On a recent episode of E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness, Edge and Christian participated in a fan Q&A session. Among other topics of discussion, Edge and Christian talked about which wrestling moves were more painful than they seemed.
Christian talked about a memorable bump that he suffered at the hands of Goldberg.
“How did it feel? Well, it was there! And I think it was one of those ones where obviously he brought the spear and I’d like to think that I took pretty good bumps. So it was one of those ones where I turned around into it, he was already moving at such a fast pace, so when I stepped into it we met at the exact right time. And yeah, it was there and I felt it. But, I mean, it was just two pros doing what they do. And yeah, I was fine, and it was great, and the reaction says it all.” Christian added, “that’s how it was supposed to be.”
When they were asked what moves hurt more than they seemed, Edge said a badly executed bodyslam.
“I can tell you one off the top of my head and it all depends on the person executing it and you’re basically left up to how they execute it. And it sounds simple and it sounds crazy, but a bodyslam because if they over-rotate you or they can drop you on the top of your shoulders and it’s all up to the person doing it. I remember I took one from Big Show and he’s so damn tall, right? And I hit a little bit feet first, which then caused me to hit lower back. My entire back seized up. I remember I rolled out of the ring and I couldn’t lift my feet! And it was a no-DQ match. [Shudders] It was weird.”
Christian picked a monkey flip, either taking or giving as the move that hurt more than it seems.
“This sounds weird too, but a monkey flip can be the same way, right?” Christian asked. “I remember I had a hard time when I was wrestling training and I took a lot of pride that I picked it up really, really fast, but I always had a hard time first of all giving monkey flips because I would always come down and slam my lower back and I got this bruise and we kept working on monkey flips and it always hurt me so bad. And I remember taking monkey flips too, and if you get over-rotated on that, you can kind of snap your head forward in a little bit of a whiplash motion, right? And if you don’t get thrown far enough, you can land on your shoulder blades first and then kind of come back on your lower back and feet, so there’s that too. Sometimes, with that too, it kind of depends on how hard the person is pushing you off with their legs.”
