I don't think WWE had any intention of putting the belt on Jericho just yet. It's not like they have to do a lot to get him out of the title picture anyway. All he needs to do is lose to Orton, then move on to the next feud - Orton has a ready made feud with HHH/Hardy anyway.

How many? It's much easier to find a video of a Swanton performed correctly than one that's terribly botched. Find me videos of ones that are botched, since it is so hard to do.

I still maintain that the Swanton would be one of the easier top rope moves to hit. Jeff Hardy is what, a little under 6'0? That's about the distance he had to somewhat connect with the move. For Jeff to completely miss? I dunno, it doesn't seem right to me. As KK said, shit like this happens. Cena fucked up a hip toss, Chavo got injured off an arm drag, but still...you're making the Swanton sound like a Phoenix Splash. It's not, it's a front flip. And Xero is right, given his reputation, it's not like Jeff Hardy is Paul London botching the London Calling for the first time. As I said, I'm not trying to ride Jeff Hardy into the ground, I'm just saying...Jeff Hardy is not the guy to make one mistake. He's a builder of them.

Originally, I thought Carlito may have had something to do with the spot, because he is disgruntled and all that, but the way it is written kind of eliminates that possibility, at least as a likely scenario. If Carlito rolled out of the way, it wouldn't have been "hilarious." To me, it sounds like Jeff overjumped, or underjumped, or just fucked up in general. I can't really imagine how he did it, but it probably happened.

Also, Vince interrupting would not have been as likely if Carlito had rolled out of the way. He might not have been aware it was supposed to be the finish, or he might have given more time for them to re-work the spot, so that the company isn't embarrassed in front the troops. Jeff Hardy fucking up makes the most sense in the way Vince gets pissed off and gives Jeff another take.

There isn't anything else I've seen going around about this, so I'd say Jeff is safe and clear.

At best this would mean that Jeff doesn't know how to recover from fuckups, like Orton.
I thought of Randy Orton when I read this, too.

You asked for videos of the move performed correctly. Go look up YouTube. If you meant to say "I'd like to see you do it," my retort is that I could actually do it. I'm an agile guy myself, so I can flip forward a few degrees. And if you meant "I'd like to see you do it," then you should have just said it.

And your point was that you "can't imagine how it went wrong." You made it out that the move is really easy to fuck up. It really isn't.

Accurate. Adjective.

Swantons. Noun.

From. Preposition.

Everybody. Object of Preposition.

(...That says it's easy)

Videos of it.

I don't know how much more bluntly to put it. I didn't think it was possible to misunderstand.

Fuckin' Jesus, are you just misinterpreting shit on principle now?

Point stands. If it's that easy, then an Alienoid swanton shouldn't be too much to ask for.

He didn't say it originally. He said "If the Swanton Bomb is so easy, find me a video of it being done." He corrected his broad statement later.

I could upload me flipping forward into my pool, or something. I don't see the point, though. Fuck, I could do a flip onto my couch, or even onto my floor. Fuck, get me a wrestling ring and I could hit one a marked "X." I know how to break my fall, so at worst I'll probably get a bit bruised. It's not hard to fucking flip forward. I'm not going to go through the trouble of uploading a video because The Critic asked for one. I already chased up existing quotes for him in another thread because he was too fucking lazy to do it.

Besides, Critic is way off point anyway. A doctor should be able to perform a simple medical procedure. Occasionally they will misdiagnose, or make a human mistake, but that doesn't open the floor to ridiculous demands like "if the procedure is so easy, you do it yourself!"

The point here is that Jeff made a huge mistake. Not just a little botch. This one got the boss involved, and was notable enough that someone attending the show described it as "hilarious." That's Randy Orton running in and out with a steel chair right there. Shit happens, but the point is that shit used to happen with junkie Jeff, so when shit happens, it's reasonable to speculate on whether it will be a one time occurrence or if he's going down the same slippery slope, again.

