I did in fact read several of your simultaneous posts. I think you would be well advised to hold your breath for a moment, or 2.

Basically, he is in the air and quite vunerable. If his opponent catches it quick enough, then he is set up for a supplex. Impressive, but very dangerous.

Crap! That's not even real wrestling.
Now, this is real.

I was speaking with The CLK Man, you told me what a dufus I was, I attempted to clarify and now you advise me as how to behave.

This is OD. Some threads are playful, some serious. Some change in mid-stream.

The OP introduced the subject with a spirit of amazement of enjoyment.

The second person to join had the same spirit.

The third to join had the same spirit.

The fourth (myself) did as well.

And then you show up and corrected us.

I tried to share the jocularity with you.

You focus on me and seek to further correct me.

I enjoy the video, I like the stills, the rah-rah camaraderie was fun until you quenched it.

On with the day.

Now where is that personal block list?
You sound confused. Quite frankly, I can't sort that out for you. "Dufus" is usually not part of my vocabulary, maybe someone else?

I was completing my post when you submitted.

If interested read it.

I distilled the essence of your words to my comment.

Why do you keep wanting to do something for me?

The thread started with us enjoying the guy's move.

Then you showed up.

Very odd.

I see you're up in infantile praise over a few seconds long video clip. Is that the glorified culture you mention in your other posts?

I care very little how you behave. You seem to fall apart, while attempting to make a stand in your own whirlwind?

Did you actually dance around your computer while you enjoyed the clip?
I don't think you can distill the essence of your own words, much less mine. But that's just my opinion.

Maybe you can define enjoyment, despite the fact that I showed up.

If it is so easy to alter your enjoyment, how well would you say the culture you speak of, is founded?

In the piece they said something about the element of surprise being a big part of it. If someone were to watch video of that move many times before wrestling that fellow, they might have a counter move to take advantage of him while he was in the air. I'm thinking one could grab the torso and bring him down on his back with you on top.

But it was an interesting move. He was able to harness the potential energy of gravity on his body to bring the fellow down.

His opponent seemed a bit timid in his response. Fit looking fellow but he may not have the instincts for it.

Oh well, I like athletic skill now and then. I didn't wrestle formally but did some in high school here and there. My freshman year at WSU (WA) a guy on my floor was an avid wrestler and was always forcing people into a challenge, not in an obnoxious way but just a jock kind of thing. Reminded of him now, I was just thinking how he was a good guy all in all.

He was no lightweight and I can only imagine the workouts with him were of benefit. Amazing how exhausted you can get wrestling. One long weekend, we put our matresses in the little break room and had a wrestling tournament. Good times.

I was wrestling myself when I was around the age 13. The training was extremely exhausting and also dangerous. You could get injured very easily. I was heavy weight class already back then.

Strategically, his opponent will now be alerted.

However, I can see the fantastic body control of such a move.

In the jock world a Stud is a really good athlete.

Also sometimes called a "real horse". One time I called a girl on my daughter's track team a Horse to the assistant coach. My wife called me out on it but he knew what I meant!

OK, I understand now, although it still sounds a little gay to me.
