It's a risky spot for the elite men, now imagine Charlotte and Sasha trying to do it.... those two are probably less coordinated than most of the midcard...
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
Jesus Christ if this is true... they can barely string together normal moves without a life threatening botch every other move and they want to try this shit? Definitely not watching this match. Someone is going to end up paralysed or dead.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
Good. Based on how that top rope spot went in the womens title match a couple weeks ago, this could have spelled disaster. I know the women want to steal the show, but I don't think they will let the women do much. It will be a safe match with 2 top notch spots at the most.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
The inevitable outcome. Note... Sasha is under Charlotte. Lol. Seriously though... in moonsaults you typically land on your feet or knees if you underrotate to land on your front(like that famous Angle-sault from the top of the steel cage), which doesn't work from 20 feet up as you'll smoke your feet and ankles from the impact(ask Cornette). How on earth would they make that safe? Were they just ribbing Vince?
But the shitty person in me wants to see it. If it goes perfect great but I want to see if she hurts herself, Sasha, or both. Though that's a weird spot for a heel.
*moonsaults off cell* aren't I a terrible person who's lesser than Sasha that you just want to be fans.

Even though if successful it would be fucking amazing and will definitely steal the show its simply way too dangerous of a move try on the HIAC good call on Vince. props for Charlotte though for wanting to go all out.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
I have no doubt that she could land it in the right position. Just not sure how accurate she could be at landing in the right spot where there would be a padded table like with Shane. Hell, from that height she might could pull off two back flips, but the margin for error is just too slim to risk that. I pray she doesn't do it. Even if she proved she could do it over and over again in practice there's no way Vince would let her outshine Shane like that anyways, though. Then there's also the fact that her corkscrew moonsault overshadowed Sasha's title win. Can't have that again.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
What the fuck. Shane's free fall onto a heavily padded table was one thing, but doing a flip from the top? I can't see any way where that wouldn't end badly. Almost guaranteed to over-rotate and fuck herself up, let alone what could happen to Sasha, having Charlotte come down with that kind of velocity and force.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
He saved her life. This further highlights what's wrong with the business today, though. She's a heel. Why are you itching to pull off Jeff Hardy esq, babyface stunts?
Rhetorical question.
You're fishing for the pop and trying to outdo the men and women who wrestled before you that night instead of actually working as a heel as you should be. Because "women's revolution" and the need for twenty seconds of "This is awesome," chants from a crowd that only grows more and more densitized to your spots the more you abuse them at the risk of your health.
There is literally no rationale for her wanting to risk it all for that spot.
Exactly, i have no issue in believing Charlotte could nail the move successfully
sasha catching her is completely different though shes tiny, unless they did the spot but with dana, bayley and sasha to catch her
If the spot went ahead and it worked perfectly, then Charlotte would be one of my all time favourite wrestlers for doing that, Much respect for her to bring up that idea with Vince and being ballsy enough to do it.
Re: Vince reportedly turned Down Charlotte's Request To Do A Moonsault From The Top of The Cell
Probably bullshit. I can't see there being anyone in the business who is stupid enough to think they could/should do a moonsault off a cell.
