100th POST!

To Celebrate the glorious occasion of this being BJJardo's 100th post, we thought we'd share a fun story. Now, we all know that Mixed Martial Arts is becoming more mainstream than ever before.

We have seen an MMA episode in animated show The Simpsons, as well as 'The Iceman' Chuck Liddell's appearance on Showtime's Entourage. Now, we will have one more to add to the list, Professional Wrestling:

Normally we would be all for this kind of thing, but when your technique is about as realistic as this, we have to call you out on it.

Let's take a look. First, there's a sledge hammer involved. So if you weren't fully in to this article, you should be now.

To start it off, the Undertaker kicks him in the face as he goes for it. It's the beginning of a beautiful moment. From here, normally you would want to have your right leg around the person's left arm in this case. This restricts them from backing out, turning, or pushing your leg off. But in this case, the Undertaker completely forgets that point and simply pulls Triple H's neck so that basically, it is just leaning on the Undertaker's shin while Triple H's left arm is completely free.
