Have big dreams of them barking at each other as they circle up in the center of the ring before delivering cannon balls to their opponents in opposite corners

The look of pure glee on Okada's face as he was prepping to whap PAC with the chair the first time was amazing :allears:

A classic pro wrestling heel trait is that they love cheating and cannot cheat enough. Okada's immediate embrace of this is a big reason why I love the guy right now.

Also Shibata complimenting Renee's necklace was really cute in an unexpected way.

How does Okada's neck breaker not actually, yknow, break necks? Is he supporting the weight of the person on the side so it's not full coming down on the neck? poo poo looks so brutal every time, I love it and his nonchalant "Yeah I just did that" reaction afterwards.

Copeland's delivery always feels incredibly fake to me, like he comes up with something hours before but tries to make it sound off the cuff and it's very unnatural. in ring pretty fun though!

a lot of times, as fans get older, the moves that are sick and cool make us worry. It's because as we age, we overly worry about these guys getting hurt.

But I wouldn't worry about Okada. He's the best, I'm sure he's protecting people as much as possible during his stuff while also making it look like murder.

We're not? I was simply asking how someone takes this move without getting hurt in a non pearl clutchy way. I want him to keep doing it, it looks sick and he looks cool as hell doing it.

Someone else posted about not wanting to see moves like that. Okada has been doing that move forever, so I doubt it's a dangerous move.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

The funniest part about the tape was Hook lurking nearby giving no shits at all, and then finally being like "Better make sure my FTW belt doesn't get hurt"

Oh. Yeah I don't think he would be doing it and people would let him do it if it was legit dangerous. I'm just fascinated with the performance side of things, and the idea of putting enough trust in someone to let them do that to you.

I love hearing wrestlers talk how they put matches together and just executing stuff too.

There was a video of Kenny giving a seminar, it went on for two hours, and his talking and show moves and showing how you can build a sequence of moves without ever even talking to the other person was so awesome and cool.

I love that stuff

one of the few Steve Austin podcasts I listened to was him and Jake Roberts just chatting about working in a way that felt like it could've totally happened off mic, it still stands out as one of the best wrestling podcast episodes I've heard

Tbh I rather see people pearl clutch about rasslin' moves than the sanctity of wrestling being tarnished by AEW airing the footage of Punk.
