And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
WWE's Most Wanted Treasures is a lower rent Storage Wars and think of the ground that covers.

It's funny how this seems way less safe than just tossing the guy and not trying to control the landing at all (i.e Ego's Edge and I think Hernandez' Border Crossing):

Like, both of those just end up in pretty standard flat back bumps

Didn't they fire the host of the last WWE's Most Wanted Treasures show? I think he was the guy who bragged on Twitter that his faction will never releases because they're great talkers and the faction got released a week later.

Deadline posted:

Plans call for 35 new episodes of Biography: WWE Legends. Production is also beginning on 24 new episodes of memorabilia-themed original series WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures, which will air over multiple seasons. The first season was A&E’s most-watched new series of last year, the network said.

A&E has also ordered 40 hours of WWE Rivals (working title), which will tell the stories behind the biggest clashes in WWE history, both in and out of the ring.

Yeah lol

Also regarding Edge, his run has been fine, but it should have been bigger. Just like how Bryan's return should have been bigger. Go back and compare both of them to HBK returning and you can see WWE hosed them both up. Both Edge and Bryan should've won the main titles soon after their return, because that's what people wanted to see. But since they didn't, they were both relegated to the mid card and lost a ton of heat because now everyone saw that they weren't gonna be pushed like they wanted.

I'm sure Scott Hall did that move black out drunk on numerous occasions and it didn't look that precarious.

Rivals seems easy enough to produce, because you literally pick out any feud and just recap it in 44 minutes. And they already have two previously produced network shows like it with Wrestlemania Rewind and Timeline

The other guy's head hits the mat.

It looks bad and the other guy probably could've tucked his chin more, but the angle makes it look worse.

Yeah, like someone mentioned in the Twitter thread Scott’s version has you land lower on your back so your head doesn’t go bounce like that. In the compilation he’s just driving your upper back into the mat with your head tucked and there’s no whiplash.

Edge not getting even a token reign with the prestige-less wwe title is kinda headscratching, but he did lose a significant amount of time to an injury incurred in a match with famously safe worker Randy Orton.

If that was the spot, it seems like the bump was okay but coming down with all of your body weight into someone's chest/ribs probably doesn't help.

Maybe it’s just me or Lash being bad, but the way she goes up for that move kinda looks to me like she’s already out of it.

:aronrex:

It's amazing how Lash Legend can be absolute poo poo but still have people falling over themselves to defend her. She's easily the worst wrestler in 2.0 at the moment and it's not even like she's trying too much and it's not working, she's just completely uncoordinated.

Armani positions her hard against Lash’s elbow for a push off so she seems lucid enough. When she lands he wrist and arm goes limp.

Once again another 2.0er adding extra force to a bump when they should be only following behind the person bumping

I don't remember if Scott Hall does the move as a modified backbreaker instead of a powerbomb, but Ethan Page definitely does and it's a million times smoother looking. Besides this looking dangerous, it also looks weirdly contrived for a move we've seen from other people.

Pinche Rudo
Feb 8, 2005

When Hall first did the move it was pretty rough. Even in WWF he would plant the jobbers at a pretty rough angle but put the big name guys flat on the their back. By the time he got to WCW he was almost exclusively using the flatter angle version
