Al Snow on "The Wrestling Punch"

[@matthewbond375]

I really appreciate Al's take on the "no-sell" cancer that has killed Pro Wrestling. I think of Jackie Chan movies when Al talks about in-ring work. Jackie gets over in every movie he's in because he sells the shit out of everything. He also never dominates fights, he gets beat up terribly by the merciless "bad guys", but eventually makes the improbable comeback that we root for. It's incredible that the new gen only sees the big spots, and fails to make the big spots matter.

[@jlnxn5374]

I blame video games

[@musc1esman]

Hell yeah and dude, im so sick of kicking out of finishers multiple times every match. Theyre all signitures now, not finishers.

[@vleaky3430]

No sell is just horrible and wrestlers don't seem to mind for some reason 🤦‍♂️

[@coolioso808]

Really good comment! Yes, I love Jackie Chan movies and that's a big part. He gets hurt and we want to see him succeed and he does it in innovative ways, but he isn't doing it by no-selling what's happening to him. I don't know if Pro Wrestling can do a 'reset' and got back to selling those 8 things so that when the amazing athletes do MORE then it is far more impressive and unique. Maybe not. But ya never know.

[@planetschlock]

It wasn't until I started seeing shoot interviews with the really old school territory guys (who Al Snow probably learned from) that I realized what a lost art "working" really is. By the time I started watching in the Attitude Era, wrestling was pretty much a live action video game.

[@ladistar]

@@RobwLPOC so basically working as we know it is really just acting and selling in the ring, putting your opponent over, etc. more so than technical ability. Is that right?

[@TheNemisisx]

The punch part is dead on like it only works as a dirty finish if you use it like how William regal used to use it. While the ref was distracted he'd pull the old brass knuckles out from his tights, punch the opponent with it then hide the brass and pin him and it'll be all over.

One that drives me up the wall is guys not selling headbutts. Hitting someone with your own head is going to ring you bell almost as much too. Only Samoan's get to no-sell headbutts.

[@24magiccarrot]

and Mick Foley, he's been hit by so many crazy things that a head butt is probably like a tickle to him these days.

[@Z3r0h3x]

Actually if you do a headbutt right you don't ring your own bell. You don't want to swing your forehead forward like you usually see, that's how you hit hard bone on hard bone. What you want to do is get your head low (bend knees/waist) and then thrust forward and upward so you hit the guy's face with the top of your head, you hit soft parts with the hardest part. Lethwei (bareknuckle muay thai with headbutts) uses this to great effect and some boxers illegally sneak these in when opponents get too aggressive.

[@trevorphilips9484]

You nut somebody in the nose if you do it for real. You dont go forehead to forehead. Thats silly.

[@KhoroShogun]

Case in point. Was watching the 2001 Rumble and Austin tried to headbutt Rikishi...TWICE. Both times he staggered backwards for about 5 seconds before attempting the next one. Rikishi then headbutts Austin and Austin drops.

In Japan they use forearm and open palm strikes, and oftentimes they go as stiff as they can to each other as sort of a real contest of wills between the wrestlers amidst an otherwise fake fight.

Yes the punch was always illegal until a couple years ago. Wrestlers were required to use a forearm or an open hand strike. Look at videos of wrestlers in the 70s. Now you have Roman Reigns and others closed fist punching at will. No, it's not believable, it's not even wrestling.

Most people haven't had a direct intended hit to the nuts, so no his nuts aren't made of glass. The unintended glancing blows that you've probably had in your life are not going to disable you for more than a few minutes, but if someone was to intentionally hit you as hard as they could right in the gonads you would be paralyzed for a very significant length of time, and still feeling the pain for hours afterward.

I was once punched full force by my cousin when I was 13 years old while we were fight and I had to stay in the fetal position for at least 2hrs cause in so much pain could not stand on my feet, and after I was able to walk was still in extreme pain and couldn't stand up straight ,pain lasted 10hrs before it went away

No, his nuts are probably made of testicles and whatever tissue/blood/muscles that comes with them. Legitimate nut shots hurt, feel free to try one.