I still think it is fucking stupid that Jeff missed a fucking Swanton Bomb. The kid should be hitting them in his sleep, and even when he was stoned, he was hitting them off ladders. For that reason, it probably isn't drug-related, but fuck if it doesn't make any sense. That'd be like Val Venis missing a Money Shot. This is coming from his biggest TPWW supporter. If Sean Morley missed a Money Shot completely when he was meant to hit it, I'd be asking what the fuck was wrong with him, too.

Yeah, shit happens, I hope Jeff can recover. As KK said, though, it's fun to make Jeff Hardy jokes.

Well, I can't say you couldn't have made it clearer, since you could have said something to the effect of:

You chased up quotes that I shot down immediately. Go ahead and ignore that portion of the thread, though. It wasn't that I was lazy, it's that I had already addressed those quotes exactly. Fuck, that's not even relevant to this conversation.

Nobody accuses small medical procedures of being easy, do they? Sounds a little bit fucking different to me.

Jeff Hardy fucked up a Swanton.




Some people think it's a huge deal.

Well, let's be fair, there are simple medical procedures.

Of course, to diagnose or operate, you need at least seven years of school and a sheet of paper saying you're qualified.

Not to mention another point, and I think we can all agree on this:

Wrestlin' ain't brain surgery.

What's "simple" in the medical field, and what's simple in wrestling is not comparable. Also, I think the way 'Noid talked about how he could do it (Specifically, the tone) undercuts his point greatly here.

Quote:
Yeah, absolutely atrocious. Wrestlers never miss moves. How appalling, this concept that sometimes guys just fuck up. Ridiculous. Preposterous!
That's what really gets me the most.

I mean, I've seen wrestlers fuck up hip tosses. Another, more universal truth:

Shit. Fucking. Happens. Now, am I contesting that it's a simple move? No. It's relatively straightforward, but there is ALWAYS a margin of error in wrestling or any other physical activity. I mean, so he fucked up. It was a simple move, but bad things happen. Even a "sure thing" can go south. It shouldn't even be remotely surprising that you can screw up from the top rope.

Yeah. I'm not even saying that the swanton's hard to do, I'm just saying that it's a flip from the turnbuckle onto a specific target. It couldn't possibly be so easy that it's impossible to miss.

People fuck up, and this is definitely something that could be fucked up (more easily than alot of other moves--for example, a cutter, or a hip toss, which as previously mention get fucked up with minimal brick shitting).

I just don't buy the whole "JEFF HARD DID DRUGS. THAT MEANS IF HE MISSES ONE MOVE AT ONE SHOW NOW, HIS WHOLE CAREER COULD BE ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL" thing.

It happens sometimes. Hogan's fucked up boots, Nash has fucked up powerbombs, Orton's fucked up RKOs. But omg, Jeff has a history of doing drugs. That's perfect justification for making a huge deal about every individual accident he has.

And TBH, if I were going to start somewhere, I'd start with the big boot. How the FUCK do you mess that one up? And so consistently? I mean, I know I've been saying every move has a margin of error, but if I were gonna start talking about someone, wouldn't be the guy jumping on to something.

Just gonna add my two cents and say that I agree with Xero on page one. Vince coming out totally killed the segment. If Jeff and Carlito just sold it and set themselves up to do it again nobody would have thought twice about it.

Jeff overshot a Swanton earlier tonight. His head barely hit Carlito. All you have to do is sell it how it was hit. If he fully lands on you, sell it like he did. If he completely misses you, sell it like he completely misses you. it's wrestling and you should be able to do this.

No, my point is that your arguments are always: "Find this for me. I'm not going to listen to any of you unless you throw evidence at me." What evidence have you brought to the table? None. Why don't you take on the burden of proof for a change, and stop being such a lazy bastard.

No, you didn't shoot them down. You think you do, but you asked for people who said that Chris Jericho has a negative effect on the ratings. I showed you two. You were wrong. Even if they did not blame Jericho for the low ratings, there were two people who said RAW's ratings were lower.

And who the fuck are you to decide what is relevant? Sounds like you're dealing with what you want to deal with, to me. How is me doing a Swanton relevant? Answer: It's not. I'm not a professional wrestler performing professional wrestling moves.

