Y'know, a while back a question about a mistake that I seem to see in recent matches popped into my head and I meant to ask it a long time ago--eventually however I forgot about it----until recently when I happened to watch the TROOPS volume 1--the first year the WWF stars went over to Iraq---I ended up seeing something in a match on the program that I got confused over--not only that but it reminded me of the question I had meant to ask ages ago. And so here they are......
I'll start off with the original question.....
1.
Recently I've been seeing guys "win" matches and become the new champs or such in many matches done nowadays---when the guy they beat has his feet/hands etc. under the bottom rope.
Now have I missed something or am I wrong because I thought that as long as any bodypart of the opponent's was under the bottom rope or on the bottom rope as well--that the pin attempt was more or less no good.
am I wrong here?
And my other question.....
2. In a match between Heidenriech and The Undertaker, there is a moment in the match where "Heidi"(as I call him) knocks the Taker on his back and then climbs to the top turnbuckle and looks like he's about to give him a sit-down splash. "Heidi" then comes down and Taker counters by lifting up his knees and Hiedi gets his family jewels destroyed.
All fair and well right?
That's what I thought too, but then Micheal Cole repeatedly says that Taker lifting his knees was a "low-blow"
Huh?
I must have missed something or am I wrong, because I thought that a low blow in wrestling was when you kicked or hit someone in the nads--not lifting your knees to stop a sit-down splash.
Can someone help me here?
