It’s funny how a lot of things wrestlers made part of their gimmick were discovered by accident lol

[@squiddwizzard8850]

Allegedly Jake the Snake accidentally invented the DDT -- going for a vertical suplex and tripped.

[@GreenGuy-gv8di]

​@@squiddwizzard8850 allegedly drew McIntyre invented the claymore kick when he tried to do the big boot and slipped

[@omartistry]

@@GreenGuy-gv8di Mark Henry created the “Mark Henry spot” by catching Rey mysterio and accidentally rolling backwards and getting up while still holding on to Rey to slam him. Eventually every big guy in wrestling started doing it till this day.

[@sleeperholdASMR]

This is where the fun is at!!

[@jvstice56]

@@GreenGuy-gv8di Wasn't that he slipped, but the leather pants he was wearing were too tight and if he didn't lift his other leg, they were going to rip. Worked out for the best.

Undertaker was practically perfect. Everyone knew and respected it.

It legit used to scare the shit out of me when I was little and they’d do a close up under his hat, and the camera used to catch him rolling his eyes. That man terrified me when I was a kid.

[@danieldonnelly3589]

I really appreciate how Chris asks about some of the more obscure things that us wrestling nerds really dig. I don't think I've ever seen Taker be asked about the eye rolling before. Typically it's interview after interview with him being asked about throwing Mick Foley off the cell or changing into the American Bad Ass, etc, so I really appreciate how CVV digs deep and gets so much interesting content from his guests.

[@antoniodearry7114]

Everyone does something on accident then it becomes iconic 😂

[@tubbymontana7090]

Some of the best things happen by accident that eye roll thing is iconic scared the shit out of me as a kid and when I grew up I thought it was metal af I’m glad he stuck with it that entrance when he takes off the hat chefs kiss 👌

[@kratosgow342]

Yes and he did talked about it but doesn't want to talk bad on the said person who passed away

[@zenith8417]

Old School guys were pretty gatekeepy cuz thats what they grew up with. It was intensely competitive and nobody wanted to side with a sinking ship Marks character was a bit goofy, but his investment and dedication made it arguably the most popular gimmick in wrestling entertainment, period, with the only one close being Sting

[@Alisuleivani94]

I can listen to undertaker stories so much. It’s so awesome when he tells you about it.

[@MT-tu8dt]

There will never be another Undertaker.

[@TopMysteriousBytes]

The Undertaker is the Muhammad Ali, LeBron James, & Sachin Tendulkar of WWE & Professional Wrestling. That's a living legend right there.

[@IHateYouTube-sr1wj]

Don't you EVER fucking compare LeBum Lames to Taker again.

The Undertaker character is a work of art. I genuinely believe it elevates pro wrestling to fine art when it's this good.

[@anthonycomeaux3996]

[@JeremiahEcks777]

Which is why finishers should be FINISHERS and if someone kicks out of one, it should be a rare occurrence. I.e. once only every couple years, max. The struggle should be for a wrestler to hit a finisher or not. That's the storytelling tension of a finisher.

I actually know him, I used to deliver pizza on the weekends... he is a super cool, nice guy, killer family, just a peach, seriously. Spoke to him once for about 10 minutes, just a regular conversation, never mentioned his job once. He has a reputation around Lakeway and Austin restuarants for being a good table.

Bro really got the Taker interview. Congrats. Still waiting for the Phenomenal One tho

[@ykoba4054]

Yuji Nagata also rolls his eyes when he tries an armbar. But Nagata's is not as intimidating as the Dead Man's. It's rather funny and goofy. Nagata also did it by accident while he struggled to climb back to stardom after the unsuccessful MMA stint. When the crowd looked at Nagata rolling eyes and busted into laughter, the poor guy believed the breakthrough moment for him came again. Well, it has been a routine that nobody taps out to his armbar or another opponent slaps his goofy face. He is still active and keeps doing it. Whenever Nagata goes for an armbar, the crowd chants "shirome! (roll your eyes!)"

[@gamebrainjagras4193]

Finishers need to be protected like Undertaker’s tombstone. That’s probably one of the biggest problems in wrestling nowadays. Only matches like HHH vs Undertaker, stakes high, tension even higher. However countering finishers or getting out of them, or with a submission having it not locked in yet. Once it goes through, rarely should anyone kick out of or get out of a finisher.

[@jcch1090]

[@UtoobSuxDix]

It's actually a good thing to stretch your eye muscles once in a while. With your eyes closed, start in one direction then the opposite such as Up, Down, Left, Right. Hold each position for about ten seconds. Then do rotations either clockwise or counter-clockwise. After a few reps go the opposite direction.

[@danjonmills]

How would it do that? You think it he accidentally rolled his eyes all the way back into his head and couldn't spin them back round again? Lol

Tombstone should have been protected to the very end. Let Shawn Michaels weakly kick out of one in the rematch with his career on the line. His last gasp before his career was over. Otherwise, the Tombstone should have been unblemished. Finishers are a joke today.
