Not sure if I should be impressed or scared. As the announcer said, the guy had more trouble getting on the rope than doing the moonsault.

He did it, but my theory is that if you can barely climb the ropes then you probably shouldn't be doing moonsaults.

f*** naw if I was a wrestler would I take a move like that from someone that size. I'm the size of a mid size Big Zeke and I still say hell to the naw on that.

Lack of tuba music in the background is disappointing.

We never saw The Giant do it, so this is the best we're going to get.

The scariest part is how he's just barely clearing that flip. There is no wiggle room at all for him to be off on it. If he comes up short even a little then all that weight comes down on his neck and he's either dead or paralyzed for life.

'ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!'
I can imagine the guy on the mat thinking 'Stop ****ing saying that!'

It reminds me of Big Show saying early in his training he could do a moonsault but couldn't find anyone willing to take it... I can't say I blame them.

Dear lord, no.
Impressive Tiger Bomb at the beginning, though.

Lots of flab for cushioning, I suppose, not that that makes it especially safer.

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should
There is no margin of error for that so yea I wouldn't take that

He can barely get any rotation on the backflip. That's an accident waiting to happen.

I don't care how much I'd be getting paid for it, there's no way in hell that I'd be taking that move

On the bright side he hasn't wrestled since 2013 so looks like the 489 moonsault botched landing to the head has been avoided

The physics of that is simply that gravity gives up once he gets so far

This is one of those "indy-isms" that I can't stand. Okay, you're a big dude and you can do a moonsault. That's impressive. But where does that fit into the story you're trying to tell? The guy just keeps doing the f***ing thing over and over and over again with no rhyme or reason outside of the smarky crowd screaming "ONE MORE TIME!" I wish more of these guys understood that wrestling is less about cool looking moves and more about telling a coherent and engaging story.

This is as dumb as the indy guy diving into the back of a pickup truck, you probably shouldn't be doing a move if botching means there's a chance you could kill both your opponent and yourself.

We never saw The Giant do it, so this is the best we're going to get. I think the Samoan Swat Team were both bigger than this guy and did much better moonsaults on a regular basis. They also actually looked slightly imposing, unlike this dude. Honestly, people criticise people like Owens and Joe for their physiques (not me) but I have no idea who bought a ticket to see this motherf***er.
