And the other guy still pins him. Twice. <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gKQ_s9nyYKE?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gKQ_s9nyYKE?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
It's not a backflip. It's called a MoonSault, you noob. Actually, what he did was two backflips, I don't know what the hell it's called, but it's called sloppy and stupid. It's still real to me, damnit!
I'm surprised he's still semi-conscious. And, he is incredibly lucky to still be able to move his limbs after that. He could have easily broken his neck.
I'm dying to find a gif of this. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sjMwIXQ7SKg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Very similar to Hayabusa's career ending moonsault accident. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bNQVewr5aa0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can't and would never fake that, he didn't have secure footing so he was more concerned about getting in the air and not slipping off the ropes than he was about timing the flips. No one had ever seen it before and that's why everyone, particularly the announcer, stopped dead in their tracks. The opponent was doubly smart in that he continued the performance but ended it as quickly as possible. Probably saved the promoters from a potential suit for not having some kind of medics nearby.
I think I rather break my neck than participate in an exploding anus match where the idea is to stick a firecracker up ones anus. Ahhh, those zany Japanese.
There are a lot of people here that fail at detecting sarcasm, and have apparently never opened another wrestling thread on this board (all of which are littered with "Fake"). Yes I know he did not fake landing on his head.
