WWE: 12 Unbelievable Moves That Ruin The Magic Of Kayfabe
11. The Slingshot
The Move: A wrestler takes hold of the legs of a downed opponent, and proceeds to fall back, catapulting the floored wrestler into an object, usually a turnbuckle. How The Opponent Helps: By launching themselves forward once they've returned to a standing position. Why It's Unbelievable: Look, it's just impossible to launch someone like that with such little momentum. Realistically, what should really happen is the Wrestler who's being slingshotted would just be able to stand up. Look at any slingshot being performed, you can always see the guy bend his knees and take a jump once he's upright.
