Yeah, but at the same time, consider the hardcore indy fans such as myself who have been following guys like Ricochet for nearly a decade in a
plethora of promotions, and they aren't just "some guy under 6'0" to us. We have watched guys like him grow from being a sloppy flippy
guy with potential to a guy we have seen completely define high-flying.
My apology for the poor explanation here. I meant "some guy" as "some guy that maybe be an exceptional athlete with tons of fans, but he's
still just a man"... Hogan at his peak was the biggest icon in wrestling. A literally hulking mountain of a man with the ability to over come all.
His true move wasn't the slam or the leg drop. It was the no sell hulk up. It wasn't his strength that won him the match, it was the heart
and soul and toughness of the character... a character that drew this ability from the cheering fans. This is not just some guy. He's
practically magical.
Then we have someone like Lesnar. He's not magical. He's simply won the genetic lottery. A true once in a lifetime specimen. He's
able to survive finishers because he's 300lbs of raging muscle and hate. He's like Superman if Supes was dumb jock with a mean streak. He
transcends the idea of being just some dude. You see this guy on the street and make sure not to look at him the wrong way.
Then we have someone like Undertaker. He's earned the right to no sell. At first it was just his undead gimmick and was more about his look and
presence than his strength or status. But over time he solidified himself as one of the greatest legends of all time. Being 7' 300lbs
doesn't hurt to in the "I don't have to sell your finisher" dept, coupled with the notion that he's always had this
superhuman/undead vibe.
So yea, compared to any of these guys and what they bring to the table, most everyone else is just some guy.
And don't get me wrong. It's fine when two rivals are able to kick out of each others finishers in a huge match. I can get behind that.
But this spot wasn't that. It was simply scripted as "you do a big move, then I no sell and do a bigger move"... It's not the same as
The Rock kicking out of a Stunner and attempting a Rock Bottom seconds later, or Cena kicking out of an RKO. It's just basically no selling big
spots and that's it.
