I'd like to hear more examples of wrestlers noticing someone's injured and springing into action. Last month, there was an uproar about Charlotte Flair not noticing Kairi Sane was injured. But now you guys are mentioning Bianca Belair protecting Beth Phoenix after she busted open her head, and Baron Corbin and Edge helping AJ Styles get eliminated after his shoulder injury. Both from just last night.
Are there more examples of the latter?

A bad example of it is Brie and Liv Morgan on Raw if you wanna see how not to do it. Liv was outta it.

I'd rather stay positive and hear good examples.

I want good examples, but I can only think of times people got it wrong - like when Candice Michelle got confused and broke her collar bone, and her opponent dragged her by her head across the ring.
ETA: Sorry, I missed your post while I was writing this. I'm trying to think of good examples.
Edit #2: Maybe Foley vs Taker HIAC? I seem to remember reading Taker tried to talk Foley into stopping the match and getting medical attention, so I'm sure Taker would have been doing his level best to make sure Mick didn't take much more damage.

The one example I love going to is Mr. Perfect saving Jericho from a career ending lionsault botch.

Well, last week on Backstage Paige told the story of her match against AJ Lee at Summerslam 2014 and how f***ed up AJ's neck was going into it and how she did her very best to try to protect AJ throughout the match so as not to make the injury worse.

After Mia Yim got the ladder smashed into her face off of Io's drop kick they continue the match but Io makes a clear effort to never strike Mia in the face ther rest of the way.
She does her double knees in the corner to Mia's chest etc

You could count Fish protecting Wolfe after it was clear that Wolfe was out at Worlds Collide. Drake Younger (the ref) yells out "arm" as Fish is going to cover Wolfe, Fish gets his arm under Wolfe's shoulder so Wolfe doesn't have to attempt to kick out, and Fish tries a couple of times to go after Wolfe (gotta sell that he does want to fight Wolfe) but they're half-assed attempts.
Drake Younger and Fish were on top of everything at Worlds Collide

Not sure if it would count, but Owen stalling for time when Austin got injured, after he had injured Austin🤔

- Ryback protecting Kalisto (I think?) from taking a bad landing after a plancha.
- AJ positioning James Ellsworth’s neck to prevent him from being f***ed up by the Styles Clash.

It sounds twisted because there’s always potential injury involved.... but I absolutely love seeing this. It sums up the art of professional wrestling in a nutshell. This one is my favorite. Also...  Excellent awareness and reflex from AJ in that split second. |

Excellent awareness and reflex from AJ in that split second. Honestly that is one of the reasons I hate the styles clash.AJ basically learne dit ebcause of the others tiems that same scenario happened.I think AJ himself said your first reflex is move your head down. |

One that Jericho caught before Robinson, one that they both got legit pissed at each other over. They discussed it when Charles was on TiJ a few weeks later.

When Raven and Kanyon hurt a Villano....Raven just stopped wrestling and secured his neck. Hell of a guy there

-Henning protection of Jericho's botched lionsault comed to mind.
-Terry Funk taking bumps for Foley during the infamous HiAC.

The only problem I have with this story is Jericho’s estimation of himself staying in character. “Nobody could tell. They just thought it was part of the match and I was being a heel”. No dude, everyone knew Neville was hurt and that you’d lost your mind. |
