How many current WWE could do flippy shit but just choose not to?
Vader could do the moonsault.
It's not something unique to vader either. All big men could do most of the top rope shit, and a few may be able to do the standing shit. It's just the big men "save" stuff for the smaller guys as a sign of good faith. Nash tells a story about something like that where hall chastised him a bit for not wrestling more like a big man.
Big Show used to do flippyshit but now his knees are about to explode
they cant
vince works them to the bone 350+ days a year so they cant risk getting injured
thats why they wrestle the boring wwe style
Seth used to do a lot of flips in the past, he's toned it down a lot because of his injuries. Brock is probably still capable of doing flips, he's just lazy and doesn't want to fuck his neck up doing a shooting star press again.

Are you seriously trying to whiteknight for WWE working its dudes 300 nights a year?
That's gonna shreds somebody's body so much worse than any indie-style wrestling bumps ever will.
>>2809194
probably Ceasaro
>>2809194
Ziggler has the body for it I think
>>2809275
Orton has like 20 concussions
>>2809224
He could barely even get on the top rope 20 years ago, when did he ever flip
>>2809275
if football players would play a softer more boring style and not tackle then their careers would last longer and they wouldn't have any concussions
But it would make the product shitty and less people would watch

He did a few times in WCW. Nash was finally the person to say "nah bro, that's crazy" And they eventually phased it out.

Cien Almas only does that double moonsault spot (rarely), but he can be on the same league as Gran Metalik when it comes to flippy shit.

Wrong.
There are guys in Mexico who can wrestle well into their 70s because bumping in Mexico is done differently than in the states and is actually safer than what the WWE does, even if the rings are harder to bump on

You mean because they're all midgets who barely weigh a hundred and fifty pounds so they dont blow their knees out by doing shitty looking suicide dives every night
Also WWE trained wrestlers are notoriously bad at catching guys doing dives
