Technico Support Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 "Keith Lee vs hilariously smaller guy" is always a winner.

From his trajectory, he probably grazes Lee or lands in front of him. This isn't an indy wrestling thing. Wrestlers have always telegraphed reversal spots. Bobby Eaton used to do a whip-the-guy-into-the-corner-turnbuckle-and-run-at-the guy-afterwards spot where he'd run to the corner and jump at his opponent with his legs spread. The opponent would always move and Bobby would crotch himself against the turnbuckle. If the opponent doesn't move, I have no clue what move Bobby could do from that position. 1 1
clintthecrippler Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 See also: every attempt at a top-rope maneuver on an opponent prone laying on the mat that is countered by raising a boot. 3 1

The guy coming off the top is SUPPOSED to make it look like he's going for a fistdrop of something of that nature (elbow, axhandle, whatevs), and the guy on the mat is SUPPOSED to look like he surprised the jumper with the boot. Most people just go through the motions so it's just, "Hey I jumped into your raised boot." 1
Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Thesz Press in the corner! (I mean... maybe?)

Marty Sugar Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I must have someone on ignore in between my posts and yours. Neat.

I was mostly joking, people (not necessarily Eaton) usually hit monkey flips out of the corner. I could kinda see that being what he's trying in terms of kayfabe. Of course, it's moot if he never actually hits it.

Marty Sugar Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 P.S. I was looking for a gif of Eaton and found this beauty clothesline by Stunning Steve. 5

Marty Sugar Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 See? Totally doable if Arn Anderson is around. Piece of cake. 1
Spritenaut 32 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Found this while i was looking for a "telegraph the boot to the face" gif. Lol lol lol lol 1 3 1

As a kid I always assumed Bobby (or whoever did the bump) was going for a monkey flip. 1

Spritenaut 32 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Opponents selling moves that don't land is always funny.
Ryan Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 His toe may have slightly touched him on the attempted stomp thing! Alex Kozlov, I can't explain, maybe "Young Bucks were there, everyone fall."

Whenever Randy Orton would do a Thesz press he'd put his legs back and lead with his hips. So he was basically doing a flying dickface. 1
