Behold, The Most Insane Wrestling Spot You'll See All Year
A flaming elbow drop off a pier and into the ocean? Sure, why not.
You will struggle to find a crazier wrestling spot this year than the one currently doing the rounds on TikTok and Reddit, featuring an independent wrestler lighting his elbow pad on fire before diving off a pier.
The clip comes from TikTok user @gamedaytrading. It is presented as if the person filming has stumbled on a wrestling show, noting a steel cage surrounding a ring in a beachside setting. The action then takes them along the peer, where two pugilists are standing precariously on the edge, throwing strikes at one another.
Note the "No jumping or diving" sign on the post they are using for balance. That gets ignored when the bigger of the two men falls into the ocean after eating a wind-up punch, before the aggressor whips out a lighter, sets his pad ablaze, and attempts an elbow drop into the water.
Which misses the target.
Brilliant.
The clip started getting traction in wrestling circles when Reddit user u/Mysterious_Emotion63 aggregated it on Sunday. While the event hasn't yet been identified, the wrestlers are believed to be Terex and Mikey Gordon, described as "an absolute piece of sh*t" by commenter u/TechnoWizard0651.
