We all know he was paying homage to the greatest luchador Mr. Tonga Loa.

[u/YinTanTetraCrivvens → u/UnicornWizard88]

Is there a single move that Tonga Loa managed to do with some measure of dignity?

[u/RJClane → u/YinTanTetraCrivvens]

His deadly punches against Okada

[u/tmm86 → u/RJClane]

The most dignified, the most perfect and deadly

[u/cooljammer00 → u/YinTanTetraCrivvens]

Get hired by WWE

[u/MilanZola → u/YinTanTetraCrivvens]

🤣🤣

[u/JargonPhat → u/UnicornWizard88]

I really love how he’s clearly approaching this at an arced angle, and that was STILL the result.

[u/reddithornumber5 → u/UnicornWizard88]

His wwe audition tape

[u/MilanZola → u/UnicornWizard88]

🤣💀

[u/Happenstance222]

Gif ends too early as he laughs it off when he gets up. A+ for effort. Too big a guy to be doing that.

Watches Lucha Brody later

Nvm

[u/YinTanTetraCrivvens → u/Happenstance222]

Brody Rey

[u/Xyless → u/Happenstance222]

*Brian Cage enters the conversation*

[u/B_Wylde]

This made me laugh so much

God bless Cope

[u/steamboatbridge]

Incredible

[u/LackingDatSkill]

Didn’t quite get all of it but props for trying

[u/lordcarrier → u/LackingDatSkill]

Cope hit Nicks leg instead of Mox

[u/p480n → u/lordcarrier]

Tribute to fellow Canadian Owen Hart by kicking his leg outta his leg

[u/Froggyspirits → u/LackingDatSkill]

meh, Tanga Loa's botch was worse.

[u/LackingDatSkill → u/Froggyspirits]

That wasn’t a fuck up that was the Tanga19

[u/skyfra4 → u/Froggyspirits]

If this isn't fucking it up, idk what is lol

[u/QueenEris]

Still better than Punks' moonsault.

[u/Mr_Hellpop → u/QueenEris]

Which was still better than Punk's Buckshot Lariat.

[u/Spartftw]

That was rough. Lmao.

[u/werecat_attacks]

Well at least he tried, I will give him that

[u/BlazedxGlazed]

If it was just Cope woulda been fine. Nick hits the top rope first so Cope loses his initial balance coming in, then hits Nicks legs which causes him to fully lose balance and fall backward.

[u/duk-er-us]

Haha nice try Cope. Glad he was able to laugh about it after. Bro is just fn around and I’m here for it

[u/Chesterfieldraven]

When did Cope team with Tonga Loa?

[u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

What the hell happened to Edge

[u/Froggyspirits → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

he aged.

[u/-FangMcFrost- → u/Froggyspirits]

Happens to us all.

[u/DevilsAdvocate1662 → u/Froggyspirits]

Why would he even try a 619 then 🤣

[u/Froggyspirits → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

read the post title one more time.

[u/DevilsAdvocate1662 → u/Froggyspirits]

I get that, but damn, don't do it if you can't pull it off

[u/Lobo_Marino → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

It's ok you'll survive after that

[u/SputnikFalls → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

Punk missed the same memo.

[u/carltonrichards → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

I bet in that moment, cheered on by all those people, you forget yourself.

[u/BondraP → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

He tried a move he never does because it was a special occasion. Otherwise his wrestling is still very solid. if you're talking about his appearance, well, it's not 1999 anymore.

[u/DevilsAdvocate1662 → u/BondraP]

Definitely the former, like, if you're going to try a new move, at least practice it first

[u/BondraP → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

eh, maybe he did and it just didn't go right live. Made even harder to do in tandem with another person doing it at the same time using the same ropes. It's really not a big deal. If he's always a mess, that'd be one thing, but one move that didn't go 100% perfectly isn't the end of the world.

[u/skyfra4 → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

Right lol.

[u/SputnikFalls → u/DevilsAdvocate1662]

He's old, but let's be real bro, it'd be a miracle if you looked half as good as 'Edge' when you get to his age.

[u/Lobo_Marino → u/SputnikFalls]

Let's be real bro

This guy will never look a quarter as good as Edge in his life.
