How many separate threads need to be posted about this? I think the other 20 were enough

No, this one will be completely different....

Direct quotes from the guy Gilman attempted his illegal slam on. 

[stp 544]

Gilman is a punk. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That should help get this thread in a different direction .

That blank look of disbelief he went through that and gilman got a point, was hilarious.

[BigRedMachine 210]

If he doesn't want to get hurt, he should stop slamming himself.

[AKHUNTER 290]

the "self slam" should be worth 3 at least.

Attempted?!? I'd say he was pretty successful.

And on top of that, you are still a douche.....

My feelings are hurt.

My favorite slam is Denny's grand slam breakfast. And that one is a legal slam.

[fudge_tunnel 107]

Best slam ever...

You need to try and protect yourself at all times if you have the legs in and are just hanging on you had better know right or wrong(Gilman was wrong) that it a possibility of what may happen.

[scribe 1,655]

This Gilman slam really makes anything fair game, with that level of officiating.

[Jaroslav Hasek 1,890]

i think it would be great if when the bottom man stands up and the top man can't bring him back to the mat they call stalemate but then award the 1 escape and restart in neutral. same as if they walk out of bounds. i dont think becoming a human backpack or doing the conga are wrestling skills we should encourage.

0:36-0:42 will never get old.

The element that is missing from this convo is that Waters is a punk too.....

This is foolishness. A guy can punch you in the face if he wants. Should wrestlers be trying to protect themselves from that as well? The reason we have rules is so that both competitors know what to expect and what is permissible. If one guy goes outside the rules, it's not on his opponent to always be ready for that. When Billy George kneed that guy in the head, should his opponent been aware that could happen and tried to protect himself from a blatantly reckless action? Of course not.

[Alwayswrestling 195]

Not even close to the same thing and if you think so I can not try to explain the difference.

[IronChef 756]

It's not identical but close enough. It is not the responsibility of a wrestler to protect himself from dangerous illegal techniques.

It's missing because it's baseless...

Actually, I insist on a light breakfast.

 

Yours in wrestling,
