The Junkyard Dog's pathetic, offensively stupid little doggie headbutts. He literally gets down on all fours, doggie-crawls over to his opponent (who for whatever reason is also on all fours), and bonk! Gently knocks foreheads with them as they throw themselves backwards as if they've been shot in the face with a canon. It's offensively stupid, it's entirely impractical, it's wildly unrealistic and it fills me with rage.
I'd post a clip of it but my initial Youtube search didn't result in one and I really don't feel like spending significant time looking for one or wasting yours with a full match. Just trust me, you'll know it when you see it. Just go watch any JYD match ever and I guarantee he'll do it at some point, it's one move in his one-move repertoire. Well actually two I guess, if you count punching.

That's more of a spot than a move, but yes, it's incredibly stupid, to the point of being unforgivable. This is why I can't take CHIKARA fans seriously. It's CZW actually. Those morons wrestled extensively in CHIKARA as well. |

The Cobra itself is much less stupid than a lot of other moves though. I'm fond of asking people who bitch about it if I can jam the tips of my fingers into their throat 8) |

i always hated when the bulldog would hold his opponent up in the vertical suplex for what seemed an eternity (didn't bother me as much when Kobashi did it, oddly enough), just so he can show off all the "work" he did in the "gym" (and by 'work and gym' i meant steroids and gym)..

Didn't mind the move but yeah, it's pretty stupid. Very polite of his victim to hold himself stiff as a board for Bulldog. |

and yeah, coming from me this will seem weird, but Brock using the Kimura, because it's a "move" he "learned" in the UFC...a submission he never used..and the fact he uses it in his guard, annoys the piss out of me also, because a kimura from the guard is nearly impossible to finish..no matter how strong the guy is. jiu jitsu in pro wrestling bothers me for some reason..don't get me started on the "cross-armbreaker"..

After hearing JR Tell a story about this on the Steve Austin Podcast the other day, I googled it...... It was true, Such a ridiculous thing existed in Pro-Wrestling.
Now I bring to you, The Insanely Stupid "Invisible Wrestler"

TNA deciding to take their show on the road (oh not that kind of move)?
I always found the Samoan spike pretty unrealistic. And the la mistica (Sin Cara's so far botched submission) just seemed to convoluted to be believable

I've always thought the Samoan Spike was stupid as well. Don't get me wrong, it'd hurt, but it's still stupid.

That would be pretty effective. true it just seemed lazy that they gave Umaga that as a secondary finisher. You'd think packaging him as a power guy that he'd be given something more fitting |
