Schneider Heim posted:When a hoss no-sells their opponent's strikes, goading them to hit harder, and then proceeds to turn them inside out with a lariat This reminds me of when a guy no-sells a strike, goads them to hit harder, but instead of absorbing more shots the next strike knocks them on their rear end. That is a cool thing.

DeathChicken posted:Guys who are on the Total Loser tier of wrestlers pulling off shock wins is great stuff. 1-2-3 Kid over Razor Ramon, Barry Horowitz over Skip. Slight variation, and he didn’t get the win, but the TAKA vs HHH title match when TAKA hires the APA to watch his back is one of my favorite one of these.

No Irish Need Imply posted:I remember it once didn't backfire against Carlito and the GDT flipped the gently caress out. It is apparently a callback to Flair's 1st World Championship win, in which he successfully came off the top rope for the finish. It's a clever bit of long term storytelling, then, to have Flair never give up on the tactic that worked so well the first time no matter how many times it's failed him since, but it requires periodically explaining/reminding the audience of that bit of trivia to provide context, which is just the sort of historical acknowledgment wrestling has always been deliberately bad at providing (especially Vince), and so without that it just becomes this dumb thing Flair inexplicably always does.

Heels cutting off hot tags. Babyfaces waiting for the hot tag clapping their hands or stomping their feet on the apron to inspire the fans to do the same. Heels pointing to their heads to indicate their intelligence. Heels overselling offense during the babyface comeback. Wrestler/manager mugging in the background while their partner/charge cuts a promo(Missy Hyatt was great at this).

If Flair was wrestling as a face, he'd hit the top rope move If he was wrestling as a heel, he'd always get caught.

blast0rama posted:You. Can’t. Powerbomb. Kidman. I feel this is such an understated rule in wrestling. Also, the concept that unless reversed either as soon as it happens (or they either hold onto the ropes on the first rebound or jump over or through them after the first bound to attack someone outside the ring), an Irish whip will never end and the whipped wrestler will be doomed to run the ropes over and over until they're out of stamina. Sheamus did it to Curtis Axel one time and it was great.

^^ It must be emphasized that everyone tried to powerbomb Kidman even if they don't usually do one. I seem to remember that in their infamous match, even Hogan did it.DJExile posted:This rule's incredibly rare breaking was one of the great little parts about the infamous barbed wire christmas tree match Rellik (I T I S " K I L L E R " S P E L L E D B A C K W A R D S) got irish whipped towards the tree and just slammed on the brakes.

Big Men doing super athletic stuff. The most clear non-rare example is when John Cena jumps over like a 7 foot opponent and still had like a foot of clearance. Or Undertaker walking the ropes.

DLC Inc posted:I've never seen a single LU thing so I suppose I should because I love Luchasaurus and Pentagon Lucha Underground is weird. When it's good, it's really good, but it gets kind of lackluster and spotty as it goes on. It's a show that doesn't take itself seriously. It's also a "serialized drama" that is also a wrestling show. You really have to suspend disbelief when you watch it. The King of Trios final match from season 1 has one of the most insane spots ever.

The huge giant getting kicked into the ropes, stumbling and then getting tied up between middle and top rope. The corner mount ten punch combo on taker which turns into a last ride.

I'm a fan of the very simple stuff, done right. My absolute favourite is: Heels using a numerical advantage, usually after a loss in the ring. Who will stop this carnage? OH MAH GAWD, that's X's music! The victim's closest ally and friend! Faces clean house and stand tall. Heels swear revenge after running away. It's not hard, WWE.
