This may seem a pointless post to you all but... You know when wrestler irish whip's their opponent into the ropes, why do they always dive on the floor infront of their feet as they're just coming off the ropes? only to have the jump over them? like, it happens all the time and i dont get the point of it?  |

To try to trip them.

I always knew it was an attempt to trip them, but has anyone actually ever seen the person trip?

Not an attempt to trip them.
For the running wrestler to "gain momentum" by traveling further.
Or the throwing wrestler needs more time or space to set up a move.
Wrestling physics are odd.

That's an interesting question I'd love to ask an old school wrestler who might have a better idea. I'm guessing, yeah, it's just to set up more time/space for the move.

i think it's one of those old spots that just looked good, and got the crowd going so it's been kept. that and the leapfrog over are in the same category.
i've always enjoyed it.

I thought it was one of those psychological deals.

Or Ric Flair going to the top rope, only to get thrown off every time. I like to think that if he ever got to pull a move that it would be a 450. |

It's to make them focus on not tripping over the other wrestler so on rebound, the wrestler that dropped back has more of a mental advantage at a possible offensive move. Basically, it's a distraction.

yeah it happens a lot in wrestling in regards to other moves (such as the ric flair and goldust thing ^) but thats just for show. this one is something i couldnt explain but i think the best answer i got was probably to set up more time for the move... thats the best one i can think of. |

I like to think that if he ever got to pull a move that it would be a 450. I saw him pull off a top rope move once. It was a double axe handle. In fact, at that point, it was the only time I'd ever seen anyone successfully pull off a top rope double axe handle. And as far as the question at hand goes...I thought it was to avoid getting run into. |

Why would you actually bounce off the ropes via an Irish whip?
