How were the Beverley Brothers allowed to do this garbage finisher back in the day???

Those jobbers couldn't even pick up their kids anymore

pure lunatic talk to be upping that sh-t

 

[patscorpio]

How do you think a roided, coked up, pilled up wrestler from that era would respond to a jobber telling them how to work a match

Spoiler

some jobbers actually had legit shooting / fight skills...the stars knew who they could pull that bullshyt with without getting stretched or legit beaten up lol

Jaida Parker no sold a top rope Spanish fly and the Destroyer is the most overused piledriver everywhere. Comparing wrestling moves back then until now is dumb.

Yeah, indie nonsense is a virus that has infected the business all around, but AEW is full blown infected.

I just see it as a sign of the times. Stunner, Rock Bottom, Pedigree, Tombstone are all regular moves now.

When I got back into Indy wrestling it definitely had me to see how much shyt was just another move, but I adapted to it.

Now it’s in both companies. Even Cody has to do 3 Cross Rhodes to finish matches.

I'm okay when finishers become normal moves (everything you see used to be a finisher including the Irish Whip) but I hate when head spike into the mat moves become normal ones. That shyt is literally the most devastating thing you can do to a person. Slamming the mat into someone's head/neck/spine with at least 400 combined lbs of force is not something people should be able to continue from generally speaking.

I saw Gray Maynard KO himself while trying to slam Frankie Edgar and he turned that shyt into a DDT.

Come on man

But that's the indie style of doing things.

Taking moves that would actually kill people & making them meaningless.

That's why the saying is "the difference between the past & today is, the marks are in the ring" rings true.

Things like power bombs, DDTs, & German Suplex's should in theory be the most devastating thing you could do to somebody in real life, but in our screwed up indie-infected world, they're transition moves.

People get powerbombed and suplexed all the time irl and scramble back up. piledrivers and ddts will fukk someone up for real immediately if successful

If somebody powerbombs you good, you aint getting back up.

That's literally slamming you on the back of your head & neck unprotected.

If somebody gets right back up, it's because they didn't do it right.

Those been spammed since the 90s, long before the indie style became a thing. You’re overthinking this shyt trying to use real life for play fighting.
