A Scorpion Death Drop happens when a
wrestler applies an inverted facelock then falls backwards to slam the opponent’s
head into the mat.
Basically
it’s an Inverted DDT.
This
is a devastating move especially when it is initiated with a scoop lift.
However,
doing it with barely 90 seconds in
the match?
It
kind of looks like a normal-looking move... and it deserves to have a fan
reaction of a normal-looking move.
This
is Sting’s finisher. At 51, he is TNA’s World Heavyweight Champion. He
won the title on March 3 against Jeff Hardy.
This
is not a Sting blog but a Jeff Hardy blog.
Jeff
Hardy was supposed to wrestle Sting at Victory
Road 2011 to reclaim his Heavyweight Title. Unfortunately he came to the
arena STONED. Yes... Hardy was STONED. Sting reportedly opposed the idea of facing
Hardy in a match. What wonders could Hardy unearth in Sting’s 50-year-old body
with a sloppy Whisper of the Wind, Twist
of Fate (I refuse to call it Twist
of Hate), or Reverse of Fate.
Face
it. There is a reason why pro wrestling is scripted. If they do all those moves
every single week, they are lucky to live in their 40’s. Owen Hart almost ended Stone
Cold Steve Austin’s career when he piledrove him to injure his neck. Unlike
those other wrestlers still working in their late 40’s, Austin can’t bump and
work in the ring ever because of recurring neck problems.
So
there is a valid reason for Sting’s non-willingness. He lasted too long in this
business because he knows better.
Jeff
Hardy needs to activate his senses.
Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit are examples of wrestlers who took too much and
suffered its consequences. Guerrero was an addict then and even when he was all
cleaned up, his heart eventually blew up from all the wear and tear. Benoit
took a lot of steroids and painkillers and that caused him to eventually go
nuts and unleash hell on earth on his family. Hardy allegedly traffics drugs
and at the same time uses it.
That’s
just messed up.
Their
individual entrances, Jeremy Borash’s
introductions, and Eric Bischoff’s interference
lasted longer than the match.
I feel
sad for the fans. Their main event is not an event. I can’t blame TNA for this
travesty because for all we know, they have the event all worked out until Jeff
Hardy shows up midway and thinks he is in Narnia
talking to animals. Sting was visually pissed at the happenings because this is
not the way he wanted to main event.
If you
look at it, he was one of the reported opponents of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
Imagine how over will he be in the wrestling world if he debuts in Wrestlemania
and fights for Taker’s winning streak? Instead he is babysitting Hardy with a
bunch of not-so-epic hits and an eventual Scorpion Death Drop to end this
embarrassment.
Personally,
I’d have Hardy drop in the middle of the ring so that Sting can apply his Scorpion Death Lock (sharpshooter).
Have Hardy withstand it for at least a minute or so and pass out.
At
least Hardy wouldn’t job that crappily.
After
the event, TNA will impose a strict no-drug policy just like what the WWE has right now. This is good because
TNA is vigilant in enforcing safety to their wrestlers and the fans that pay
hard-earned dough to buy arena tickets and PPV coverage.
I am a
fan of Hardy. The Hardy Boyz was my favourite
tag team ever and I rooted for him when he feuded with The Undertaker, Triple H, and even with his
contemporaries like Edge, CM Punk, Rob
Van Dam, Rey Mysterio, Christian, and even his brother Matt Hardy. He needs to grow up though.
Either
he’ll end up in prison or end up dead.
Pick
your poison, Jeff.
You
can choose neither if you want to.
That’s
actually the smart answer.
Game
over.
