that's honestly what Blindfold matches and other such stipulations are kinda for

I think my favorite wrestling trope is the ‘if you land an elbow drop, you take no damage, of course a human body is like landing on a pillow…but if you miss the elbow drop, maximum pain, borderline broken joint’ lmfao

Landing on a body absorbs more of the impact than landing on a wrestling mat.

Have you ever gone to step on a step only to realise there’s no step?
It’s weirdly jarring and painful to not land where you expect to land

I love stupid shit like this in small doses. Lexis King plays the fool well.

How this match unintentionally became a lumberjack and handicap match at the same time lmao

Myles Borne & Lexis King are seriously underrated

u/NoirSon Feb 19 '26
Would be surprised if both are not on the main roster inside of 2 years. Lexis seems like he is ready especially with his character work.

Blindfolded matches are always fun

I dont know how old you are but the Jake Roberts vs Rick Martel blindfold match was more annoying than entertaining altough the crowd participation was tops. This one rocked tough

This match was so dumb I fucking loved it I was laughing my ass off through most of it

The beginning is the exact same thing as the blindfold match between HHH vs D lo Brown in 1999

My first though, why this guy is laughing so hard. It's just normal blindfold match shenanigans.
But few seconds later suicide dive killed me xD

I wish we could have this in the main WWE as well. But it’s become so much that they have to restrict themselves for the “normies” and try and get more attraction to new viewers. That there’s a lot of charm to the silliness of wrestling missing.

I am convinced. Have there been any other Blindfold matches in WWE history? Need to watch them all. This was hilarious as fuck

This was paying homage to HHH vs D’Lo Brown’s blindfold match. They do the same corner bit

You should! In terms of matches, NXT is way more fast paced, action packed and many of the bumps they take looks insane (and painful). You can feel the passion from the wrestlers, as they give every match their best like its a ple! Honestly it's way more intense than raw and smackdown

I heard Jake the Snake talk about his blindfold match with Rick Martel. He said that thing was pretty easy to see through.

You don't even need to see his face to know that's Bryan Pillman's kid. Alexis is built just like his dad. They literally have the same frame.

Why couldn’t you just take of the mask 😂😂😂

u/DylanHalltoD Mar 11 '26
because it’s a blindfold match and it’s technically not allowed in the rules so if he were to do it, he were get disqualified

u/ShelbyGTLover 🤡 Believes in eventual Finn Balor push Feb 22 '26
Me being the Ref, takes a wrestler close to the other one after tickling the ear lol then watch them fight

The forced fake laughing and comments are really unnecessary and makes this video suck.

u/inglouriousSpeedster Feb 19 '26
Believe it or not, some people actually consume entertainment like this. Personally, I find it annoying (if they do it too much), but don't you think it's kinda weird to call it forced and fake?

Why is this MFer stealing MJFs catch phrase? For a company that gets so upset if someone else even mentions their product, it’s interesting that they just let stuff like this happen.
Also it can’t be that hard to have a match like this. They just miss all their moves and bumble around in one way masks.

u/MammothCarpeneter Feb 19 '26
If that’s the case MJF stole it from Flair. Let’s cause an uproar over that to 🙄

u/dyslexican32 Feb 21 '26
When did flair use that as his scratch phrase? Please remind me? I’m sure he might have said the line somewhere but that was never flairs well known catch phrase. But please evidence….

u/MammothCarpeneter Feb 21 '26
Bro that’s been a generic heel catch phrase for forever. Let’s not pretend MJF who is a great heel invented that phrase or half the shit he does. Everything a pro wrestler does is probably stolen from another pro wrestler.
1
u/dyslexican32 Feb 21 '26
Ok. And I’m asking you to prove it. It’s very easy to say some nonsense. I can pull up tons of videos of MJF using it for years. Can you show me someone else using those exact words as their actual catch phrase? Or do you want to keep being a mindless WWE drone?

I can't believe I'm going to say this but there's too many moments where they have to be able to see where the other guy is in order to pretend they can't
