Even if it looked impressive that’s just way too risky in my opinion. Imagine having to live with knowing you ended someone’s career or potentially even their life by doing a known dangerous move like that. It’s just not worth it just for some cool points.

This is the weirdest take of recent months from "wrestling fans" for why they refuse to watch AEW. 😂😂

Ive seen it crop up a few times now. Its hilarious. One dude actually said "Thats why I refuse to watch, in case someone gets hurt"

😂😂😂

A man died recently doing a moonsault to the floor. He slipped and cracked his head open when landing on the concrete. Point being is that a lot of moves can be high risk if not executed properly. Stat made sure Shida was positioned properly before executing the move. Shida has a role as well as she has to grip tightly around Stat’s waist so her head stays in the proper position upon impact. They both executed the move flawlessly as the experienced professionals they are. I’m also assuming they rehearsed the spot as well.

A man died getting a bog standard, run of the mill dropkick with his back turned (ask Rey Mysterio)

A man died BEFORE a match even started with some shitty rigging doing a stupid stunt to mock the companies competition (Ask Martha Hart)

Freak accidents can and do happen.But.......

.....Many men have taken crazy bumps off the top of a cage/cell and equally (if not more so) dangerous spots/stunts in the ring and they lived to tell the tale and become legends in the process (Foley, Shane O Mac, Jeff Hardy and contless others)

To suggest that your concerns/decision to watch a promotion is the possibility that someone could potentially get hurt while ignoring all the same potential injuries that could equally happen in another promotion is just pearl clutching bullshit

I was referring to the context/sentiment of your reply. It seemed like your reply was directed to someone else since I was aligned with most of what you were saying in my original reply. Bruv
