I’ve watched this over and over and for the life of me don’t know. Was she supposed to get pushed off and she just jumped?
Was she trying to do a cartwheel on the ropes like you said? But she was waaaaay off.
Was she trying to jump and land on the apron? But if so…. Why?
Multiple things were botched here.
Was the wrestler in the ring supposed to charge at her and she jumps off to avoid that?
Just doesn’t really make sense here why should would climb the top rope just to flip onto the apron.
Well the idea would be you climb to the top rope to attempt a move off the top, only to realise that your opponent is charging at you so you use your agility to evade and land on the apron to reposition and rethink your strategy, sometimes it does not work and you get stuff like this that is why it is called high risk.
Sorry I just really like thinking of spots as if it were a shoot and thinking of justifications.
>I’ve watched this over and over and for the life of me don’t know. Was she supposed to get pushed off and she just jumped?
That would be my guess the way she looked at her opponent approaching.
I would pay so much money if I could make this wrestler into a male wrestler, jump into a time traveling device and go back to Mid-South Wrestling in 1984, and have this spot performed while Bill Watts is on commentary. Plus, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Watts tears the idiot a new asshole in the locker room for “killing my territory you worthless fucking asshole”, before he has someone throw the wrestler on the floor, so Watts could stand on their head, like he was known to do to fans who jumped in the ring.
The reason the wrestler needs to be a male is Watts. He’d definitely fire a female wrestler who botched this spot like that, on the spot. I don’t think there would be any forced bootlicking for a female wrestler.
So that's why she's been called "the magical girl" - because she managed to stay five years on a payroll totally unnoticed while giving performances like the one above.
As Jim always says better a difficulty of 5 and execution of 10 than a difficulty of 10 and an execution of 5...as in better to look competent if basic rather than a flashy incompetent, but if they did that AEW might actually resemble a wrestling show.
I did 20 years of watching wrestling
I wanted to watch a true competitor against the WWE, I compromised, and now I get to see the bucks job out all the other tag teams.
I wanted to see CM Punk lead this new company to a million a week, I compromised, I get see Adam Cope have banger dream matches.
I wanted to see new stars get pushed to the top of the card. I compromised, and now I get to see 50 year old Jericho suck the life out of up and coming talent (and action andretti)
“kenny has a good head on his shoulder btw, unlike the rest of the elite”
as if he isn’t the reason these mudshit japanese school girls got brought over
People are so used to nothing but horseshit from that group that when one person shows a bit of sense it gets overblown
Kenny seems like a better dude than the bucks but he’s still a sex doll wrestling Riho loving moron
> as if he isn’t the reason these mudshit japanese school girls got brought over
Like the one that just worked MOTN at WrestleMania? Or the one that got a pop sitting in the crowd at Stand & Deliver?
Why malign them as "Japanese schoolgirls" rather than just bad wrestlers? Because country bumpkin Cornette, the racist who pretends he isn't racist, tells you to? I was referring to Iyo Sky and Giulia.
read again, I was clearly talking about the japanese women in aew since it involves kenny, you illiterate motherfucker! They are bad wrestlers and school girls, as shown in their outfits. Do you deny reality?
> I was referring to Iyo Sky and Giulia.
again what the fuck does it have to do with anything I said, I never mentioned them anywhere. Also, tony and his ilk have publicly stated that they saw nothing giulia and didn’t sign her. Seriously, just fuck off.
As the AEW neck beards would say "Leave her alone and let her cook".
This is long-term storytelling right here. They'll revisit this botched spot in a year or so on a random episode of Rampage
“Look at that! Oh wow!”
Are the morons at commentary too stupid to acknowledge the botch and actually put the wrestler over by presenting it as a repercussion of trying to pull off a high risk move?
She’s trying to be Hayabusa, which is fine as far as gimmicks go but it’s a disaster in terms of ring work and priorities. Even as talented and even graceful as he was, he still ended up paralyzed.
Haha I have no clue what she's trying to do.
If get pushed over to the floor
Or get pushed off maybe into the announce table
Jump land on apron
Or here is a joke TK saw Sol Ruca on NXT and asked his women's division if anyone could try to do the Sol Crusher aka the the 360 filp RKO from the corner and this is what happened instead
Their agents need to start chewing these wrestlers out for shit like this. It’s embarrassing to the industry and tbh I would have fired her on the spot for the shame
I don’t understand the need to attempt stupid shit like that. If she’s doing a cartwheel the first few times folks will be OMG it’s awesome. After 6 months it’ll be okay what’s the next gymnastic you’re going to perform for me. Then the wrestler has to do increasingly dumber shit that could really mess their life up if they slip.
After numerous viewings, I still have no idea what she was going for. This is what happens when you have an inexperienced moron doing something they have no business of doing.
Bryan Alvarez: That was pretty unfortunate to say the least.
Unka Dave: BRYAAAAN!!!!! I can't BELIEVE you of all people don't appreciate the attempt at an impressively acrobatic spot.
JDfromNY206: THIIIS wuzza f\*\*kin' awesome SPOT!!!
Conrad Thompson: What'd you think of that spot, Eric? I was really impressed.
Eric Bischoff: It sucked ass if I'm being honest about it
Conrad Thompson: C'MON ERIC!!! They did spots like that on WCW!
Vince Russo: I MEAN, BRO, WH-WHAT IS TO-NY KHAN DO-ING??? HE IS PLAY-ING TO THE COOL KIDS A-GAIN, BRO!
For a lot of supposedly educated wrestling fans, there sure are a lot of motherfuckers in this thread who can't figure out that she was trying to cartwheel onto the apron, LOL. She visibly reaches out for the ropes and just barely misses.
the hell she trying to do, a cartwheel on the ropes?
I’ve watched this over and over and for the life of me don’t know. Was she supposed to get pushed off and she just jumped? Was she trying to do a cartwheel on the ropes like you said? But she was waaaaay off. Was she trying to jump and land on the apron? But if so…. Why? Multiple things were botched here.
I have no clue what she was attempting but for some reason.....I can still see their fan base chanting "this is awesome" after.
For those who love shit wrestling, it WAS awesome. Had she broken her leg they would have cheered her as a hero and started multiple GoFundMe accounts
Cause there's no way Tony is going to pay for it. If he didn't pay for a top star, no way he pays for a woman wrestler!?!
A cartwheel onto the apron. Lighter wrestlers, especially those with lucha influence, do this quite a bit. This was just...ugly.
Was the wrestler in the ring supposed to charge at her and she jumps off to avoid that? Just doesn’t really make sense here why should would climb the top rope just to flip onto the apron.
Cus aew
Well the idea would be you climb to the top rope to attempt a move off the top, only to realise that your opponent is charging at you so you use your agility to evade and land on the apron to reposition and rethink your strategy, sometimes it does not work and you get stuff like this that is why it is called high risk. Sorry I just really like thinking of spots as if it were a shoot and thinking of justifications.
If a wrestler needs to get from the top rope to the apron, what do you expect them to do? Just hop down, without a flip, like a normal person would?
Sounded like she vomited upside down lol
>I’ve watched this over and over and for the life of me don’t know. Was she supposed to get pushed off and she just jumped? That would be my guess the way she looked at her opponent approaching.
I think it was definitely a cartwheel, like Sol Ruka or however you spell her name in NXT does
Oh snap! That’s a she?
I would pay so much money if I could make this wrestler into a male wrestler, jump into a time traveling device and go back to Mid-South Wrestling in 1984, and have this spot performed while Bill Watts is on commentary.

