Modern medicine making wrestlers necks strong enough to survive piledrivers regularly was such a miracle

lack of ball knowledge, in the 70s and 80s piledrivers were literally like a transitional move. McMahon got you fucked up

 

[Brett]

Always found it funny when I’d watch like an old terry funk match or NWA joint and a dude kicks out quickly at 2 like 5 mins into a match from a piledriver

 

[Brett]

And how piledriver discord is nowadays

 

[Chris]

Yeah that's true actually, Harley race did it a ton

 

[Chris]

He was a spot monkey

 

[Chris]

I haven't watched near enough 70s stuff tho, I think I'd enjoy a lot

 

[Brett]

Bruno Sammartino the original spot monkey

When I did my dive into written wrestling history I did find stories basically every generation saying the new one was killing the business in some way or another lol usually always bc finishing moves from the previous generation were now regular moves and bc it was "too fast"

to be fair... Banning the moved has made it mean a lot more and with head trauma being a thing we care about now it's fair. Now if only they're ban the Superkick lol

Pretty much every 10 years after the 30s when it became common knowledge it was performance and they graded it as such
