and to piggyback on myself(?), those short promos nearly every entrant did for the Royal Rumble with said theme running in the background

Whenever Jesse Ventura got on Vince McMahon's case (c'mon MCMAHON!!!!)

Fat guys doing cruiserweight things (BBB 's cartwheel, Vadersault!)

Fans chanting USA against a guy who is from the USA portraying a foreigner

Streamers in matches from Japan and the Road Warriors utter distain for them

Toshiaki Kawada's dick move of assaulting people on the apron (surely an inspiration for KENTA)

The Bret Hart face, he's selling exhaustion people

Short elbows and short clotheslines (ie Jake Roberts, Great Muta, Paul Orndorff) they looked way more impactful

Add one to the moonsault lovers camp. Doesn't even have to be a good moonsault. I pop for any moonsault.

Dropkicks too, but I am more discerning for dropkicks than moonsaults. They have to be either a really great aesthetic dropkick (Okada, BOBCORE, Randy Orton), or a brutal "launch my feet into their face" dropkick (Minoru Suzuki).

Missile dropkicks are great too. Chris Jericho style, not Brian Danielson style.

Mike Knox's running crossbody.

If you ain't cheating you ain't trying! It doesn't make you better, it makes you dumber!

When a wrestler yells their own name before hitting a move. Extremely rare, but when I hear it, I pop.

Recently saw Aussie Open's Kyle Fletcher scream "KYLE FLETCHER!" as he ran to hit a flying kick move. Trent Barreta had a phase of doing it when he was in WWE and I popped every time.

Roman Reigns' OOOOHHH AAAAHHHH



Especially in recent years when the entire crowd does it with him. What is pro-wrestling, if not an arena full of people making some sort of tribal gorilla cry?
