Aren't throat shots, like, illegal?

I don’t know that it’s much worse than the Superman punch.

C*dy acknowledging the chicken is smart, will help make the bit run out faster online.

The problem is that we are in the Vince Everywhere System, so now there's more a chance Vince thinks it's a Good poo poo bit and might have a rubber chicken ready to throw at C*dy after matches; get t-shirts made.

Cody can only pray that the rubber chicken thing dies the same sort of death that "Fandago-ing" did, when Vince tried to milk that for all it was worth

something that annoyed me about the spike is that everyone sells it by crumpling, but you really should grab at your throat since it’s a trachea shot. I went and found videos of umanga doing it, and you wanna know who sold the poo poo out of that move? John Cena. what a worker

It's like punches being illegal. They are until they aren't.

I dunno, it's not in the top tier of wrestling moves because there's no headdrop or flip but Samoan Spike is fine. It'd suck being stabbed in the throat by a guy that strong

The Samoan Spike rules. Solo has to work more on making it look vicious like Umaga. And yeah people need to sell it better.

Yeah, the Spike kicks rear end. Umaga also kicked rear end. Honestly surprised at how many people sold that as an impact move and not a throat-damage move. I wonder if there was some directive to not clutch at your throat or something by Vince/sponsors. Wouldn't surprise me from the same company that fired Danielson for the Justin Roberts tie choke.

There's a part in the 08 Rumble where Batista's on the outside of the ring, laying there and selling the spike like he just drank something with pineapple in it.

All's I'll say is anyone who thinks that Vince hasn't already got "Cody" and "rubber chicken" permanently associated in his brain from here on out, or that Cody addressing it is somehow going to allow him to quickly move past it, is someone who clearly hasn't been paying attention to WWE over the past couple of decades or so

I don't wanna see Cody die. The Codyverse is contained on the WWE. He bet on himself. He is heavily featured on the most watched wrestling show in the US and he is getting paid. None of us are punching down when we make fun of Cody. But, he takes himself so seriously, and the end of his run in AEW was a mess, it's just fun to take the piss out of him. Also WWE is a terrible company full of terrible people. So, I love hearing about Cody losing because it's funny. Also rubber chicken.
