St Evan Echoes posted:Bret said in his autobiography that the Edge isn't a very safe move (or at least it's really hard on your neck even if done safely), so I can understand why an advanced-years Backlund would say no to it. pretty much the entire reason Sheamus doesn't do that move anymore is because it was too risky for guys to bang their heads taking it.

Yeah, people have almost died from the Visine "prank", and if X-Pac really did that he's a colossally stupid man. Which I guess wasn't really in doubt before, but eh.

My question is why he would do that, the clique and Bret never really saw eye to eye. You would think he would find it hilarious that Bundy would refuse to submit to Bret.

Probably an "old guys vs new guard" thing. Like the Clique can gently caress with Bret, but some old timer won't put the champ over? Who does he think he is?

Even Bret essentially says that the "Kliq" was formed in recognition of the fact wrestlers had no union and were routinely played against one another by Vince. So a group of top guys made a political bloc to elevate themselves and keep it that way in the company. At the time this was happening, Bret was one of the principal competitors, aside from personal grudges that developed because Shawn was a pillhead and Bret's super-kayfabe view of the wrestling universe. I doubt many other people got along with Shawn either. It's really pretty simple.

So the DDT is one of the coolest yet simplest moves in wrestling. Despite this, people have managed to make it look not cool. Who has the worst DDT in the business? Personally, I never liked Shawn's DDT, it often ends up looking like he's getting spinebustered. Great worker, but not a great version of that move.

I am not sure what one means by "somersault," but it actually tends to look really good if the guy taking the bump takes it like he is being dropped on the top of his head. Triple H did that to one of the Spirit Squad guys and the crowd did an "OHHHH."

For a cruel twist of irony, look for any DDTs Jake did on the indie circuit when he was terribly addicted and out of shape. He can't even take the flat back bump. The DDT relies a lot on the guy taking the bump, too, so you can't always say that one guy's DDT is good or bad.

Any DDT done on the Big Show will unfortunately always end up with him rolling forward, it's just how he sells them.

The best DDT is Raven's in WCW/nWo Revenge on N64. But I don't think you can actually do that in real life without killing someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT4OIVN0QcI&t=1415s

Dusty Rhodes is one of my favorites. He can work a crowd with his promos, and he can have the whole crowd on the edge of their seats in his matches. That said, he possesses the worst DDT of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LVK0vvPeCo at 3:17

Not in pro wrestling where organizations like WWE are like high school all over again. That's what Dave Lagana actually thought his first day, it was like being back in high school all over again when he walked into the meeting room with Vince and everybody.
