10 Most Perfectly Timed Wrestling Spots Ever

2. PAC Is A Supernatural Entity

The full spot can be seen here.

In a forgotten eight-man banger spewed out from the Codyverse, Cody, PAC, and the Lucha Bros. took on Malakai Black, Andrade and FTR on the November 24, 2021 Dynamite. It was a sensational match that escalated its action to perfection. It never stopped peaking, it was, through the weight belt shenanigans, the most fun use of Cody absolutely no-selling a heel turn, and Cash Wheeler was a total delight working an acrobatic style - that he can do, and do very well - but only in jest to taunt his lucha specialist rivals.

The match however belonged to PAC, who, as a literal machine, must be included in this list.

In the best spot of the match, Cody inadvertently kicked PAC in the face, who slumped by the turnbuckles. Andrade capitalised on the confusion by dropping Cody with a spinning inverted facelock elbow drop. He then ran to the corner and attempted to drop PAC with the running double knee strike, but PAC, using the top ropes to drag himself upwards, caught Andrade mid-sprint and dropped him onto the bottom turnbuckle with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex.

PAC didn't pop up, either; to get the element of Andrade's dread over, he lurched upwards, like something unspeakable, the timing of which was outrageous.

The contrast in pace here was just impossible to get right, but apparently not.
