Wahoo McDaniel like Jake was one of my faves in South Florida a young Jake trying so hard to get over in the Florida territory when he came in . Had me hooked early on so he must have done a good job. 💯
In the 1990 Royal Rumble ... Ted DiBiase who was No.1 in the ring, almost 40 or so minutes in got stuck on the far side (to the camera) ropes between Ultimate Warrior and Jim Neidhart who were just alternating hitting poor Ted with chop after chop because he kept falling back on the ropes and bouncing off them between chops. Anvil would chop him from Ted's right, he'd bounce off the ropes and Warrior would chop him from Ted's left etc etc. They actually got in about 7 or 8 shots before he eventually he did what Jake said, he couldn't take any more and dived for the mat.
I remember the first time I saw the tape of the Great American Bash where Sting beat Ric Flair for his first NWA/WCW World title and Jim Ross in commentary noted just how beet red Sting's chest was after all the chops Flair had laid into him. And a lot of those Sting had to no sell even if they were, pardon the pun, stinging like a son of a bitch.
I would like to get Jake’s opinion on those AEW chopfests. I think they have a guy from New Japan that does a whole bunch of slaps (they call ‘em chops) that have no wind up or much impact. To me, that and the My Turn Your Turn forearm exchanges are just part of the problem with the modern style.

Everyone says this
It'd be cool to have seen Wahoo and Gunther have a chop-off
Wahoo would win
