whoever came up with this stupid ass spot is at fault
hangmaam can't go after fish until he elbows oreilly, and he can't elbow oreilly until fish passes them
it takes fish about a second to reach the ropes, and in that time hangmaam has to both elbow oreilly and then catch up to fish
so either fish needs to be stupidly slow or hangmaam needs to be stupidly fast
it's not impossible, but it's needlessly convoluted for something that would look boring at best and stupid at worst. and of course they botched it, so now it looks doubly stupid.
the way spots like this are supposed to work with the surprise clothesline interception is that the other guy needs to be right on his heels, he doesn't have time to play fuck-fuck games with a second dude, the ring isn't that fucking big that he'll have reasonable time to close the distance
