Illinois Smith Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Alternate angle of the Skyman bump, he's really lucky he didn't whiplash the back of his head against the floor. Ground floor angle giffed for future generations
Red is Dead Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Love the photographer who clicked then looked at his camera, all nonchalant, like...
Valcourt Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 That insane bump to the floor was the end of the match, right? (The one from PR)
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 That insane bump to the floor was the end of the match, right? (The one from PR) More or less. Flanagan didn't move after that and it looked like they were legit signaling for medical attention for him. Or maybe not, since two minutes later, Banderas climbed down to the gym floor, tossed a few people out of his way, and insisted on covering Flanagan. The ref counted, so...... This being Puerto Rico, there were several run-ins after this. Banderas brawled with Savio Vega, who was managing/seconding Flanagan. Then Savio bloodied him with a bat wrapped in bard wire. Then a couple more guys ran in to attack Banderas. And finally, Ray Gonzalez did a run-in and chased off the heels (yep, Banderas - who almost threw a guy to his death - was the babyface). Flanagan was back wrestling the following week, btw.
NikoBaltimore Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Reminds me of Flanagan's death bump in PR a few years ago. Oh come on, you can't just tease us like that. I think he means this. I hope I'm not the only who thought this, but: HOLY FUCK!!!!!! I've seen some dumb shit, but this is way way up there.
Skeeball Wizard Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I remember seeing this live as it happened, thinking" No way is he gonna hit that full force". Yeah I couldn't have been more wrong, obviously. Not nearly as bad as the huge spills of the last couple pages but it still makes me cringe every time. 4
Pete Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Skyman's bump looks worse to me. He obviously botched the spot, so, on paper, the spot didn't look so bad. No idea what Flanagan was thinking when he agreed to take that bump. If you look closely at the GIF, there was a table he was supposed to land on which would've given him some padding... Banderas just sent him at the wrong angle. FWIW, I'm pretty sure Flanagan actually walked away from that under his own power.
TerjeRUN Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Japanese death match wrestling be all like:
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Japanese death match wrestling be all like: Iggy Pop is not looking good these days. 'cause I'm loose, RAF
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I remember seeing this live as it happened, thinking" No way is he gonna hit that full force".

Great spot; should have been the finish as Raven was pretty over.
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Iggy Pop is not looking good these days. When did Iggy Pop look good? And, yeah, it's a bit after the match and run-ins ended, but Flanagan did eventually get up and walk off.

Roman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 He doesn't look good there; he looks like he's got scoliosis.

They botched common sense. 2
BEN! Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I feel like Flash Flanagan also took a really dangerous bump off the balcony of the Nashville Fairgrounds as well. Could be thinking of someone else though. I kind of think Chris Michaels and Wolfie D took the same bump. I know Rick Michaels got messed up doing it. Seemed like there was a period where Bert Prentice really wanted guys to kill themselves taking that bump.
cool arrow Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 The one against Waltman was so fucking awesome because he barely even touched the ropes.
JustJay Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Hammerick always took that bump. I know and that he always took it is the crazy part.
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I saw Hamrick do the bump in London with 80 people in the crowd - crazy guy! He got the referee to not count him out by saying "give me a minute, that was quite a bump!". Much lulz.
