Ok, I know I am way behind on the times, but I finally watched Rock v Cena. I had to comment about the spot they did at the end where Rock does the last ditch cross body. Cena catches it full on. They roll thru. Cena somehow, in an almost super human effort, holds the rock for a slam all the way from the ground to standing. Then one ups superman by taking the rock's 265lbs frame and lifting him above cena's head for an AA.
That match had already gone a half hour. It was 85degrees with humidity only south Florida can produce. I do not know how Cena did that, but damn man, that had me amazed. Greatest spot I have ever seen. I have watched wrestling since 1982 and I swear that is the best spot my eyes ever took in.

I marked hard when mark henry did that. I forget who it was to, but it was impressive as hell. there's a hell of a lot of old tricks and little subtle things like that in wrestling from decades ago that still work just as well today.

Any expert can tell you Cena only has five moves and that isn't one of them. Obviously a hoax.

This>Mankind thrown of the cell? come on man.. He's saying the spot was impressive because of the situation and the kind if strength and conditioning it required. As insane as the HIAC spot(s) are. It's really just a dude falling. A crazy braze dude but still. |

Shane jumping off the Backlash stage does it for me. Anything Shane really.

He didn't do it for free. Also it has nothing to do with anything that was said. |

While that might be impressive due to reasons Op explained, I feel this is more impressive considering... www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_DnRxJmhikIt's that spot with Shawn and Shelton.  |

Isn't every wrestling match ever to "cash a check" and make money? What's the difference here between Cena vs. Rock and Foley vs. Undertaker? |

Seriously, The Rock can cash plenty of checks without needing to step foot in a ring. What a dumb comment that was. |

Cena and Rock was just to cash a check. okay so maybe the spot wasn't the greatest one YOU'VE seen then dude. there are tons of crafty spots and things like that in wrestling that I can see coming across cooler or more creative than the Foley off the cell bump. not saying I don't respect or don't like Foley, but to say Cena/Rock was just to cash a check isn't fair either. |

Sorry, but as awesome as that move was the next time they faced Shelton caught the foot and landed on his feet, which tops it for timing |

Some spot where some guy picks up another dude is overshadowing a spot where someone could of died or been seriously injured? The latter was way more shocking to me. I'm just kidding though. It was a good spot with Cena. Ppl think I'm serious? Mankind is my favorite though. |

A particularly good spot was the Whisper in the Wind that Jeff did to Umaga off a cell.

An exhausted Warrior pressing a rather unwilling/unhelpful Hogan overhead at their WM match was more impressive to me.
And the most impressive strength spot I've ever seen was Johnny the Bull pressing Rikishi's fat ass overhead.

No one has mentioned when Hulk Hogan picked up the 5000lbs Andre the Giant in front of 30 billion people brother!
