14 Hot Takes On The Week In Wrestling (Jan 13th)

8. Moves That Need Retiring, Part 2

Seriously, that goddamn dive through the ropes used to be so cool. It was a genuine high spot, it made everyone stand up and go WHOA, and the announcers put it over like dude just killed a man. Right now, it's a transitional move that fully two thirds of the people on the roster can do, and Dean Ambrose. Its come to the point now that when I see it about to happen I feel myself wanting to flip the guy the bird. My middle finger starts spasming and everything. Luke Harper can do it as often as he likes, though. I know it's playing favourites and I do not care: if I saw a huge bearded psychopath flying through the air at me I would die of fright long before he actually hit me. Let's make it Harper's move from now on. He can have the superplex too, as long as he sells the bloody thing.
