10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Do Their Own Moves

7. Charlotte Flair's Moonsault

Being able to flip your entire body over in the middle of the air is insanely impressive. It's a skill that requires a bit of rewiring of your instincts that tell you that your feet should stay on your ground and by no means should your head ever be below them. The Moonsault is perhaps even worse, since the move is done backwards, facing away from your landing spot.

That being said, just because you're able to flip doesn't mean you've mastered a move.

As Charlotte Flair demonstrates on a frequent basis, timing your rotation is imperative, as is making sure you stick the landing. It probably doesn't help either that she's very tall and even more so that she has a history of cheerleading, so it's in her nature to land on her feet. As it is, most of her Moonsault landings are rough at best as she flips too soon and lands on her ankles rather than pressing her opponent flat.

On the other hand, Moonsaulting to the outside means she at least has to land on her feet which she does almost every time. Shame then that her standing Moonsault always miss her opponents by so much that she may as well have jumped off the turnbuckle and landed in a different area code.
