13 Most Insane Wrestling Spots Of The Week (Sept 27)
Ziggler performs Dudley offense while a one-legged man wows on TNA.
Now that the WWE is in the wake of Night of Champions, the wrestling world has had to come to terms with the fact that Kane is the newest challenger to Seth Rollins' WWE World Heavyweight Championship. While I've found the split personality head games of Kane mildly amusing, this is far from the most marquee matchup that could be offered.
A Kane challenge against Seth Rollins might not be the most marquee rivalry WWE can offer but at least Kane has all of his limbs. Looking at TNA, a one-legged man defeated one of their former World Champions. I'm all for a good underdog story, especially when it's the celebration of a war hero, but something's off here.
Ring of Honor offered some decent matchups this week, including one by Michael Elgin. The former ROH World Champ is back from the G1 Climax Tournament and was more than willing to create a couple of .gif-able moments with Silas Young.
Lastly, there's been some good news this past week in the form of an announcement of a Season 2 from Lucha Underground. The new round of action from Boyle Heights begins in 2016 will no doubt give a healthy boost to our weekly spot count.
As for the promotions currently on the air, here are the 13 most insane spots of the past week...
13. Cesaro Rolls And Rolls And Rolls
If a Giant Swing doesn't actually hurt your opponent, but is still effective because of how severely is disorients your opponents, then surely that tactic will work with other moves, right? On Smackdown, the King of Swing tested this theory out with a rolling cradle on the inspirational Bo Dallas.
Cesaro's legs are hooked around the torso of Bo while they are both seated and he rolls Bo's body over. If he stopped right there, his shoulders would've been down for a pin. The ref can be seen setting up to call the pinfall during the first rotation, but has to get up because Cesaro keeps rolling him. And keeps rolling him. He finally stopped for a pinfall, but only got a 2 count.
I counted 7.5 rotations on Bo. If Cesaro plans on doing this one again, that's his number to beat.