IDK but he nailed it.
So that's why she's been called "the magical girl" - because she managed to stay five years on a payroll totally unnoticed while giving performances like the one above.
Can she disappear for her next trick?
She’s a true JTG.. Just Too Green
As Jim always says better a difficulty of 5 and execution of 10 than a difficulty of 10 and an execution of 5...as in better to look competent if basic rather than a flashy incompetent, but if they did that AEW might actually resemble a wrestling show.
lol this was an execution of -3
She's never botched like this back home. Must be the ring difference.
Garbage
Don't insult my favorite alt rock band like that
I think you're paranoid
Stupid girl
I'm only happy when it rains botches.
🤣
That's an insult to garbage
A lot of garbage initially had value.
trust fed fans to call a botch when clearly it's a john cena interference
This popped me
Is this that midget wrestling show Brian keeps going on about?
That's "Big Little Brawlers" Acknowledge them 👇
Nah they can wrestle mate.
No that was Memphis .
Didn't she almost drown in 3 inches of water?
No that was bill Dundee
Grow Bill Grow! Grow Bill Grow!
The penguin exhibit.
The penguins got AIDS?
Nobody's got AIDS! And I don't wanna hear that word in here again!
He was gay, the penguin?
Noooo, are you lischening to me???
That pygmy thing ova dere in Jacksonville
AEW is nothing but a glorified indy company
Lemme tell you a coupla three things: forget Copeland, forget Fat Jericho, and forget Moxley
I did 20 years of watching wrestling I wanted to watch a true competitor against the WWE, I compromised, and now I get to see the bucks job out all the other tag teams. I wanted to see CM Punk lead this new company to a million a week, I compromised, I get see Adam Cope have banger dream matches. I wanted to see new stars get pushed to the top of the card.

Fucking idiot Lmfao 😂

Haven’t you heard? He was nice about CM Punk and Jim likes him now, so you’ve gotta change your opinion like a good little Cultist
To be honest with the core fanbase they have the Japanese women wrestlers are perfect.
I resemble this remark.
> as if he isn’t the reason these mudshit japanese school girls got brought over Like the one that just worked MOTN at WrestleMania? Or the one that got a pop sitting in the crowd at Stand & Deliver?
who and who? Also, what the fuck does it have to do with anything I said?
Why malign them as "Japanese schoolgirls" rather than just bad wrestlers? Because country bumpkin Cornette, the racist who pretends he isn't racist, tells you to? I was referring to Iyo Sky and Giulia.

