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.

Do it ironically posted:

It’s a good thing noted WWE trained superstar Finn Balor came up through the performance centre system, he was awful before they got him

The list of wrestlers who got tangibly better when they reached WWE is almost universally women and even then some got worse. Sasha Banks improved a lot but was still really young (despite a few years on the indies), debatable Becky Lynch too but only because she retired real loving young and was seen as a "what might have been" before coming back. Charlotte is the clearest case as she got good very fast and probably should've won Most Improved that one year but she stagnated and then regressed hard.

Apart from that everyones gotten worse. Billie Kay was an actual worker on the indies.

Booker T had a good twisting missile dropkick in WCW too. For some reason the shotgun dropkick replaced it entirely in the last 20 years but its due for a comeback.

I don't think planchas and Tony Norris were a match for life even if he lived his best life.
Also Rey Fenix should do that dropkick.

He should steal Yoshitsune's

Yoshitsune is a sad story and a sad man.

Didn't he plant weed on Nosawa and get him arrested in Japan?

and Io Shirai!

The thing is he was spectacular, and as you can see he did ropework and things like the above the top rope tiger kick years in advance than anyone else. But he couldn't put a match together between the moves so never got recognised as not even people after him but his contemporaries.

Then he blew his entire career up.

This video was uploaded THIRTEEN years ago.

Edit 2: I havent watched this video in years and yes he does a shooting star senton during this. A move I haven't seen anyone do since except Will Ospreay.
