Both wore head stuff, both had red as a signature color. Total ripoff.

I watched the All In Battle Royale on YouTube and had a few questions: 1) is Punishment Martinez on the WWE’s radar? He seems to be the type they go for 2) does Jimmy Jacobs wear a dress a lot? When did this start? 3) what’s the deal with The Best friends hugging? 4) how tall is Marko Stunt?

I've seen him described as "just Baron Corbin but better" and it's basically correct. 2) yeah, his gimmick is Zombie Princess and it's just because he thinks it's funny 3) they're best friends, so they hug each other. At some point in the last year or two a camera guy thought it'd be funny to give them the same wide shot that Okada gets when he does his pose after a Rainmaker, and everyone does it now. 4) he's very very small

How come Center Stage looked like a big arena when WCW ran it and looks like a high school gym when ROH runs it now? 18 years in production and exhibition and this still baffles me.

I don't remember the Hardcore title revolving around much focused conflict as opposed to just telling the story of the person with the belt trying to keep it from a wild mob so I'm guessing he just earned the shot somehow

I remember the Blackman thing was actually pretty neat. It was when the Hardcore title had the 24/7 stuff going where it changed hands every few minutes...until Blackman got it, then he just beat the poo poo out of anyone who tried. Shane finally took it from him via an assload of run-ins, that led to the match where Shane ate death by Titantron

Does anyone currently wrestling do a really good traditional top rope dropkick? I mean the sideways version not like a Daniel Bryan front one. I’m sure there is I’m just blanking on it

what's the most nationalities of wrestlers in a single match that you can think of? non-rumble wise of course. im wondering because at destruction in kobe, there was a 6-man tag between a japanese man, an irish man, an american, an englishman, and two new zealanders.

It's kind of cheating... but just on my first check: 1987 Survivor Series 10v10 Tag match The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid), The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell), The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau), Strike Force (Rick Martel and Tito Santana), The Young Stallions (Jim Powers and Paul Roma) vs The Bolsheviks (Boris Zhukov and Nikolai Volkoff), Demolition (Ax and Smash), The Dream Team (Dino Bravo and Greg Valentine), The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart) and The Islanders (Haku and Tama) (with Bobby Heenan, Mr. Fuji, Jimmy Hart, Johnny Valiant and Slick) 11 Americans 4 Canadians (3 French Canadians) 2 Englishmen 1 Yugoslav 1 Italian-Canadian 1 Tongan (Also, Mr. Fuji is Japanese, but I assume you just want just in-ring participants)

Are there any moves that are done by only a small number of people due to the difficulty of the move? Ricochets 720 senton or Starship Pain are the only thing that jumps out of my brain but I'm sure there is some forbidden suplex only Master Masons know how to do or something.

Only Scott Steiner does the screwdriver, because nobody else would be willing to do that to another human being.

The Shooting Star Press is notoriously difficult, but not so hard that only a handful of people can do it or anything. There are some suplexes/drivers that aren't done very often because there's not really a safe way to take them. Like, AFAIK, nobody does the Kawada Driver because it was a nasty botch that became a big match move. Nobody wants to take Misawa's Tiger Driver every week in the WWE either.

I almost threw up the first time I saw that. God drat. e: I don't think too many people would attempt that move Dragon Lee did when he broke Hiromu's neck. And even then, well...

I have no real insight on Kalisto to be honest. Not saying we're even in disagreement here, but you still don't see it very often.

unless I've grossly misread how those moves are performed, I think the jackhammer and F5 both require some pretty ridiculous upper body strength to pull off or maybe people just don't do them because when you do them the crowd goes "ohhh it's just like Goldberg" I dunno

Fireman’s carries are a really easy way to lift people heavier than you Now for ridiculous upper body strength there’s always Kenny omegas electric chair drop into catch German suplex.
