11 Things That Only Make Sense In Wrestling (... AND Nowhere Else)
5. Taking A Move In A Multiple Person Match Will Knock You Out For Longer
Regardless of when or where you're superkicked in the face or powerslammed in the real world, there's a good chance the amount of time you're out of commission will be largely consistent.
When that kind of impact goes down in the middle of a wrestling ring, though, the sort of match you're involved in seemingly has an effect on exactly how much those attacks suck.
For example, if a star is hit by a person flying over the top rope in a standard singles match, that wrestler will likely be knocked silly for a second or two. However, they'll be back on their feet soon enough.
But take that very same manoeuvre during a multi-person contest - be that ladder, Elimination Chamber, or another match containing a lot of talent - and for some reason wrestlers act like they've been hit by a human bus, lying around on the ground for minutes on end in the aftermath.
