WWE: Wrestling's Top 10 High Spots

9. Yuko Miyamoto Performs Olympic Quality Moonsault In Scaffold Death Match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Hkgz1mDUsf8 Yuko Miyamoto vs. Masashi Takeda was always a bloody affair whenever they got in the ring together. The majority of their matches (if you can call them that) were bloody filled spot fests featuring glass, tables and scaffolding. In one particular match - known as a Scaffold Death Match - the two men beat each other half to death covering the ring with snot, blood and guts. In a moment of madness Yuko Miyamoto climbs to the top of the dangerously unsteady looking scaffold and performs a beautiful looking, perfectly executed moonsault. It's like watching an Olympic diver perform a gold medal winning dive except instead of a gentle splash into the water the diver crashes down, knees first into the bloody body of a half dead opponent. Such a perfect looking move had no real place in such a gory match but really brings home exactly how determined the international contingent are to steal the show. A moonsault from a high platform in the WWE wouldn't come close to looking this great.
