Most people don't even recognize the dreaded "drop down" as an offensive move. It seems to come across more as a part of the routine you get when guys are running the ropes. It's just guys going through the motions to get to a specific spot.
But the "drop down" is indeed a move. Isn't it? You send a guy to the ropes, run after him, and then drop down flat on your stomach when he comes back off the ropes in an attempt to "trip him." This move has done by almost everyone, thousands and thousands and thousands of times. Has it ever actually worked?
I've been watching wrestling since 1985. I don't know if I've ever actually seen two guys play out a successful drop down/trip that wasn't a botch. Was the drop down ever actually used by someone as a part of their move set? Or has it always just been apart of the routine to add the athleticism?
Thoughts?
