It's not as if spots just started happening, obviously, but the pre-prepared pursuit of crafting the perfect one is a uniquely late 20th century development. The old approach, of feeling out the crowd, is mostly lost to time - as is the worked punch.

This, incidentally, was just another thing in wrestling that looked cool without making sense. Few sold their hands after launching into a barrage of blows. Why not?

Because it's fake.

It was - just like the Canadian destroyer! - an awesome spot regardless, the timing of which was performed incredibly well by the master practitioners.

But who had the very best working punch in wrestling?

Terry Funk had a cracking, calculated jab on him. Jerry Lawler swung 'em more wildly, and drew mega pops for his haymaker. Butch Reed registered his stopping power to perfection.

But Bobby Eaton's were the most beautiful; whether he was sizing up his opponent or just smashing their faces back at a 180 degree angle, his bunches spot was just so fiery and clean.
