Any chance of getting a gif of the Ryback clothesline on Ziggler from Main Event? At work, can't download the video.

Totally. If he got a haircut and trimmed the beard to not look so Ned Kelly, he'd look great, but any amount of hair less than he has right now would be a win.

To be fair, the curb-stomping and the crimson mask may be somewhat colouring your perceptions here. He's rough-looking, but he's not exactly Hando from Romper Stomper.

I think it's one of the worst clotheslines I've ever seen Harper give, personally. Usually he's got a really good lariat but this is just awkward looking.

You're right, he's given much better clotheslines in the past. The camera angle doesn't do it any favours either. Nevertheless, the recipient makes it all worthwhile.

It was kind of funny watching the difference between Flair and Hart in that match. Bret was actually reacting a fair bit but he was doing it subtly, wincing or nodding or turning to look at the crowd with little,"Didya see that?" gestures. But because Flair was being really emotive and going over the top with his gestures, Bret actually kind of looks bored and uninterested by comparison.

Flair literally looks like a matinee villain in that gif. He needs a mustache to twirl.

I think it's more likely that they sat down Harper, like "Okay, Luke, we're just gonna give you a shave and a haircu--" "--okay, y'know what, never mind, you're good."

He's got a great stare. Is he any good on the mic? I'm hoping he gets a chance at a singles run sometime.

sticklefifer posted:

Scaffold matches are universally terrible because it's always a contrived brawl to get up to the top (oh no, I'm reeling up the ladder from your punches!) and the whole thing centers around that one spot. Not much else you can do when you're only fighting on a series of narrow platforms.

Wasn't there a scaffold match in some territory where Cactus Jack worked where neither worker wanted to go off the scaffold so they ended up fighting on the top, did a slam finisher up there and then had the ref make the count? Pretty sure I read that somewhere, and then afterwards they both climbed down carefully. The ref spent the entire time in the ring, and counted in the ring while the cover was going on.

I assume it was all a rib on the booker or something - it's also possible I'm remembering it incorrectly.

I made a quick Naito gif because I'm confounded by the way he flies without jumping:


His feet stay planted in the one spot with knees slightly bent, then he springs off the ropes and pushes up with his knees at the same time to jump.

Either that or he's a wizard.
