AxB Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 So John Ritchie was given the nickname Sic Vicious after John Lydon's pet hamster, Sid. But that hamster was named after the wrestler Cyanide Sid Cooper. So the fact that the name wound up back on a wrestler is just things going full circle. 9 1

If you're starting to get down on yourself for not having a physique like that, he'd like you to know that yours is no disgrace either... 2 2

Jay Lethal realizing that Ric Flair may well die from a superplex and nixing the spot in Flair's last match comes to mind... 2

Craig H Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Now I want this to be someone's gimmick. Where their confidence level during a match gets way too high and they're like, fuck yeah, I AM going to jump off this top rope, and then they, I don't know, climb down and jump off the bottom rope instead. Surely, this has to be a thing somewhere out in socal indy scene, right?
Zimbra Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Can't remember the match, but it was one with a manager or other non-wrestler wrestling where they went up to the top rope for a move, thought better of it and moved down to the second rope, and then thought better of that and went to the bottom rope before jumping off. That was a good spot. 3
odessasteps Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 I've also seen guys doing an anti-hardcore/high flyer gimmick pretend to do a move and do a safer version. Maybe Foley did that in ecw.

That was a good spot. I know Heenan did one like this at Survivor Series 89, when he had to sub in when Tully got fired. He acutally was teasing it TO THE OUTSIDE! He started on the second rope, then eventually went down the floor for an eye rake. 1
Hamhock Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 There was a comedy spot like this in 205 Live involving Gulak warning Jack Gallagher that something was too risky.

BloodyChamp Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Ok I read that like “stupid like Sting and climbed down” aka stupid like Sting who climbed down. Eh...I know it’s 2023 but he had to do it once he got up there I think. There has to be more answers to the real question but I’ll be danged if I can think of 1 right now.
