I get asked quite frequently, "What is the worst bump you've ever taken?". Now, for those of you that don't know what a bump in pro wrestling is, it's when you fall down. There are various types of bumps (back bumps, front bumps, etc). I'll talk about the worst bump I've ever taken at some point, but today I'll talk about my LEAST FAVORITE bump to take....The Chokeslam bump.
I jumped so high I left the screen. Maybe that was the problem?
It's a great move that looks devastating. No offense to The Undertaker, Kane, The Big Show, 911 or anyone else that does the move but for the love of all that is holy and sacred on this beautiful planet earth, I HATE THIS FUCKING BUMP. I cannot stress enough how much I hate this bump. Every single time I would take a chokeslam the following things would happen. I'd splat on the mat as Jerry Lynn would say, like a 'dropped pie', I'd get the wind knocked out of me. And the worst part, I'd bounce my head off the mat. This doesn't happen to everyone, and I know people who love taking chokeslams but man they killed me every time.
When I watch most people taking chokeslams, they kind of bounce. I splat. Maybe I always took it wrong. You can see in the video below what I mean. Let me know what you all think.
