Maven: Chops Are One Of The Most Painful Moves In WWE, They Will Make You Believe
Maven talks about how painful it is to take chops in the wrestling ring.
While it is one of the most simplistic moves, chops are also one of the most painful maneuvers. Former WWE Superstar Maven talks all about taking chops in his latest YouTube video.
Reflecting on taking chops from both the Big Show and Ric Flair, Maven says that chops are a move that will truly make you believe in the authenticity of pro wrestling.
“Anytime someone says wrestling is fake, let them take a chop. Let them take a chop from Gunther, let them take a chop from Big Show,” he said. “Big Show chopped me one time and I had his entire handprint on me. Basically, a chop is just a snack and it will, if you take enough of them, open up the skin. It will actually cut you. It will make you believe.
“I remember wrestling Ric [Flair]. Ric would chop me and you would hear, ‘Wooooo!’ and everybody getting excited and then they would kind of be quiet because they knew another one was coming. If you heard that crisp clap sound, you knew that it was painful… Chops are one of the most painful moves in WWE.
