The case of Sin Cara is more painful when you are Mexican. Mistico is a legend here in Mexico (he debuted in 2004 and in 2006 he was considered wrestler of the year by the Wrestling Observer, in 2007 he was third only behind Cena and Edge) and one of the most beloved wrestlers in my country. Years before his debut in WWE, fans knew that it was only a matter of time before he went to WWE and the news of his entry to the main roster was one of the most talked about in the country in those years. You have no idea how huge a disappointment it was for us to see his time in WWE (something that today makes me wonder how that happened, you only have to see his matches in CMLL and especially in NJPW to realize that he has impeccable talent in the ring). Currently he returned to the role of Mistico and is one of the most respected wrestlers in the country, but the stain that his career in WWE left will never be erased.

Nia Jax is a wobbling Botch factory. She makes Vince mcmahons wrestling ability look like he’s Kurt angle. She’s so terrible that David Flair looks like signing Stone Cold Steve Austin. She screws up so much that even Eva Marie looks like a champion. Nia Botch IS SO BAD, that she will likely end up in AEW. Lol

[@VicelikeGold79]

Ha! Got 'er!

[@DamianHowardTV]

Nia “Dangerous” Jax, more like. She was so damn dangerous in the ring, it’s a wonder all her opponents didn’t get seriously injured. Even some of the superstars and divas have stated this. It’s easy to see why she was let go.. She was a danger to herself and to others and not safe. Could you acclaim that to her weight? Possibly.

[@stevenwilliams6602]

After watching this, I'm definitely confident that I don't have any business being in a wrestling ring.

[@zaynes5094]

@stevenwilliams6602 First thing you get taught, like in any actual martial art, is to learn how to fall correctly. Once that's done, then you move on to basic locks and holds. Then once you have different locks and holds, you move into the actual moves and learning the different moves. Dropkicks, arm drags, German suplex and vertical suplex, DDTs, Spinebusters, and power bombs. You learn what your finishing move can be (there's a lot to pick from but it has to fit the "Character" you play) and you practice it to find what one fits the character best. You also have to know how to be on the mics and learn how to follow a script and also follow a storyline with dialogue.

[@stevenwilliams6602]

My problem is that my knees are in bad shape plus I'm waaaay out of shape.

[@zanethind]

Divas era was bad but it had some good wrestling and it actually had credible talent like AJ Lee, Michelle McCool, etc. It's just that Vince didn't care for women to wrestle and didn't want to train them more. You can notice that Nikki Bella, and Naomi actually did better during the Women's revolution because then they could get longer matches and better training. So weird though how NXT was allowed proper women wrestling but main roster couldn't during the Divas era. Sure Trips ran NXT but Vince owned the company. One best example is when Michelle said that she got in trouble for wrestling for more than 10 minutes and wrestling like the me.

[@Leanzazzy]

Vince McMahon should be named the Finisher Destroyer because he literally ruins everyone else's finishers. But seriously, this video made me understand just how difficult it is even just selling and co-ordinating with your opponents to make the moves go smoothly and look convincing, and how it is even harder to perform aerial manoeuvres successfully without injury. Makes me appreciate legends like HBK and Rey Mysterio even more.

Those incidents where Nia legit injured her opponents were not accidental. At least not with Kairi Sane. She wanted to injure Kairi as badly as possible, without killing her. And she did a decent job doing that. And not once did she even feel bad about it. That's just careless. If it wasn't for her family, she would have been fired instantly and blacklisted from every single professional wrestling company. And I hate that WWE brought her back. And I know so many women fear for their careers every time they are in the ring with her. She is the worst.

The Sin Cara finger thing is worse - his finger was only Dislocated, not Broken, which is at least partially why Del Rio was so pissed off, out of kayfabe. Also, for what it's worth, Vince wasn't the most *athletic*, but damn he knew how to have a wild brawl. And I can't say the guy was completely uncoordinated when he was busting out diving leg drops off a ladder. As for the rest of the list: A lot of the Diva-Era women (Cameron, Rosa, Eva Marie, etc.) were not given nearly enough time in developmental relative to their backgrounds. Cameron, for example, had less than a year full-time in FCW when she was moved to Raw as a valet for Brodus, and less than two years of experience when the Funkadactyls began working as a team full-time.

[@EiferBrennan]

Vince McMahon taking a stunner may not be impressive, but it is realistic. He looks like Stone Cold just snapped his neck causing him to essentially "ragdoll". It's not flashy by any means, not even a little bit, but it's overdramatic and very in-line with the Mr. McMahon character. His facial expression is perfect, he looks like somebody who was surprised before being assassinated by Agent 47.
