Very interesting perspective on the indie scene

[@kpimkpim349]

He's right. Not a wrestler but if you think of a real fight, using your body to destroy someone only makes sense if 1. The person is so powerful that you have to self-sacrifice after everything else failed 2. The desire to have your enemy destroyed is more important to you than surviving surviving. In reality it's like a solider jumping on a grenade because the stakes are that high. That's a PPV title match 1+ year beef decision. But if you do it to everyone and their mother who cares?

That angle moonsault was absolutely amazing especially considering he knew the bump was gonna HURT

[@danielocean3699]

This was very interesting. I just watched John cena rewatch his first match and he was very critical of it because he said a lot of things that he and Kurt were doing in the match were seemingly for no reason

Such a likeable guy, great video.

Storytelling in Wrestling looks more real then movies

[@heartsolesneakerclub7829]

Need him back in WWE

[@johnny5805]

Man ! What a body !

[@TheSinlessAssassin]

Yeah kinda hate how superkicks are so spammable and survivable now. You'd think it makes everyone look more resilient for surviving, but imo it makes the people performing the moves look weak because they're moves aren't as effective as they would be if performed by someone more credible.

[@AIfactos1]

So what he's saying is don't be Jeff Hardy right?

[@defjulz]

To every rule there is an exception. Jeff is a lot smaller than Bobby so it makes sense that he would need to do those high flying moves to get the win.

[@gauban986]

I think hes talking about indie small wrestlers who does nothing but flips and kicks with no storytelling Jeff Hardy is way above than sny indie midgets.

[@danielocean3699]

I swear I was thinking of him the whole time he was talking

Me I was thinking Ricochet.

[@Tranceplant82]

I get it but it's still a style of wrestling that is popular today. I think they know the risks and they don't mind because that's what they want to do.
