Wrestlers Adding a Flip, Twist or Handspring to a Basic Move Unappreciation

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Its a fine line between impressive and over the top ridiculous. As time goes on there's less and less innovation to be had so anyone trying to be original or innovative only has so many different ways they can try to do something unique...which yes, results in a lot of extra flippy shyt.

When's the last time you saw any wrestler do a genuine "new move" you've never seen before?

The people's elbow is a good example of what this thread is talking about...

Canadian destroyer. 450 Splash. Moonsault. Harlem Hangover. All these because of the revolution of the body add impact to the original move. Sometimes they make sense.

I didn't say anything about top rope moves. Or those standing SSPs, 450s, etc.

Just shyt like @Heelish posted.

i like Angelo Dawkins spinning stinger splash

Last night That was the second move in the first match where shyt was unnecessary.

Feels like you're throwing shots at RVG, Rob Van Goat

Rolling Thunder is the only move I can think about where it was ehhh.

Oh wait that wasnt ridiculous enough

Shoulda expected you to throw a shot in.

Starship Pain

Starship Struggle.

But yeah, some moves are overkill on theatrics.

The others sure, but the Canadian Destroyer is still the WOAT kayfabe breaking move.

Wrestling would have been better off if it had never been invented or gotten over.

That's the problem. It's all a joke to the bucks.

That shyt didn't even add anything to that tombstone. At least a fella get kicked in the head with chasing the dragon

I'm against too much flips, and the second one is ridiculous, but the first one has a reason. It's a second guy adding more drive down on the body. The higher you are, the more velocity you got coming down. That's one move that makes sense in kayfabe. But I mean, he could have just climbed the the top turnbuckle.....
