5. That Time She Forgot To Kick Out Of A Pin

I've never wrestled outside of childhood playing, so I don't know how difficult it is to remember what to do at certain times during a match up. Despite that, if you are booked to win a match I dare say you'd remember to kick out of all pin attempts made on you during a match?

Eva Marie famously forgot this in a match on NXT back in September 2015. She was up against Billie Kay, and after a fairly routine suplex Kay went for a lateral press. The referee counted to one, the referee counted two, and as the referee's hand was coming down a third time there was little in the way of stirring from Eva Marie.

Eva Marie forgot to kick out. The referee stopped his own count claiming Eva Marie's shoulder was off the mat, but he was most likely the only one who believed this if he did at all. The anti-Eva Marie brigade had a field day with this one.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
