Swerve's finish off of the corner is terrible. He's got so much going for him, but that finisher is ass.

Old School still sucks ass and doesn't comform with logic. It pulls me out of the willing suspension of disbelief. Just pull the nigga down, kick the rope, he dead for shoot.

in a world where everyone is now familiar with MMA i find most submission shitty looking. especially sharpshooters where they just bend their knees a bit

Even Benoit's Crippler Crossface is legit. Look at the ending of Conor vs Khabib. That shit will break your jaw. There was even a video where a fighter's upper jaw caved because he didn't tap.

Yes, pro wrestling doesn't know how submission moves work. They think it's just a matter of whether you can stand the pain. In reality if you get caught in one it's basically over.

The psychology is that Undertaker twisted his arm so his opponent is in pain and can't move the whole time. Today's wrestlers that do it miss that part, which is why their move looks stupid

I know this already, and I agree with the principal, but it still looks stupid even when Undertaker did it. There ain't reason to walk the rope very very slowly.

In the old days, they used to pull him down if it was early in the match and they weren't beat down enough and then he would be able to hit it when he tried later near the end.

The People’s Elbow and The Worm are also stupid because if the guy is down that long then why not just pin them? But guess what? When you’re that level over you can get away with it.

Bandido is awesome and I think you can make the move work sometimes, but the 21 Plex as his every match finisher is fucking terrible. There's nothing wrong with "Move+theatrics", but when the theatrics involves your opponent staying in a weird, forced position for seconds at a time? That shit sucks. Alberto Del Reio's jumping stomp move had the same issue.

I think someone should tell Bandido to tell people to go to the "619" position, he can deadlift german them from that position anyway and at least it looks less fake

It's just ugly, that's the main issue. We all know Bad News Brown was a shoot tough guy, and we all know that "Ghetto Blaster" is a top tier name for a move. But he didn't have the execution for it. Owen Hart's enziguri looked a million times better because Owen Hart was a million times better

I think it just shows most of the people taking the move are simply bad compared to Mortos, who sold being on the ropes, looked behind him just in time to move and put his hands on the ropes. That's how the move should always be taken, even without the weird GTS setup.
Mortos is based.

>we have to flippy-fy a damn German suplex
No matter what setup, the convoluted half flip on top of the guy for "momentum" is just unfitting.
Also no one posted Mercedes' weird ass finisher yet, you know the one. Has an incredibly awkward setup and most times an even worse execution
