Legal Low-Blow Attacks

[retardo]

I was wondering if anyone could list anymore legal attacks, used in pro wrestling, that target the groin but are considered legal due to 'indirect contact'.

So, far my list consists of:

- inverted atomic drop
- Hardcore Holly's kick to the abdomen of a victim, who is facing in the opposite direction and holding onto the ring ropes
- Sting's Flair flop headbutt to a victim lying on the mat

Can anyone think of anymore?

Jeff Hardy's wishbone leg drop

Stone Cold's stunner (when he doesn't lift his leg far enough.)
Same goes for the Pedigree and any other move that involves kicking someone in the stomach.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Rock always got away with blantanyl punching someone in the groin when they were lying on the mat.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Holly's move isn't a low blow at all... AS you said, it's a kick to the abs.

[Disturbed316]

Even if his shin could bounce on the jewels.

[Kane Knight]

Holly's move isn't a low blow at all... AS you said, it's a kick to the abs.

That move's almost guaranteed to hit the "balls"

[TerranRich]

Don't refs look the other way to Flair's nut-grab ?

A normal Atomic Drop should hit your balls as well.

Isn't the Dudleys' "Wassup" double-team move a legal low-blow attack? :?:

[Xero]

They ref is usually distracted when they hit the Wassup.

Also, I just remembered how when Chyna was wrestling men they actually kept pointing out that it's legal to low blow her. I believe that came about when Patterson and Brisco were trying to prove she's a man.

The atomic drop is meant to affect the spine, not the groin.

The atomic drop is meant to affect the spine, not the groin.
So you're telling me they never slip?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Not sure if it counts as attack, but shaking the ropes when the opponent is on the turnbuckle.

[Rammsteinmad]

I was watching WCW Uncensored 1999 last week, and at one point during the Kevin Nash VS Rey Mysterio Jr match, Rey Rey reverses this move and last a direct kick to the balls... and the Ref just stands there and watches.

[ddpBANG]

There's also Petey Williams' "Oh Canada." But that's done in TNA where everything seems to be legal.

[Optimistic T]

Jeff Hardy's double leg drop is supposed to do something besides hit the balls. I'm pretty sure it's to pull the groin muscles (LOL) or hamstrings or something. JR explained it this way, at least.

Sting's headbutt and Rey's dropkick are considered accidental. Ditto with the drop toe hold to a headbutt to the groin. It's something that the referee's let slide because they weren't trying it on purpose. The commentators usually mention it being questionable (one saying yes or the other saying no). Other times the referees do a slapstick expression and sometimes the commentators mention it being accidental, as opposed to Flair's blatant nut grabs. Granted, if done too often they look planned and ruin the spots. WCW was pretty good with only doing them every once in a while and thus making them look accidental for the most part, though.

Sometimes in big time matches, the referee will use discretion to let a lowblow slide if the champ is a heel. (or other DQ offenses like the 5 count on choke, thumb to the eye, etc.)

(p.s. it's all fake anyways LOL)
