In a recent segment on a popular conservative news channel, viewers were treated to a thrilling (and somewhat perplexing) display of athleticism involving none other than journalist Kennedy Blade. The segment featured a rather brave participant who decided to take on the challenge of performing a suplex. Now, for those who might not be familiar, a suplex is a wrestling move that involves lifting an opponent off the ground and flipping them backward. While the move may look impressive on screen, it’s certainly not for the faint of heart!
Our brave volunteer, who felt like he had just been “pulverized” after the experience, took on the challenge with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. He approached Kennedy, asking her to help him out with this extreme stunt. Describing her as a “true professional” and “the kindest soul” he had ever met, he highlighted the strong rapport they shared, which made this wild ride possible. In this instance, however, it was enthusiasm that led him to dive headfirst into an adrenaline-pumping escapade rather than practical knowledge about how to execute a suplex safely.
As the preparations unfolded, he received advice on how to best position himself for the landing. The instructions were clear: “Tuck your chin.” But when it comes to trusting someone to flip you high into the air, one can’t help but wonder if they would be landing on their back or stomach. Spoiler alert: the landing was not quite as expected. He ended up finding himself sprawled out, with a whole lot of disorientation and not a little bit of surprise at the experience. It’s safe to say that his first encounter with a suplex was one for the books.
One can only imagine the internal dialogue racing through his mind as he was being hoisted into the air, probably feeling like he was dangling from a skyscraper. While he had bravely done his homework by watching videos about the suplex beforehand, nothing could quite prepare him for the sensation of actually flipping through the air. Imagine the wild blend of exhilaration and utter confusion as he sailed toward the ground, wondering just how things had escalated so quickly.
In the end, the experience served as a lesson not just in physics and body maneuvering, but also in camaraderie and trust in a friend—or, in this case, a professional wrestler. Kennedy might usually be lifting people shorter than her, but this did not stop the duo from attempting something spontaneous and humorous. It’s a reminder that stepping out of one’s comfort zone can lead to some hilarious adventures. So next time someone suggests flipping you into the air for fun, just remember to ask a few more questions—or maybe practice some yoga first!
