 January is upon us, and with that, comes another volume in Rowdy Ringsports' best wrestling moves series. this month, we are discussing a move that is near and dear to my heart, the eye poke. quote:Also called a thumb to the eye. When a wrestler pokes his thumb or finger(s) into an opponent's eye(s). some potential eye poke discussion topics: - who has the best eye poke? - which is the best eye poke of all time? - have you ever poked someone or something in the eye? why? - have you ever been poked in the eye? by who, and why? - if you could poke anyone in the eye, who would it be, and why? how deeply would you poke their eye? - should the eye poke be made legal? - could you kill someone with an eye poke? here are some examples of eye pokes: https://twitter.com/wweuniverse/status/1181004824831123456?lang=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B64vHLuUkio in my opinion, Roddy Piper was the king of the eye poke. nobody could jab their dirty fingers into someone's eyes like Roddy Piper could. it would always make me laugh when he would do it. nothing puts a smile on my face like seeing someone get poked in the eyes in a fight. links to previous threads: The Best Vol. 4: German Suplex The Best Vol. 3: Lariat The Best Vol. 2: Powerbomb The Best Vol. 1: Dropkick

As the original eye poke enthusiast the God King Of Poking Eyes was for sure Rowdy Roddy Piper Everything about his execution is absolutely brilliant. Lackadaisical, matter-of-fact old school heeling. Watch the crowds in these clips lose their loving minds over it.

I always love TAKA posing for photos with his index and middle fingers in position, ready to strike at moment's notice.
