Kofi's SOS I still am baffled at how that works It's an impact version of a roll up. |

The Canadian Destroyer is no more ridiculous than most wrestling finishers.

You're just slapping someone in the chest. It stings like hell. Khali's brain chop would probably break your hand though. |

YES! I came in here to post this. The most iconic and popular of these moves, and it doesn't make the faintest bit of sense at all. |

That stupid move where it looks like you're setting up for the Rocker Dropper, but instead of dropping straight down, you grab their arm and twist them onto their back.
I mean, what the Hell even is that? And how is it supposed to hurt?

Splashes in general, they've got to hurt the splasher almost as much as the splashee.But I really don't get how the Shooting Star Press would work better than a normal splash.
That thing where one wrestler has the other in a wristlock, the other guy rolls/somersaults/half-rolls then kips up out of it,grabs the other guys wrist to reverse it. That makes no sense. For a start, after he's done whatever to get out of it, the other guy still has both hands clamped on his wrist. he'd have to force his wrist free... but it just happens by magic, and thats assuming that the other guy doesn't kick his head off his shoulders when he opens his head up for attack by rolling.

The headscissor variant where the person spins in a circle like 4 times before being tossed.
The hammerlock reversal. Apparently the hammerlock is the most useless move ever since you can just twist behind someone and then they're in a hammerlock instead. Sometimes the person just completely gets go of them and waits to be given the hammerlock back.
The entire idea of working someone's legs over to set up the sharpshooter, which targets the back.

Yeah, I was thinking about moves where if you hit the opponent, you're okay, but if they get away and you only hit the mat, you get hurt. |

Going to dropkick someone who avoids it, then landing on your back. Hurts a lot. |

I have been able to Rock Bottom people unsuspectingly at drunken parties. The key is to get a handful of tights with the left hand.
What I always do as well is pretend I'm going for a Knife Edge Chop and turn my hand at the last second and give them a slap with the palm... Quite effective.
It is almost impossible to put someone (who knows what you are going for) in the Walls of Jericho. However if they try and block it you can kind of pick them up and slam them on their back.
My justification for impossible looking moves is that if the wrestler who is taking the move doesn't go along with it slightly, then they are going to get way more hurt.
For example The Pepsi Plunge. You might ask why the person taking it kicks their legs out so they land flat. Well if they didn't and tried to land on their feet, the weight of the guy on top would come down and break them in half.
Same kind of thing for a Superplex. Why would the person taking it help them moving their feet up to the top rope. I justify it by saying that if they didn't, and the instigator tried it anyway and fell back whilst holding on to the other persons neck, there would be serious potential to get a hurt neck.

The Bubba Bomb always looked to me as if it should hurt the person executing the move just as much and in the same way as the person receiving it.
I also never understood why someone in the Anaconda Vice doesn't just use his free hand to punch the other guy in the head until he lets go of the hold.

The Rock Bottom makes sense. He lifted them with his left hand on the small of their back.

So I work on your legs until they're too weak to stop me. Yeah that's what they're going for, but in practice the person often just lays there when its time to take the move successfully. At least in Bret Hart's time. Kinda like when people get picked up for finishers and just make a decision on whether they're going to bother trying to fight out of a GTS or AA or something. |

The guy who splashes does get hurt some, but he bounces up to open air. THe victim is crushed between the attacker and the mat. any move with rotation uses centrifugal force |

First, I wish I knew a girl like Kneelift in real life. Second, my physics defying movie is the RKO, not so much the execution but the aftermath. You're driving a guy down face first in the mat, essentially KO'ing them, so why do they immediately flip to their backs every single time?! I never understood why Orton doesn't just roll them over onto their backs for the pin. On a similar note, whenever Stone Cold hit the Stunner in a regular match the opponent was knocked out on his back, but if he used it in a battle royal the opponent would immediately pop up and stagger around until Austin threw them over the ropes. I've never understood that. |

The People's Elbow. The Five Knuckle Shuffle. The Boom Drop.
So I'm going to run the ropes, presumably for more momentum, so that my move maximizes impact.
BUT THEN, I'll stop. Dead in my tracks.
I'll do a silly taunt that leaves my opponent enough time to stand up, roll away, or counter.
I then elbow/punch/legdrop my prone opponent's body.
EDIT: Running the ropes does NOTHING whatsoever to make these moves more painful or impactful so that I might secure a three-count over my opponent.
