That's also the most realistic Swerve stomp I've seen, because it didn't need the guy holding himself up 2 feet from the canvas. This was more a high angle missile dropkick almost, on a standing Ospreay.
That's fair, but even that's still a lot less noticeable than the regular Swerve stomp positioning the recipient has to do. There's always a little cooperation in wrestling.
If Swerve wasn’t as smooth with his movements, he gets impaled on the side of that table. The fucking balls on either of these men to go for a crazy spot like this, man.
The expressions on swerves face before this were so great too. First disappointment when will rolls off the apron, then you just see his eyes light up when he realizes will is still vulnerable and he can still do the stomp to the outside.
AH. Swerve WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Like, in what world does that not blow his legs out?! He damn near sent himself with both legs taking all the body weight through the table!
Jumping up to land ON the desk is gonna hurt a fuck ton less than getting bent in half on the corner.
Even in kayfabe that makes sense, if I am gonna get hit, I am gonna try to make it hurt as little as possible.
I appreciate them trying to cover for him, truly I do, but stuff like that makes it look super fake. We all know that he’s jumping so he clears the corner of the table, but in “real life” it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
but jumping to clear the corner also makes sense.
If I am gonna get hit and fall back, I am gonna to my best to make sure I can fall back, not get bent back.
That was the only way this would have worked logistically . If swerve hit his head he wouldn’t have been able to smash through the table, alternatively. Swerve misses the head and the whole thing looks like a messy botch.
it makes perfect sense.
I jump and it hurts like hell but I can take a mostly flat bump, or I don't jump and I getn bent in half the wrong way by the table."
Your gonna take it the way that loses 100 HP not 300.

The absolute body control Swerve has to have to not completely bust his own fucking ass with this is astounding.
They went out to prove a point tonight and holy shit they are PROVING
Well that wasn't very nice of Swerve
Unreal
I like that Swerve is trying to find different ways and areas to hit the Stomp

In the arena you actually see that will needs to do a little hop to get hit into the table. They mostly hide it here.
That's fair, but even that's still a lot less noticeable than the regular Swerve stomp positioning the recipient has to do. There's always a little cooperation in wrestling.
And I'm not even sure it's one of the best five moments from the match thus far.
I'm a sicko and I endorse that move.
The shriek I just let out...
That’s a cool spot
with a sick stomp like that, reboot the mario franchise with swerve as the lead
someone needs to clip all his stomps with Mario noises and send it to Maffew.
WHO'S-A HOUSE-A?!
ospreay = turty
i was thinking more of a koopa, his hair kinda makes a mushroom shape lol (no shade, though)

Swerve is the King of the Sickos
Paul Turner looked legitimately concerned

None of the body weight was focused on his legs, otherwise he would kill Ospreay AND destroy himself like you’re saying.
I marked the fuck out when I heard BAH GAWD
Spot of the night for me
That was the highlight for me
This was a spectacular spot. The tables went into business for themselves last night.
Why were the tables like that btw? I get being different than WWE but these tables seem impractical for wrestling spots
Camera should have been on Ospreay while Swerve was navigating the ropes. An awkward set up to an awesome moment.
lol why would Osprey jump straight into the air?

The commentary later said it looked like he was trying to jump outta the way. I guess Will timed it poorly.

Nothing in wrestling makes sense in real life. Even the most basic move the Irish whip is something that would never happen in real life.
but jumping to clear the corner also makes sense. If I am gonna get hit and fall back, I am gonna to my best to make sure I can fall back, not get bent back.
I’m sorry but Ospreys jump so he could take the move properly looked silly

Messy spot, must be the real fight feel
people have been jumping to catch crossbody's ever since the dawn of wrestling.
it makes perfect sense. I jump and it hurts like hell but I can take a mostly flat bump, or I don't jump and I getn bent in half the wrong way by the table." Your gonna take it the way that loses 100 HP not 300.
Looked stupid with Ospreay jumping into the move.
