This is such an annoying modern trope. I think a big part of where wrestling lost me is when I saw a match and someone hit their “finisher.” The other wrestler kicked out, because
of course they did but it then cut to these fans putting their hands on their face and acting like it was the most surreal thing ever. How could you possibly be surprised at that point? I realized I didn’t want to be a wrestling fan anymore in that moment. Just one of those things that tries to embarrass you.
Beyond the execution of these moves, is it even hard to kick out of an alleged finish by three? That’s not the skilful part of a match. There’s no “art” to that. The skill is in actually building a story and context to the moves.
