[@goochI034]

That beer was lobbed at best

[@columbiakidd1624]

It’s the undertaker, what else did you expect

[@AsiaDanceScene]

The amazing thing is how quick they improvise as well. Saving a guy from injury and then pretending you did it so that you can punch or slam them shows amazing presence of mind. Definitely an underappreciated part of wrestling

[@moo-snuckle]

and their blows still seem to land heavy , and they still gotta sell it, and somehow still, in the moment, these split seconds, thats drops, and safety is first. unfortunately not everytime, but if you understand wrestling well enough to recognize something is off script, or spot one of these pro moves in this vid real time, then you can see these guys are lucky these pros were their opponents. and yeah, this aspect of wrestling rarely is appreciated.

[@chrishubbard64]

Yeah ive seen a few random matches over the year where an opponent will "reverse" some big move to land his own and its fairly clear they saved their opponent from hurting themself. Sometimes you cant really hide the botch, just kind of keep going and hope nobody calls it out, other times an experienced wrestler can make it all flow together so the average viewer never would have guessed they just saved their opponents career.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Half of these are straight speculation and mind reading inserted context. Like the dude in the air..."saw he was going to fall on his head and decided to turn! Saving the guys broken neck!" That's not how gravity works. It's more accidental than intentional.

[@plant.1374]

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour wdym its not how gravity works? you just saw it with your own eyes and those guys ended up not being injured. its funny because the same exact people who alter the body of the person performing the move are recognizable names, those who have worked with wwe for years, so clearly its intentional because of their experience.

[@kurtdezutter8047]

Some luck involved but ... they're still incredible athletes !

[@BesttBi]

One of my ABSOLUTE favorite parts of Professional Wrestling... is this! The way they protect one another. The thought, and the love they put into the job for their opponents. I smile every time I noticed a protection during a spot.

[@vismattress5760]

[@Matrim42]

I’m surprised he didn’t RKO the table out of spite.

Randy thew the table away and rko'd it later

[@AngelOfDC]

[@kendavies3312]

He thinking "Outta nowhere!!"

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

The look on Randy's face when he realized the fate he'd just saved himself from is one I know all too well. Been more than one time where I've come far too close to an unhappy ending. My favorite instance of wrestlers protecting each other is one time when the Undertaker was in some match (can't remember what or with who), he realized that there was chair laying right where someone was about to land. He was on the floor and all he did was flop his foot onto the chair and slide it out of the way. Its my favorite because it's such a tiny thing and Taker made it perfectly look like he was just selling.

[@jasonx1174]

It was during a 6 man tag match on Smackdown. 2 of the men in the match with Undertaker was Big Show and Kurt Angle. At one point Angle went for the Angle Slam on Big Show and it's at that moment that Taker moved the chair with his leg so Big Show wouldn't land on it.

[@jordy619hi]

Cesaro was not only a fantastic performer but a safe one. He should have been a full time main eventer

[@robloxwithacetheavenger4908]

But why did he leave WWE

[@Harry_Bahlzanya]

Cesaro is a wrestler who could use a year off and take some acting classes for line work he was incredibly flat on the mic and often flubbed lines idk why wwe doesn't have acting coaches lol

[@sicKlown86]

I don't know if it's an age thing, but I find safe and protective workers so much more awe inspiring than pure over the top spots these days. I guess seeing so many wrestlers from my youth suffering as time goes on that I really want the next generation to have better post-ring lives.

[@NealCamerlengo]

Same! Especially if they end up with severe mental issues and does the unthinkable as in the case of Chris Benoit.

[@MagiaBased]

That is exactly the reason why I love Gunthers style, his matches look like they hurt but there aren't that many high risk moves that could seriously hurt someone.

[@moo-snuckle]

@@NealCamerlengo i was gonna make a joke, but yeah. he was my favorite, and it was a very sad day that i heard a guy i always respected just turn into a monster, but even with the mental, i cant give him any credit on that cause if mick foley is still as sharp,charming and well...

[@welcelebrateourredemption]

​@@moo-snuckleMick Foley didn't deliver diving headbutts from the top rope every single time he had to hit a finisher. I guarantee Mick wasn't a steroid user either. You don't and I don't know what that dudes head was like. With that being said what he did was absolutely heinous.

[@One.Zero.One101]

Being safe with your opponent was an important part of your wrestling skills back then. Guys like Bret Hart and The Undertaker took great pride in being safe workers. I don't think this lesson is being drilled in some wrestlers today.

[@ThunderFist1978]

One of the first moments that came to my mind was when A.J. Styles saved James Ellsworth from breaking his neck. A.J. went for the Styles Clash, but he noticed Ellsworth tucking his head just in time and straddled his limbs, and in so doing prevented Ellsworth’s head from crashing into the mat.

[@jimbo_1312]

I think the incident where that English wrestler broke his neck in 2 places from taking the styles clash probably made AJ a lot more aware of whether his opponents were tucking their chin. Obviously, it wasn't AJ's fault, but I imagine that would shake you up somewhat.

WhT makes the Brett Heart saving HBK even more amazing is that Brett absolutely hated HBK at that point. He was such an old school pro that he did his job and protected his opponent. Some specially back in those days would of let a guy hurt themselves when they had major back stage heat with them.

Wrestling is an amazing industry. They have some of the best entertainers and athletes on the planet and I'm constantly floored by how far they're willing to go to do what they do. I have noticed something though. While the stunts are getting higher, harder, and faster, it seems as if it's kind of lost something over the last 10 years or so. Of course, with us finding out more and more about the long term effects of that level of abuse to the body, I wonder how long it will be before that industry dies? I'll be sad to see it go, but I think it's inevitable unless something major changes.
