That's probably the most logical explanation of an Irish whip that they've ever heard. To amplify on your criticism of the Irish whip used stupidly, it's also really silly looking when they whip the guy toward the ring steps, but instead of leaping over them to avoid the collision, they get down really low and tackle the steps with their shoulder. Even that I can sort of accept but I admittedly have to bend my suspension of disbelief for it. If it's done at a point in the match where a guy is broken down enough he might not have the stamina, or just not enough footing (considering the irish whip will carry some force] to successfully leap over it. If you fail to jump it and trip all over yourself it could be arguably more disastrous than if you just hunker down and take it. Yeah, that would take some suspension of disbelief. I can almost accept it if they're standing right next to the steps, but I'm talking about where the guy is whipped almost the entire length of the ring, staring right at the steps the whole time, then at the last second crouches down and tackles them like a football player. I don't care how tired I am... if I can run the whole length of the ring, I think I might try to jump over the pointy metal steps... or maybe just throw my weight in the other direction and roll into the ring rather than slowing down before I get there and tackling them.

Yeah that I can agree with. I wonder what goes through a wrestler's head during a spot like that, the guy running has to feel really ridiculous halfway down that trip.

When there's a cage match, and the opponent is knocked out, why do you bother climbing when the door is right there?
