Maybe you want to holster a move like the Shooting Star Press for a later date rather than pulling it out at WrestleMania, in front of the entire world, when you have not successfully executed it in two years.

Just a thought that maybe Brock Lesnar should have had before he scaled the ropes launched himself halfway across the ring and nearly broke his frickin' neck in the main event of wrestling's greatest extravaganza in 2003.

Competing against Kurt Angle in a dream match of amateur wrestling greats, Lesnar dove into a bag of tricks he had stored away since his days in developmental. It was admirable that he would attempt the one move fans had been buzzing about since his call-up to the main roster but at the same time, a more seasoned performer would have known to abort it when he saw how far across the ring his opponent was.

He was not, he did not and the result is, arguably, the most infamous botch in WrestleMania history.
