5. Ten Punch Combo By The Turnbuckle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0dB9Fxqgow It's a move that goes back probably 30 or 40 years. The babyface punching somebody in the corner by the turnbuckles is a classic wrestling move that is done to excite the crowd. With the heel standing against the turnbuckle, the babyface steps onto the middle ropes and stands with his crotch right in the guy's face. The face might hold his hand in a fist to signal to the crowd what's coming. They know. They've seen it so many times before. That leads to the face punching the heel ten times in the face with the crowd chanting along ("one, two, three" and so on) and then the heel usually ends up falling down when it's over. Since it's wrestling, nobody ever really blocks punches and they are forced to sit there like a dumbass while getting punched in the head repeatedly. The only person that seems to be able to counter this hold is The Undertaker, who used to do a spot where he would hit a Powerbomb out of the corner. Most people just sit their taking the ten punches to the head. Any punch in wrestling is fake looking because if you punched somebody in the face without them blocking it they would probably get knocked out or at least stunned. It's just that the ten punch spot is especially cheap looking, so that's why it made it on here.