Actually, they do. There are very, very simple medical procedures. I'd expect a doctor to be able to do them. I'd expect a wrestler to be able to perform wrestling moves after doing them for ten years.

I have said many times that guys fuck up. I'm usually the first to defend Shelton Benjamin for botching a springboard or something. The whole point of this thread was Vince coming out, Jeff not being able to afford to make mistakes and the result being embarrassing for Jeff just as he is about to get a career match opportunity against Triple H at Armageddon.

Yeah, shit happens. Guys botch hip tosses and arm drags, I've said that about ten times throughout this thread, but jumping forward off the top rope is probably, quite frankly, less excuseable to botch than those moves. I mean, if Jeff Hardy slipped, that's understandable. Slipping would result in Jeff Hardy probably hitting Carlito, though. This doesn't sound like a simple botched spot to me. It sounds like a major miscommunication, ala Matt having to call a spot ten times before Jeff listens to him, or Rico standing on the top rope for fifty seconds waiting for Jeff to remember his cue.

My fear is that this is a guy the WWE are going to turn into a main eventer before he is ready. Yes, he's improved in the ring, but the issue here is more whether his mind is in the right place. This was shades of old Jeff.

People fuck up, and this is definitely something that could be fucked up (more easily than alot of other moves--for example, a cutter, or a hip toss, which as previously mention get fucked up with minimal brick shitting).
Well, look at it this way: If a WWE ring is 20 feet along, and Jeff is about 6 foot, and he had to hit an opponent who was lying in the first half of the ring, and they are about two feet wide, then logistically (and these are all generalisations), Jeff's only problem with the move should be actually rotating on it. Gravity should do the rest. I mean, the end result could be a pretty weak looking move, or a pissed off wrestler in the back if Jeff Hardy's foot goes into his crotch, but for Jeff Hardy to completely miss? Come on, in a sick way, that is funny. It's like he did everything but a Swanton Bomb.

And when a move like the hip toss or ace crusher is fucked up, there is usually brick shitting on here. This is the first time I've done it, just because I see the dark humor in Jeff fucking up this close to his push.

It would probably be possible to miss, but it would look more ridiculous, and to me, makes less sense than other botches. Dropping a guy in a power type move, because your muscles give out, or because the guy is slippery you don't quite get him over for a hip toss...that makes sense to me. Jeff might have had heat exhaustion, or been knocked for a loop, and probably had jet lag for his flight. I'd be easy to forgive him for having a horrible match (as all of that card will probably be), but there is so little room to miss a Swanton Bomb to me. Maybe I'm wrong to assume so, but I thought the biggest risk of doing a Swanton Bomb would be tripping and botching the move. Maybe that is what happened, and the report is inaccurate, and hit and miss just refer to the quality of the move?

The more I think about it, the more I can imagine Jeff Hardy tripping out and missing the guy he is meant to hit, but you're making it sound like it's easy to do. I think it would be much harder to miss a Swanton than to hit it.

And the "Jeff Hardy did drugs" thing is not as valid to me as the "Jeff Hardy has never been a wrestler's wrestler" one. When Shelton Benjamin botched, a lot of people blamed Shelton, and then claimed it got into his head. I can see the same thing happening with Hardy. I mean, judging by Dorkchop's post, it might have. Jeff Hardy has a lot of good will going towards him these days, to fuck it up because he goes back to his sloppy ways is not something he should do. Everyone makes mistakes, but Jeff moreso than most people in the business (both professionally and personally). Eventually you have to draw the line and call the guy unreliable.

Actually, by all accounts so did Randy Orton.

The point isn't the drugs, either. The point is his past as an unreliable and sloppy worker. As I said, wait and see to decide whether or not it's a trend. I did not see the Ladder Match, how did that go? I read it was quite decent, but then again Jeff apparently nearly fucked the Swanton again.

ROFL, how the hell does Jeff do this TWICE?

