Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 17, 2004 Watching Randy Orton totally fuck up the most elementary move in the business tonight made me think of how many great moments the low blow has actually led to. So, I'd ask everyone what their favorite actual ballshot is, along with their favorite fuck up, sell of the shot, most original and best foreign object assisted ballshot (Christian on Edge with a chair, for example.) One of my favorites ever was Jericho's kick on HBK last year. The timing, reaction from Jericho, and selling from Shawn were all great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 It's not really a ball shot sell, but I loved the way Hall would sell an inverted Atomic Drop. I didn't like Chyna's low blow. "One of my favorites ever was Jericho's kick on HBK last year. The timing, reaction from Jericho, and selling from Shawn were all great. " Yup. I mark for Al Snow pulling a bowling ball out of a bag and STRIIIIIKE! Even if he did rip it off of Dreamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 Well if I can include ECW in this since Dreamer is technically a WWE worker now, umm I'd say when Lawler LEGIT smacked Dreamer's balls and he let out a scream like a little girl, and threw his hand up, and Lawler was visibly aware he actually caught him with it. That night Dreamer had a bunch of fluid drained from his balls....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 Flair misses 90% of the time and doesn't come NEAR the crotch. Maybe now...but my favourite is from Royal Rumble 92, when he, in the immortal words of Bobby Heenan, "tried to lift the Undertaker." Close second to the one he gave Bulldog in the very early stages of the Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 at No Mercy 2000 i think, when Jericho was wrestling X-Pac in a cage match and he landed at the top of the cage door......ooooh that had to hurt I like that one too. I rememebr that match having an usually high ratio of ball shots. Two spots I'll never get tired of: In a tag team where one guy's laying on the ground and the other guy falls and headbutts his own partner in the sack. X-Pac goes for a bronco buster, which is countered by the other guy sticking his leg up, with Pac flying crotch first into his foot. This happened a few times, I remember a particularly good one with Jeff Hardy, but I can't recall when or where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 During the Austin/Bret submission classic, Bret is punching away at Austin in the corner, and then there's this pause, and all of a sudden Austin just brutally kicks Bret in the balls. Bret sells it like he was shot and screams, clutches his knees together and falls backwards. Plus JR's comment was funny too: "That was down there around Saskatoon! A LOW one!".

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted February 17, 2004 If anyones ever seen Starrcade 99, re-watch Madusa vs. Evan Karagias. Not for the 5-star classic it is (sarcasm), but to see Karagias valet give him the ABSOLUTE WORST LOW BLOW EVER, and he doesn't bother to try and sell it until a few seconds afterwards. Ugh.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 On RAW when Vince was in the ring and had Austin come out in a suit and tie to be "corporate". Austin didn't low blow him, it was more of a chop to the groin or something. Vince's sell of that move was just classic, I still find it funny as hell.
