Its probably good to have Kairi drop the elbow before her hip turns into complete liquid anyways

she doesnt even protect her fall like savage. its pretty much guaranteed to destroy her hip in a few years

She is a real pirate, she can handle it.

 

[Sephzilla]

Check your PMs dude.

i replied to yours like 10 minutes ago

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

MELTZER SAID SUMMER RAE IS READY TO COME BACK!

Spoiler

And they have no plans for her.

well pirates do have a lifespan of about 34 years

Ok, I agree with the Hojo thing being ridiculous,but there is 0 wrong with the Bayley elbow drop GIF above.

 

[Cosmozone]

If true, fuck this shit.

for comparison:

Bayley looks like she needs George III. or what was its name.

 

[Foggy]

Bayley's elbow drop has zero elevation and zero distance and zero hangtime. There's really nothing to like about it.

She doesn't even make it look like she lands with her elbow.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Bayley's done the elbow drop like three times guys.

And one of those times she busted Charlotte up IIRC.

 

[enewtabie]

So can the WWE go full Diesel/Shawn with Nia/Alexa. I need a jumping High five and some posing.

 

[Data West]

Bayley plummets like a rock. I dont know why she keeps doing aeriel moves

 

[imBask]

Bayley needs to stop

 

[FlammableD]

You're all being insane. It's a perfectly good elbow drop. She hits the mat the same frame her elbow connects, you're just looking to bitch about Bayley because that's what this thread seems to love these days.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Bayley truly is the new Cena. Hojo is her Tyler Reks.

 

[Sephzilla]

Bayley's elbow drop > CM Punk's elbow drop

For real

Probably Sasha's idea she wants to do "cool" spots, get hurt fast and as much as possible.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Bayley's elbow drop > CM Punk's elbow drop

The truth right here.

Bayley's is pretty decent. Punk's was the worst tribute ever.

Bayley plummets like a rock. I dont know why she keeps doing aeriel moves

Every time Sasha is involved in a Hurricanrana spot she nearly breaks her neck.

 

[Foggy]

Bayley needs to stop

Punk sacrificed form for distance and Bayley sacrifices distance for form. They're both pretty bad.

People here are looking at Hojo, Saturn and Macho Man as examples of good elbow drops. Bayley's is shit in comparison to all of them.

 

[Kaladin]

I told you Gaff would even turn on Bayley.

I'm just going to leave this here.

 

[FlammableD]

I never said it was a GOAT elbow, I said there's 0 wrong with it. Which there isn't.

Also we're shitting on the Takeover Rana spot now that everyone loved and freaked out over at the time? SMDH WrassleGAF

A lot of people at the time were worried Sasha broke her neck in that spot, honestly.

 

[Foggy]

I can't speak for this group at large, but I don't think you'll find past positive sentiment of Bayley with the people shitting on her here right now.

 

[imBask]

I'm just going to leave this here.

want me to go back to the thread from like 2 years ago when people were telling me there's no way they would fuck up Bayley and she was too over to fail?

Spoiler

I won't

I said it looked dangerous then. Check the books.

I was just pointing out how dangerous it is. Didn't say it sucked, just that Sasha's neck was about an inch or two away from being fucked up.

 

[giancarlo123x]

All this disagreement here while the power of positivity takes over.

 

[FlammableD]

Rana? Also it isn't all Wrasslegaf 😛

It's a reverse (hurrican)rana

 

[Fox318]

How does a goat do a flying elbow?

They only have knees

 

[Data West]

its actually a reverse frankensteiner thank you

 

[Syder]

Bayley's elbow drop > CM Punk's elbow drop

My Nan's elbow drop is better than CM Punk's.

 

[Foggy]

Like your face.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I just realized AA have completely vanished from TV.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

That Hojo news is fucked up but completely unsurprising

WWE turns everyone they sign into a family friendly nutrient slurry devoid of any excitement, why would one signing change that formula

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The reality seems to be, no more elbow drops from Kairi Hojo because Bayley's is "ok".

I mean, fuck.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm still gonna wait and see what happens.

There isn't plans for Hojo to wrestle in the WWE yet for a few months. She could easily debut and be allowed to use it.

 

[Fox318]

Amazing how NXT used to be able to make stars like AA only for them to go bye bye when Vince gets his paws on them

 

[Zach]

its actually a reverse frankensteiner thank you

Get 'em.

 

[British Monsoon]

If it's Steiner doing any variation of the move, or if it's done on an opponent running towards the wrestler or off the top then I'll call it a Frankensteiner. If it ends in a pin it's a Hurricanrana, anything else I'll just call a rana. Poison Rana for a reverse variation, because it sounds cool

Oh, and Dragon Kid's multiple variations of course, Ultra Rana, Super Rana, Dragon Rana.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Amazing how NXT used to be able to make stars like AA only for them to go bye bye when Vince gets his paws on them

It's kind of funny.

AA weren't ruined because they got stuck with a shitty storyline. They more or less got stuck with no storyline. Barely any mic time, they won the belts from Orton and Bray and then got boring ass overpowered booking where they beat most of the tag team division until the Usos feud where the crowd wanted the Usos to win more then they wanted AA.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Who knows what could happen in a few months, right?

Maybe Emma will be able to take a step without breaking everything by then, even.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Doubtful, to say the least

 

[Anth0ny]

fuck me, hojo's elbow is god tier


i don't blame bayley. i blame this piece of shit carnival of a company for being dumb as fuck

 

[UrbanDandy]

Apparently according to Metlz if Tanahashi doesn't have surgery on his injured bicep, which he probably won't because he'd be out of months and months and that'd fuck all New Japan's plans, he could end up with a permanent bicep muscle deformity... :|

It's the same thing that happened to Mr. Wonderful Paul Orendorf...
Tana should get that fixed.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Hojo gonna come up with a new top rope move even more magnificent than her elbow to get her over with us westerners who demand flips and shit, all Vinny Mac's genius master plan don't you see?!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Remember when Slater and Rhyno were a hot thing?
