10 Most Humiliating Wrestling Moves
7. KENTA Wipes The Sh*t From His Boot
You know what the most overused word in all of wrestling is?
"Sh*t".
AEW is guilty of overdoing it, and really, they'll never do it better than Jim Ross on the Dynamite premiere. This was subtle. It felt like an organic reaction to something, even if it was a preemptive response to the "Holy sh*t!" chant that Jake Hager was sure to receive. ""Holy sh*t" is right!" JR bellowed.
This was so good; not grabby at all, that the authoritative pearl-clutcher said this was so effective in putting over the carnage of that wild, multi-layered closing angle. A wrestler can call their rival a "piece of sh*t" all they like - over three years in, it always gets a pop - but the effect is never the same as when KENTA does it. He's a sensational swear artist, yes, but he's far more effective at conveying that his opponent is a piece of sh*t in the language of professional wrestling.
In reality, KENTA is the piece of sh*t, and that's what gets the act over years and years removed from his awesome physical prime. He slaps his opponents on the top of the head. He kicks them in the head.
And then, he scrapes his boot on the canvas like his opponent's battered head is a dollop of dog sh*t that has made its way onto the sole.
