I love when a pro wrestler gives their opponent a little rub/touch after a big move to make sure they're okay/tell the other wrestler they're okay. Especially if the move was sloppy or not executed perfectly.

It's also great when a more established wrestler wins over a young up-and-comer and gives them a tap/rub/tickle/kiss after the pin to let them know they did a good job and had a good match.

    Along these lines, one of my absolute favorite wrestling moments in recent history is:

    At AEW Revolution 2020 during the Tag Team Championship match when Kenny kicked out at 1 after the Bucks had the audacity to give him a Golden Trigger. My favorite kick out at 1 of all time.

      Watching the Misawa vs Kobashi match in NOAH is like watching a war between two old gunslingers. Sooner or later, one of them is going to go down, and he's not coming back up. It rules.

        I really need to watch more NOAH/AJPW matches.

          Here's the NOAH match. Check out the rest of the channel, it's so good. I usually just hit play on a random video and i won't be able to leave my seat. Another match i'd suggest is Kobashi vs Samoa Joe in ROH and Terry Funk vs Cactus Jack in either FMW or W*ING (i can't remember which).
