Current Events > Anyone else dislike the Spanish Fly (wrestling move)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know all moves the other person helps with. But this one is just too clear that both people are working to do this one. And some variations of it. I don't even know who is the one that should be hurt. For example when that jd mcdonagh from the Judgment Day does his version . It looks like he is being hurt. Oddly the only one I could find online of his, he fell on the Tazawa and for the first time that move looked like it hurt LOL. But for those who don't know what it is you can see it below. Also the Canadian Destroyer, very few people do it where it looks like natural move and not people doing something together. When it works it works, and it doesn't it just looks so bad to me.

A bit, but its honestly not that frequently used to bother me that much. Any contrived turnbuckle spot is lame imo. Hell, I'm sick of someone jumping into a crowd of guys outside the ring.

Yeah its not one of my favorites. Anything that takes me out of being able to suspend my disbelief sucks lol. Like when someone scoots sideways a little while on their back to set up a top rope spot. Lame. Id rather the attacker just drag them into position before they hop up on the turnbuckle.

Yeah, it's a bit too obvious. Wrestling requires suspension of disbelief, but sometimes it can be hard to do. Looks neat though. There probably is a way to do it without looking so phoney

Regarding Canadian Destroyers, I would at least give that one some slack if it wasn't so overdone and is basically a transitional move now. That should have been like Kenta Kobashi's Burning Hammer where it's rarely done and is a match ender. When it's done right, it can look sick.

Finishers in general have been mostly ruined anyway. Everyone kicks out all the time.

This too. Even basic superplexes look so obvious now. Guys doing the suplexing should go back to using the second rope to stand on instead of the top. It doesn't look so bad. And dives are so overdone and obviously fake looking because the guys just stand there waiting to catch the diver

I am with you guys on the dives too. Like for me the middle robe Suicide dive is the only that looks like it could do something since normally it comes fast and (hate to say it, out of no where). But most other dives you can see it coming from a mile away. And then to stop it off, sometimes you will see guys do it, with their partner as one of the guys standing their. What the hell.

Joe is the only person who knows how to handle a diver .

Yeah, its a shitty move. Unfortunately stuff like this is becoming more common in the industry making the Spanish Fly look like a masterpiece by comparison:
