I hate it. I've heard about Joe no selling a lady of the lake by Colt Cabana and just kicking him and it pissed me off to no end. I'd like the see the opponents of guys who pull stuff like that just snap and beat them unmercifully. I'd be more offended if anyone did sell a Lady of the Lake. That move is dumb. The move is okay in the right contexts, like Chikara or something, or in UK wrestling since I think outright kicking the guy was against the rules, but in most wrestling, it is just moronic for the other guy to not just stomp them. I am sure Colt was in on it and it wasn't just Joe being a dick.

I'm sure people are lining up to take liberties with Samoa Joe. I read this as talk liberties. Samoa Joe: "I know you didn't ask; but did you know that Liberty is a historically controversial philosophy? One understanding of liberty asserts that freedom is found in a person's ability to exercise agency, particularly in the sense of one having the freedom to choose what authorities one will submit to agency with in exchange for rights derived from that authority to develop resources to carry out their own will, without being inhibited; a Social Contract. According to Thomas Hobbes, for example, "a free man is he that... is not hindered to do what he hath the will to do." Random wrestler: "Ya, whatever you say, Joe. Lighten up on that headlock, though, bud." If Joe ever cut a promo with philosophical and well thought out points like you posted It would be the new boom period for TNA.

I'd like the see the opponents of guys who pull stuff like that just snap and beat them unmercifully. Because no-selling a comedy jobber is just unheard of. I know I'm probably missing the point, but what exactly is a 'lady of the lake'.? Please pardon my ignorance........

Okay but the big question is... what the f*** is a Lady of the Lake? Guy basically ties himself into a knot, making it difficult to lock him into any meaningful submission. Made sense in UK wrestling since I don't think you were allowed to just kick people on the ground, and it would stall for time until a round ended or you could reverse their attempts to get you out of it. Lady In The Lake refers to how they would sometimes have one arm sticking out of the knot, basically like the sword King Arthur received from the Lady in the Lake. This arm was usually just a lure, though, and trying to lock them from it just gets them arm dragged or otherwise thrown off by it.

Moondog Spot was on his way out of WWF in late 86/early 87 and Koko pinned him and just after Koko got up from the three count, Spot got up like nothing. I think Koko had hit the brain buster on Spot.
A few years later, in early 1992, Hercules did similarly when Sid had power bombed him for the pin.

Yeah, in Old-school British rules there were limits to what you could do to grounded opponents. You could only strike them if it was part of the same movement that grounded them.

That is one of the funniest wrestling GIFs I have ever seen. Ultimate Steen pulls a Samoa Joe walkway on ACH while ACH bellyflops the floor. Awesome.
