Holding himself up is one issue, but being outside the ring at a turnbuckle and groggily rolling yourself into the middle of the ropes to hang yourself on them is too much.

Up there in the worst finishers of all time.
Everyone knows the 619 is the worst finisher.

At least you could believably fall into that position. Alberto's opponents literally had to lay down and then grab a rope and somehow, with all them WWE abs, not do a damned situp or get up fully and hold themselves for however long it took that goober to finish getting into a standing position without falling off the top rope to stomp them because as we all know Alberto has shit balance and ups.
Its the top rope equivalent of Bubba Ray's table laydown believability.
^Alberto literally looks as believable as this bullshit right here.
Alberto in a nutshell
The bulk of their income is their TV deal. This guy needs better reading comprehension.
For the record, from their annual report:
TV Deal: Television net revenues were $241.7 million, $231.1 million and $176.7 million, representing 33%, 35% and 33% of total net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively
WWE Network: Network subscription net revenues were $168.3 million, $138.8 million and $69.5 million, representing 23%, 21%
and 13% of total net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
PPV: Pay-per-view net revenues were $12.6 million, $20.6 million and $45.2 million, representing 2%, 3% and 8% of
total net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
DVD/Blu-ray: Home entertainment net revenues were $13.1 million, $13.4 million and $27.3 million, representing 2%, 2% and 5% of total net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Digital Media: Total Digital Media net revenues were $26.9 million, $21.5 million and $20.9 million, representing 4%, 3% and 4% of total net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively
---
This totals to: represents 63%, 65% and 63% of our net revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively). In other words, half of the bulk of their revenue comes from their TV Deal.
20% of the remaining revenue comes from Merch. 1% from WWE Studios.
Bad ratings will kill their TV deal. Their TV deal is a huge chunk of their revenue. Thus WWE Ratings fucking matter, no matter how much people want to pretend they do not. The effect won't be felt for a while, but it will be felt.
WWE's net income was 33 million USD last year. So they have a bit of a cushion before they have to cut wrestlers and crew or start saving money on developmental or Network productions, but they will have to make cuts when their TV deal gets cut in half along with their ratings.

They're the defacto best in the world outside of AJ Styles and it would be difficult to argue otherwise.
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT
GWF 5: Best of the Super Junior Members
Date: Monday, July 3rd, 2017
Time: 7:00PM Eastern/6:00PM Central/12:00AM London
Where: Live from the Z-Pak Zone on www.twitch.tv/sephzilla - Replay will be available on YouTube
Double Main Event!
GWF introduces a new tournament known as the Best of the Super Junior Members! Talent that is new to GWF or simply not had their moment in the limelight will compete in an 8 man single elimination tournament to crown the inaugural Best of the Super Junior Members [being a Junior Member on NeoGAF is not a requirement]. The final two surviving participants in this tournament will compete in the first half of our main event for a chance to not only become the first ever BotSJM winner, but also to become the number one contender for the GWF World Championship at GWF 6!
In the second half of our double main event, WrassleGAF's Ultraviolence Month caps off with a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match for the GWF Championship. After the referee controversy during Hasney's unexpected cash-in against Beefy at GWF4, the GWF front office has determined that the GWF Championship will be suspended high above the ring and that the true champion will have to reach up and grab the gold themselves! This is the first time the most precious title in the game will be fought for in such a manner, and it will almost certainly be the most brutal bought for the gold yet.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the participants in the Best of the Super Junior Members tournament, the first round match-ups, and the card as a whole. There will be five new GWF superstars debuting in this tournament, yes you read that right - five!

Jeremy Borash can retire knowing that on July 2, 2017, he had a better match than Hiroshi Tanahashi.

I remember when James Storm became a clone of Bray Wyatt and formed a cult with Sanada and Mahabali Shera.

Speaking of Wyatt clones, Rosemary and Sienna worked hard. Heel win, so it could afford to be a little overbooked.

This fuckin' move, why is he still doing it? why is it still a finisher? why? why? WHY?!Yep...this was definitely some TNA level selling.

He does. Lashley got out of it
The move was over big in Mexico as Perro Aguayo Jr.'s finisher so maybe it's a tribute to him.

The finish, as captured in the gif, was not great. But they worked hard, and they told a decent enough babyface story with Alberto against a monstrous Lashley.
It wasn't the best show of the weekend, but it flowed pretty well. Even Borash/Parks vs. Matthews/Steiner was fun, and we didn't have anything as embarrassing as Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss from Extreme Rules. This was probably better as a whole show than the past few WWE PPVs, even if some of three matches didn't live up to expectations.

I forgot TJP was a part of the TNA roster.
The day they went back to the shit sided ring was the day I told myself I am done with TNA forever and I have not watched a single show since.
I know wrestling is carny as fuck but that doesn't mean it needs to literally look like a circus.
Well, WWE keeps the same level of name.
It is kinda hilarious watching some of these news anchors trying to relate to their audience where the clip came from and what WWE is and what is actually happening.
lol Paige
Knowing TNA, the NOAH guys probably didn't even know it was a shit sided ring until they got there.

TNA went downhill once they got rid of the six sided ring. Coincidence? I think not.

That is pretty hilarious, Mrs America.
They have six sides now and they're still shit.
Bischoff and Hogan were the real reason they went downhill.

Alberto would no-show any show that required him to eat a pin, so that would never happen.

That's why you book him in multiman matches when you want a title change
But no, indy promoters just want to keep paying him upfront and telling him "we want you putting over locals/our homegrown talent", still thinking there's any chance he won't just take the money, say "sure", and run
