Has anyone ever said "when heels quote the actual rules to refs"? Like Alexa Bliss screaming "I have until five" when they start counting at her?

His face at :22 is so, so great.

I'm a big sucker for when a guy has a finisher that's sold as absolute death. Bonus points if the announcers talk it up like it should be banned or something.

Bonus bonus points if it's Darby Allin's Coffin Drop and the announcers also point out he can barely hit the thing, but it's 100% a win if he does

When the Babyface teases something heelish to make the heel flinch, but doesn't follow through. Omega Okada 1 had this near the beginning, and Okada patronisingly patting omega's shoulder afterwards was the best.

Face is getting a beatdown from multiple heels, ones who are probably not allowed to be there, music comes on OMG it's another face here to save him, heels continue to beat the poo poo out of the face while while the rescue face takes his time to slowly saunter to the ring for the save, yknow instead of running.

I have a new favourite variation on the old trading strikes spot, which is Jordynne Grace answering each strike by trading it for a bodyslam.
