Response to a comment from JV's 09/08 Raw Review

In JV's Raw Review he said that the botched table spot with La Resistance was totally LR's fault. That is just not accurate. If anybody is at fault it was Spike. He should have tucked his legs so that they cleared the top rope. You need to realise how tall LR would have to be to complete that move. By Spike keeping his legs extended LR did not have enough height to clear the tope rope.

They looked very concerned though, Rene in particular. He looked like he wanted to break character and go over to Spike.

It was just an accident and I don't want to blame anyone but I didn't want people thinking it was LR's fault. They did everything they could to make sure that spot worked.

I disagree. It would have been one thing for Spike's legs to get tangled in the ropes, after which he would have probably fallen straight down, probably clipping the apron on the way. But he more or less cleared the ropes, and when you consider his body weight and the fact that two strong, decent sized guys were delivering the move, there was no reason for them to undershoot the table. But that's what they did. They didn't throw him hard or far enough, and Spike subsequently missed the table. The fault lied with La Resistance, who incidentally, have taken responsibility for it.

Watch the tape again if you have it. You can see his feet do not clear the ropes. La Resistance gave him a good shove to make sure he hit the table but they must not have realised his feet didn't clear the top rope. If Spike had tucked his legs he would have hit the table no problem. But it's nice to see they are being professional about it.

here is the link right here to see Spike getting tossed from the ring if anyone missed it.

I hadnt seen it till just now and damn......that had to have hurt. In my opinion La Resistance is completely to blame and it is good to know they took full responsibility like men for their misfire of poor Spike. That dude puts his small little frame on the line way to often. But its probably the only way Vince will keep giving him a paycheck. ???
