is more tradition now. They used to legitimately lock the cage door with chain and a pad lock. The only way out was over. They stopped locking the door more about the time the stipulation changed where you could pin or submit your opponent as well.
They do submission moves on the table so they dont have ropes to go to
Climbing up the ladder slowly gives a elusion and effect that the wrestler is injured or Worn down and All that aspecually after a long time
WWE:we gotta do something about this guy 💀
Great video! I 100% agree! But the whole chair shopping now I understand why people can't just do the protected chair shot again? It looks real when done right so might as well continue on doing that.
Say someone has a 30 minute ladder match, naturally it would be tiring to climb a ladder. If they didn’t seem tired, it would be seen as unlogical as the in-ring performers would be flying up ladders like they just started the match. It’s also about hype in the match and anticipation
I think the reason they clear the stuff off the table it's because any object on the table can actually hurt your body more than the table itself. For example If there was a pencil or a pen if you do a move through announce table the pencil can actually go through your back.
in kayfabe, a pen or pencil can hurt the offender just as much as the victim.
Climbing the steel cage spot is exciting
They left out that stupid spot in the middle of the match where the two wrestler's trade blows back and forth in the center of the ring that happens in every match over ten minutes....
I think that’s just a you thing
@@BluCarnage you must not watch wrestling
@Kevin Green born-1996 Thank you
@@toddrichardson8595 I like the way they do it in Japan. Shows battle fatigue to enhance the story being told during the match. Looks really brutal too
I hate when they Irish whip their opponent into the ropes and then duck down and wait to be kicked in the head, I always thought that was stupid.
I agree that it's stupid, but I think the whole point is the wrestler is preparing to do a back body drop. But there are still issues, like wrestlers who never actually do that move doing this spot, and the fact that they look down way too soon, sooner than they would if they actually execute a back body drop. If they waited until the last second and were met with a kick *while* they were in the motion of ducking, and the commentary put over that they were going for a back body drop, then it might look good. Maybe xD
(4:12) (supermoves) not just the leg drop of doom "hogan leg drop" and peoples elbow "a normal running elbow drop" but the superkick , frog splash and chokeslam cause when shawn , rey , big show , kane and the undertaker do these moves the match is finished its done but when some other 205 or other wrestlers not using these moves as finishers use the move just a 1 2 no or 1 count WOW what a show!
The no headshots makes sense kayfabe wise. If you hit someone in the head with a chair, you get fined. Same reason sports leagues have rules againt unnecessary roughness.
But doesn't make sense in a no DQ or a No Holds Barred match. THERE ARE NO F**ING RULES
@@Kaminari_Akuma Hell, if you can't get disqualified, why not just bring a gun and shoot your opponent? Because there are serious consrquences that don't involve losing the match. In this case, you go out and hit someone in the head, you face consequences related.to your job. Do it enough times, maybe you get fired. Now you may ask, why don't people face consequences for running over their opponent with cars, abducting their opponent, and all kinds of bullshit like that. That's a good point! Because that happens outside the context of a match more often than not, and as independent contractors, the wrestlers are therefore on their own time, and thus aren't subject to corporate rules. It's obvious, when you think about it.
@@PhoxyIlluminata Don't mix kayfabe sense with real sense
@@Kaminari_Akuma What? In Kayfabe people get suspended and fined and stripped of titles for things they did, moves get banned, etc. A blanket kayfabe ban on head shots from chairs (a very common thing in wrestling, so an easy thing to point to) makes perfect sense.
Wanna fix the problem of these spots fine them for $1000 dollars each time they do it. They lose enough money they'll stop doing them.
hogan's legdrop made more sense earlier in his career. back in the day, he would get some serious air. he also has very large legs.
