>>8030057>>8030086Machine Gun Chop spot is built around fighting spirit. It doesn't work as well if it's supposed to be a competitive match where winning is everything. But a lot of puro is more about being a man, how much you can take and keep going, how many times you can get knocked down and stand back up. That's why you see exchanges where it makes little sense in a competitive match, with guys trading chops or forearms, etc.
It's about machismo, it's about guts.
The Machine Gun Chop spot, when well executed, is built around fighting spirit psychology. It needs to happen in a match where the guy is trying to punish his opponent and the opponent will willingly take the punishment to prove his manhood.
Kingston does an okay job of this, most of his matches aren't about wins or losses -- they're grudge matches, so machismo spots work well.