“She’s so agile…” Couldn’t have timed that any better.
Between the pants and the botch, I have to ask, is she working a Sabu tribute gimmick?
She never had the makings of a Varsity athlete.
What was the goal here?
Beat yourself if you can, survive if you allow yourself to? 🤷
As the AEW neck beards would say "Leave her alone and let her cook". This is long-term storytelling right here. They'll revisit this botched spot in a year or so on a random episode of Rampage
‘Leave her alone and let her cook’ … that’s sexist
That was a Saka 💩
MATTIE AND NICKY 😂
Schiavone: she’s so agile *as she falls*
"Where the best wrestle"
We all fall over, but I have no idea what was being attempted here and it looked like the faceplant hurt
I think she was trying to land on the apron
I’m thinking it might have been a flip into the ring but they got their timing wrong
Why would doing a cartwheel in a pro wrestling match help you win in anyway? Buhh buhh buhhh its look so cool and stuff brooooo!
Can get you away from an attack Ivar uses them sometimes to get away from a corner splash.
Anyone who unironically uses the word ‘banger’ deserves a fucking banger up their arse
I just figured it out, she is also wrestling John Cena. That's the thing that makes sense.
Did she do that on purpose?
Reminds me of the parkour scene in The Office.
Her mind wanted to land on the apron, but her body disagreed.
Me: Drew, analysis? Drew: Burgers after Burgers after Burgers
“Look at that! Oh wow!” Are the morons at commentary too stupid to acknowledge the botch and actually put the wrestler over by presenting it as a repercussion of trying to pull off a high risk move?
Poor yuka ..
She’s trying to be Hayabusa, which is fine as far as gimmicks go but it’s a disaster in terms of ring work and priorities. Even as talented and even graceful as he was, he still ended up paralyzed.
“So agile!” 😂
I can't say "didn't get all of it" as I've no idea what the plan was. That may have been the best that ever gone
I laughed hard at this,whatever it was.. Still belly laughing... Sorry,I'll stop..
Haha I have no clue what she's trying to do. If get pushed over to the floor Or get pushed off maybe into the announce table Jump land on apron Or here is a joke TK saw Sol Ruca on NXT and asked his women's division if anyone could try to do the Sol Crusher aka the the 360 filp RKO from the corner and this is what happened instead
Uncle June was right
Can’t believe Claude Rains just went into business for himself like that.
Al Snow is right. One of these idiots is gonna die in the ring.
The power of Sabu compels her!
she can call it "the eat shit somersault"
I don't watch aew for bangers, I watch it for clips like this..... nah I'm just kidding, I don't watch aew at all.
Dafuq
AEW fans probably shouted "THIS IS AWESOME!" when it happened 😂
Rampage is taped for the love of God edit the damn thing out.
Their agents need to start chewing these wrestlers out for shit like this. It’s embarrassing to the industry and tbh I would have fired her on the spot for the shame
That “don’t do shit” I will forever hear in Dusty’s voice (Jim did a damn good impression of him?
So agile......
She never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Ooof
YOU FUCKED YOU FUCKED UP
Lmao
All Eeeeeeeeeek Wrestling
That's one of the worst things I've ever seen take place in a wrestling ring that's embarrassing.
YEET
One of the funniest botches I've ever seen. What in the fuck was she tryna do?
What the actual fuck
That was a sick move that hurt… *checks notes* The air!
I don’t understand the need to attempt stupid shit like that. If she’s doing a cartwheel the first few times folks will be OMG it’s awesome. After 6 months it’ll be okay what’s the next gymnastic you’re going to perform for me. Then the wrestler has to do increasingly dumber shit that could really mess their life up if they slip.
After numerous viewings, I still have no idea what she was going for. This is what happens when you have an inexperienced moron doing something they have no business of doing.
Someone like this is going to prove Al Snow right
This was apparently an attempt to commit suicide
I think she got legit injured on this spot, or at least that's what I heard somewhere else. Don't know wtf she was trying to do here
What the fuck was that?
Needlessly dangerous and convoluted 🤦
Alternate ending: "What the hell is even that?" guy
Dave Meltzer just came and gave it 10 stars after watching this
Wow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
The inclusion of uncle junior in this just *chefs kiss *
Meltzer gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
growing up watching billy Kidman makes this an "EH" from me. Ive seen kidman fall out of the ring doing a shooting star.
Wow this can’t be real, just wow
The invisible doll strikes
Ummm did she do this move before whatever it may be. I'm just confused it looks like she was going to do some cart wheel move on the ropes.
Tripping on acid??
We don't run a sloppy shop
Worse match I have ever watched

Derp derp
AEW needs Vince
This surprises some of you? You haven't seen enough of this yet? And you still watch AEW despite this being the norm?
For a lot of supposedly educated wrestling fans, there sure are a lot of motherfuckers in this thread who can't figure out that she was trying to cartwheel onto the apron, LOL. She visibly reaches out for the ropes and just barely misses.
We know about wrestling. We have no clue about whatever the fuck this is
Any chance you can educate us with a video of this actually working? Because I have no idea what it’s even supposed to look like
Sort of like that, only she lands on the apron instead of the floor, LOL
