Looking for kick outs at 1 from finishers. Help appreciated!

So, the the title is pretty self-explanatory. I'm looking at doing a little project looking at what makes 1-counts work, and i obviously need quite a few to work with. I'm a relatively new fan so I don't know of a whooole lot, so any help (dates and/or show names are very appreciated) would help a bunch!

The ones I that I can name off the top of my head are: 1) Omega from the Bucks golden trigger. 2) Ibushi from a whole bunch of Boma Yes (can't remember the show, though). 3) Sooomeone from Walter in NXT UK. 4) Warrior from the pedigree at WrestleMania.

The most useful would be true kick outs at 1 from big moves that didn't really pop the crowd.

Thanks a bunch!

EDIT: Oh my lord! What a response! Thank you to everyone helping out!

McIntyre kicked out at 1 after Brock’s first F5 in the WM36 main event.

LLHatiOP•

Thank you! Would very much have missed that on my list, since I never got around to watching WM36 past the first half of the first night!

Kicking out at 1 was kinda McIntyre’s thing leading up to and during his first wwe championship reign.

LLHatiOP•

Ah! Might be worth going back and looking at a few of those matches then... Although it will be harder to read crowd reactions with Thunderdome crowds.

Ibushi Vs Nakamura, 2013 G1

The crowd is molten the whole match but at the end they fucking lose it

LLHatiOP•

YES! That was the one! I had it in my mind that it was at Dominion, but it's this one! Thank you so much, sir, madam or [gender-neutral alternative]!

I thought it was the WK9 match they had and when it wasn't had to find it! I remembered the pop/moment but took a while to narrow it down, ended up watching Shibata Vs Ishii because I thought it was that.

2
LLHatiOP•

I was pretty sure it wasn't WK9 since I watched that myself and didn't remember seeing that spot. (some odd streaming site that showed it live with a live chat function, an awesome way to watch my first NJPW PPV, fell in love with Naka and Ibushi that night)

Was it by chance TaimaTV? I think that's where I first got into NJPW.

Warrior wasn’t even pinned after the pedigree.

LLHatiOP•

...right you are, he got right back up before it got there! Thank you!

Man, today fans would bitch for days out how Triple H was totally fucking buried just so that young up and comer Warrior can get the rub.

I miss being able to enjoy wrestling.

1
LLHatiOP•

I mean... I am very much the kind of person who would bitch about it, but I do absolutely love wrestling, there are just different values at play nowadays.

(Plus I choose to avoid the bitchier parts of the IWC, it's better that way)

You sound like a reasonable fan.

Kenny Omega kicked out of the BTE trigger at one during the Omega/Hangman v Young Bucks match at Revolution.

LLHatiOP•

Yes, that's one of he few ones I actually know, since I'm such a MASSIVE AEW mark. gif

I thought he kicked out of the Golden Trigger

Either or innit? Same thing, shout a different thing.

I think Diesel kicked out of the Sweet Chin Music at 1 at WM XI

Thank you! Added to the list!

Michaels Diesel at Mania 11 after some chin music…

LLHatiOP•

Thank you! I think I that was mentioned already, but It's nice to hear it from 2 people so that I know it wasn't just someone misremembering!

I think Kagetsu kicked out from Mayu Iwatani's moonsault at 1 in their last ever one on one match. It was more special since stuff like that doesn't really happen in Stardom and while that moonsault isn't a super finisher, it is fairly well protected.

3
LLHatiOP•

Thank you! I only recently heard of Kagetsu and have never watched one of her matches, was this part of her goodbye-gauntlet match or somewhere else?

2

It was her last title match at Year End Climax.

2
LLHatiOP•

Thank you so much! Have never watched Stardom and I've really wanted to give it at least a go, was the next of that show good enough that it's worth to have as a first exposure to the promotion? (As in to take the time to watch the full show rather than just the title match)

2

Definitely, the last three matches were really awesome and the rest of the card was solid too. It's a bittersweet show because half of the names in the top matches aren't there anymore, but it's one of the best shows they had up until that point.

Watch Joey janela vs Jeff hart. You'll learn a thing or two about kicking out at 1

2
LLHatiOP•

Is there a match at a specific show you're thinking of? Either way, thanks!

Search for Bob Backlund's title defenses. He was well-known for kicking out at 1.

2
LLHatiOP•

Ohh! That's a deep pull, very good! This is exactly the type of things i'd miss as soneone who started watching around Mania 31!

AEWPunk525•

I can't remember the matches off the top of my head, but I do know that Brock Lesnar has kicked out at 1 a couple of times from finishers.

2
[deleted]•

I believe when he first came back and beat Cena in the suplex city run

2
AEWPunk525•

I don't think it was that one, I am leaning towards that happening in the triple threat match with Rollins at the Royal Rumble.

3
LLHatiOP•

Thank you! Will check the match to see if there is one! This is giving me a great excuse to go back and watch a whole bunch of matches!

1
LLHatiOP•

Almost certainly! Thank you for the help, google can probably help me find some matches where it happened!

ragnarok_n_roll•

I know it's not really his finisher anymore but didn't Wardlow just kick out of the codebreaker at 1?

2
LLHatiOP•

I think you're right! Thank you very much!

Mick Foley kicked out of Kevin Nash's Jackknife Powerbomb at 1 on accident

Oh! That should be a great 'control', just lile "this is what an unplanned 1-count looks like". Thank you loads! Do you know which show this was on? (I'm sure this is well known but, like i said: new-ish fan.)
