What The Fuck Is Fighting Spirit

**What Would Kevin Do?** · 03-25-2008, 01:19 AM

What Destor said. Fighting Spirit is also somewhat bastardized on the American indy scene. AJPW mid 90's is really one of the best examples though. There's a difference between an indy guy no selling a german suplex, getting up, and nailing a string of moves, vs A guy taking a german suplex, staggering to his feet through the pain, and managing to nail a hard lariat, taking his opponent down before he collapses back to the ground as well.

FS really adds to a match when done right. It's no selling done in a way that adds legit drama, and doesn't downplay the move, or the person giving it.
