I think HBKs nip up has really jumped the shark though...that even casual fans have come to the point where you just KNOW it's coming if he is taking the beating and when it hits it's just predictable...  
  
now if he only did it once every three years against high profile guys after taking a huge beating and then winning the match...then YES...it does hurt the match and the opponent... 
  
but at this point it's just another crowd pop spot...  
  
so in a way I agree wholeheartedly...in another way...it's just HBK and a silly spot... at least he doesn't take like a 50 foot fall and 75 chair shots before it...
