| Matt Engel vs Jake Jenkins (Rock Hard Wrestling) |
If you look at Matt Engel's anklelock, you'll see he's not really applying any pressure at all. He's just hugging Jake's ankle. If you look at Jake, you'd think he's in agony. This is a textbook example of "selling" in pro wrestling.
Guys who understand selling like Jake don't come along too often, so I thought I'd celebrate him today.
See my original review here.
Great example. I always appreciate it when underground wrestlers and amateur pro wrestlers have really picked up some of the professional's tricks. When they get all the way up to being able to sell a punch, that's really something to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThanks. You always hear old school fans say "selling is a lost art". I tend to agree with that sentiment.
