this Owens/Zayn promo is legit good and maybe the best they could have done without paying ROH to use their match footage

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

I'd hate that more if there wasn't a story to it (hotshot newcomer hits the taunt button too many times, gets caught) and if it wasn't almost certainly leading to him learning his lesson and punishing Ziggler in a match where the rules could be categorized as Extreme. As it is, I'm fine with it. Let's not forget the build to it consisted almost entirely of Corbin squashing Dolph.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I don't know anything about anything; why are roll-ups effective like 99.9% of the time? I get the surprise factor, I guess, but is there a kayfabe explanation like weight distribution or body positioning or something?

It just looks so dumb when a dude like Corbin just flails his legs ineffectually for three seconds, arms limp at his sides, after doing what amounts to a squash match.

Also, looking at this Owens/Zayn video pacakage, how do you take a powerbomb bump on the edge of the apron like that without it still hurting like hell? Is it just super padded?

Are you kidding? Kevin Owens killing people and Sami Zayn dying are pretty much their respective gimmicks.

That apron powerbomb is the most cringe inducing spot. Glad he doesn't do it every match, it really preserves the mystique of it even though Cena walked away after it once.

It's actually safer than it looks, it's like when Morrison would take the high bump getting knocked off the barracade. There's a lot of ways it can go wrong but in theory it's just a high bump across the shoulderblades

Its because the idea that it "protects" the wrestler because he wasn't ready instead of taking a finisher which makes him a jobber, except constantly losing to rollups is probably just as bad; problem is that a flash pin is okay, but they just use the same one over and over, there are other types of flash pins drat it!!! :argh:

They're actually extremely ineffective and if they worked as often as you claim almost every single match would end in a rollup

But when you're distracted then suddenly dropped on your shoulders it might take you three seconds to orient yourself and react