I'm thinking it may be a set up for an angle on the Iraq, but that's a rediculous long shot. Jeff fucked up (assumed to be) exactly the same way twice.

That's all he really did though. Just overshot Carlito. Quite easy to do when you're Jeff Hardy.

Bet HHH will expect a picture perfect Swanton though.

I just took on burden of proof in an argument about whether or not I take on burden of proof. Thank you, and triple shut the fuck up.

So they blamed Jericho for low ratings without saying he had a negative effect on ratings?

What.

What the fuck are you trying to say? That they blamed Jericho unintentionally? That they blamed him without realizing it? They didn't blame Jericho for the ratings. Period. Ratings dropped and Jericho didn't stop them, and that's all that was said. Period. You're contradicting yourself in your own fucking paragraphs now. At no point in either of those examples did they state that Jericho negatively affected ratings--BDC has clarified since that he wanted that to happen, but has never said anything about Jericho actually doing it. KK has clarified that you're completely wrong, and just read too much into it. How the fuck much more do you need to be proven wrong before you'll accept that you're wrong? The people you quote have stated that you misinterpreted it, and I myself said you misinterpreted it. Do you need Jesus Christ himself to tell you that you misinterpreted it before you'll accept it? Fuck.

Because that argument and this one have nothing to do with each other in terms of actual topic? You being capable of doing a swanton is relevant to you claiming they're easy to do. Quadruple shut the fuck up. The whole "It's so easy that something's wrong if he can't do it, but I can't do it" thing is very stereotypical armchair booker-smark of you. Also, the fact that you're trying to dig up what I did in old arguments and discredit my actual ability to make a point, rather than just sticking to addressing my points, is a rather weak tactic on your part. Again, the fact that you try and drag the person in, rather than just dealing with the argument, makes me think you invest a little too much into forum debates.

And medical malpractice suits are at their most popular right now. Doctors fuck up even relatively simple medical procedures. I've heard horror stories of X-Rays getting turned around. It happens. It doesn't ruin a doctor's career, it just costs them a little cash. Wrestlers fuck up moves. It happens.

Except that it's mildly debatable whose fault it was, and it's by no means an indication that he's on death watch or in danger of losing his push. Unless you were there, of course. Or the type to completely buy into the word of a couple of dirtsheets.

Oh wait.

If you think a hiptoss is easier to botch than a swanton, you have obviously never learned fuck shit all in terms of professional wrestling. Again, armchair booker uneducated bullshit. I could hiptoss somebody and not actually do anything. I could just fucking stand there. Guys still botch the giving, theoretically just standing there end of the hiptoss. The more you go on about how much you "know" about wrestling moves, the less competent you come off as.

Spoken like a true optimist. No, Alienoid, fucking up does not usually lead to winning. Trip, and you'll probably lose the race. Slip off the brake, and the car will probably not stop on its own. Mistakes can and often do lead to failure. Omgomgomg. For every one way to hit a target, there's forty bajillion ways to miss it. If he slipped, well... he slipped. And missed.

How? Based on what? The fact that slipping couldn't possibly make him miss? It sounds like an elaborate situation because you want it to. It could plausibly be a fucking work for all we know. Very plausibly. It could plausibly be Carlito's fault. Very plausibly.

Of course. He missed a swanton. We should clearly re-evaluate how ready he is for the main event. Shades of old Jeff. Old stoner Jeff missed swantons all the times.

Oh, wait.

I'm going to wait and see, but if he's missed it twice in a row, I'm thinking they're either playing off of the first fuck up and making it a work, or it's been a work since the start.

Not making my call yet, though.

Wait, I just realized something. How the fuck would I have burden of proof anyhow?

DO YOU WANT ME TO PROVE THAT SWANTONS ARE VERY BOTCHABLE?




Fuck a duck. The refutable statement was your's in the first place. I've been in the ring. I've taken the classes. I can tell you from experience that no, nailing a swanton isn't as easy as a hiptoss, cutter, boot, etc. You, with no experience (very obviously so) and theoretical logistics are claiming it is easy. Do you not know how burden of proof works?

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
