Better Rumble Elimination save?

[Ruthless-RKO]

In your humbly esteemed opinion, which one was the more impressive?

Also do you think we'll see another impressive save this year from somebody?

 

[FifekPL]

Actually, I prefer John Morrison's jump. For me, it looks more difficult than Kofi's handstand. This year? Maybe someone will jump on the announcer's table? Who knows.

Kofi's was impressive, but nothing a 14 year old in gymnastics couldn't do. Morrison's BY FAR was the better spot and showed more athleticism, power and agility.

I prefer JoMo as it took more balance and agility.

And this year, I do...I'm guessing someone could hop around on one foot for a whole (Tyson Kidd maybe) or, if a steel chair/other weapons/debris are "accidentally" left at ring side, watch someone jump to them.

Another idea would be to have someone eliminate Brodus Clay, Tensai and Khali at the same time in quick succession (Perhaps Ryback) then have a Tyson Kidd get thrown out of the ring but onto the three of them so he's not touching the floor, have one of those three pick Kidd up and throw him back into the ring so he never touches the floor.

Kidd could then eliminate that heel (Perhaps Cesaro) and start a mini feud with him

How about HBK hanging on for dear life in the 95 Rumble only letting one foot touch before getting back in the ring and eliminating Davey Boy. Shawn saved himself from elimination before it became something we look for each year. Ok that aside I preferred John Morrison's. I think it took a lot more balance and agility to do what he did. Kofi's was cool, but it just didn't seem as athletically impressive than Morrison's save. I could see Kofi doing something like that again this year, or like other have said maybe Tyson Kidd does something to save himself from elimination. It is always cool to see someone go out only for them to surprise us and hold off elimination by some athletic feat.

I'd agree with HBsam31. HBK's in '95 was probably the most dramatic save. It was the last elimination giving the British Bulldog the win, or so he thought, and so the fans tought. Just for Shawn to skin the cat back into the ring and dump Bulldog over the top for the win.

BUT.... Out of the two mentioned, John Morrison by far. I liked both, but Morrisons was hands down just more thrilling.

 

[Brewski]

The Rock did the same thing to win the rumble in 2000 but big show flew out over him, It later was revealed his feet did touch the ground though. I always thought that was dramatic.

While Morrison's was way harder and more athletic I thought Kofi's looked cooler. He got my vote.

 

[Da Solo]

I'm gonna go with Kofi's. No disrespect to Morrison, as his was indeed hard and probably prettier out of the two, but Kofi's, to me, was legit harder to pull off. JoMo required incredible leaping ability and balance, sure, but had Miz pushed any less or more harder, the spot would have been ruined, so Kofi really had to adjust to however Miz pushed him. Plus, I've jumped far before, no biggie, but I could never handstand longer than two seconds, so Kofi gets my respect.

As for this year, I'm expecting Sin Cara or a returning Shelton Benjamin to pull off a massive spot this year. I don't know what it is yet, but I have a feeling that this hyper-athletic spot is going to be RR tradition now.

 

[Boourns]

Here's my guess for a spot prompted by the past two week's television: Dolph Ziggler will at some point be thrown over the top by someone like Ryback or Khali etc, only to be caught by Big E. Langston - His feet don't touch the floor and Langston just places Ziggler either back into the ring or on the announce table/near by chair if he wants to wait until the final four (for example) to get an easy ride back in. Another could be someone getting powerbombed to the outside or something similar and just leaving their legs in the air after taking the bump so they never hit the ground they could just be put back in by a tag partner or they could shuffle shamelessly on their arse to the steel steps...

Oh, and I think Morrison's jump was better.

 

[ratedrko789]

Morrisons was just way more athletic,and it also made me jump outta my seat watching that Rumble moment, as Kofis just made me say wow,but alot of people can do handstands.

As for this year,I can see Dolph Ziggler doing something crazy like landing on the announce table and jumping back onto the apron without his feet hitting the floor.

 

[ciaran1]

john morrisons spider man as it seems alot harder to do and it makes him look like a comic hero

 

[boozinjedi]

I can't remember the year,BUT I do remember Rey Mysterio one time "hopscotching" on the backs of eliminated wrestlers to save himself.

 

[UltimateHitman]

I have to agree with the masses and say Morrison's save was better.

I saw somebody say on here that they've "jumped far" before. That's all well and good, but you're forgetting the beginning of that move.

To grab the ringside barricade just right and to be able to hold yourself on the side of it all crunched up like that with barely any room is hella impressive. You have to have timing, strength, and agility to perform the initial "save".

Yes, afterwards, he walked along the barricade and just jumped to the steps. But the beginning was the super impressive part. Plus, it's not even that easy to jump onto something like steps from that distance. A lot of things can go wrong in a shift of an inch or two or a second or two off in timing.

Handstands, while I admit I cannot do them nor walk on my hands, are a lot more common. I've seen kids goofing around that do it, and I'm sure more than a handful of WWE talents over the years could have done it also.

Sorry, Kofi, Morrison's got you beat.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

If it's just feet, couldn't you lay on your back and just keep your feet up?

I think Morrison's was a lot harder in this instance. Although I'd think a fairly large portion of the population could do either. I know tons of people who do handstands and do flips on and off of shit that could do either.

I'd like to see someone do one of those horizontal pole stands.
