Yeah, and he did it from the left side this week and I thought "well at least his right side looks way better now"

I've noticed that sometimes it looks really sloppy and shitty.
Other times it looks great. Is this move much more complex to pull off than we all think?

It started off bad, and it's somehow getting worse. He seems to just jump off the top rope and flail his arms around in the air with no coherence or pre-planning.

Punk is definitely not the Best in the World when it comes to moves off the top rope.

I'm sad that very few audiences/cities actually chant Randy Savage afterwards. That bugs me every time Punk does the Elbow Drop.

Didn't Savage develop hip problems because of doing the elbow splash the way he did?

Maybe instead of copying Randy Savage off the top rope he should have copied Ric Flair and just get tossed off every time he went to the top.

To be fair to Punk, he's stated on the Art of Wrestling about his shitty elbow drop.

Punk is definitely not the Best in the World when it comes to moves off the top rope. He isn't bad at all highflying moves though, keep in mind his springboard clotheslines and suicide dives have always been badass and smooth   And I think Punks elbow can look good when he wants it to be, it is very unique for better or worse. |

I'm not saying he sucks at doing those moves. Just pointing out that everyone has something they are weak at. |

It's funny how so many wrestlers can do such complicated moves, yet they can't quite pull off simple ones. Jericho can't do a leg drop, The Rock does a terrible Sharpshooter, Cena's STF usually looks bad, and we found out last week that Daniel Bryan can't do a Spinaroonie.

Bryan also does a pretty terrible RKO. |
