#3 Worst: Too many Kickouts?
Ad
Baszler kicking out of the InSane Elbow was criminal
I guess kicking out of the finisher is a trait of modern wrestling. I had a chance to speak to Jake the Snake Roberts not long ago, and he told me that every time you kick out of a finisher, you make the move absolutely meaningless. This happened both during the opening contest, as well as the Tag Team title match. The Undisputed ERA kicked out of both the Tyler Driver and the Seven Star Lariat.
This was a pet peeve during an otherwise awesome show.
