You bring up the the belly to belly. Because i i guess shane. Douglas used a few years ago. But it was like a standing belly to belly. I never understood why no one did the the weapon the ropes and then the belly to belly like you did that. Seemed like a like a move that you could do out of. It seemed to have all of the the criteria. You want an exciting finish. It can come out of nowhere can be decisive. I is that move particularly difficult when it's whip off the road because it doesn't seem like a lotta people picked it up After your career. I mean to me it was very natural thing to do And and i actually did it to somebody in the ring when i was a rookie breaking in and and I had a guy. It was reading her that i was and really know what he was doing. It the rank. And i got so frustrated with him. That could get him to do anything. I just grabbed him and him but like right out of his boots and i realized that i have That's where straight chatter world by lower back fully ability about wrestling mat. Grabbed this game here ability to do that. Move to anybody whether they wanted to go. Didn't want to go didn't matter. I could do it. So i got a put that in on your future use that prevents because basically you're finished you've gotta be an excuse anybody at anytime anywhere and that was something.
