Jackass is standing in the corner of the gym, next to the practice ring. He has a notebook in his hand and stands there, staring over at the ring, visualising. He seems to be focused on the turnbuckle, analysing it with his eyes. Finally, he turns to his left, where a small tv has been set up (its on one of those wheely trollies, the kind you would find in a school). He flicks the tv on, and presses play on the vcr. The video that plays is of old wreslting footage, of high risk manoevers. Each move plays, followed by another, and another in sequence. After a while of watching the video, he pauses it. With an intrigues look on his face, he puts the video in frame by frame playing. The move on screen is a Swanton Bomb, only the wreslter performing the move does not hit it quite right, his body twisting a little. He lands hard on the canvas and lies motionless on the mat. The scene ends and Jackass looks back at the ring.
After looking over the ring once more, he begins to sketch in his notebook. He sketches on the bottom of each page a simple figure, until he is satisfied that what he has created will actually work for real....
TBC by a friendly... no attacks please. If nobody comes in for a few days, I will just keep writing

Jeff Walks in wearing his ring gear
Jeff:Hey Jackass what are you up to
Jeff Looks at the tv
Jeff:I see your gonna try and learn a new move
Jackass:What else would I be doing here
Jeff Climbs into the ring and starts to do a few quick stretches
Jeff:seeing that you got balls why dont you try out your move on me
Jackass starts to think about it

Jackass laughs a little, before realising that Hardy is actually serious. Jackass walks over to the side of the ring and picks up his notebook. He motions for Hardy to come closer to him, and Hardy obliges. WHen Hardy is in a position to see Jackasses notebook, Jackass flicks thepages through, so that the sketches made earlier seem to come to life.
It shows the drawn figure jump backwards perfroming what looks like it is going to be a moonsault, but twisting around in mid-air so he is facing forwards. He then continues to rotate in the air, landing in the same way as you would a Swanton Bomb. Jackass looks over at Hardy and chuckles:
"A Moonsault Twisting Swanton Bomb...I'm still not sure if its possible to actually do, and you want me to try it on you? Buddy, I might me crazy, but I'm not stupid!
Lets keep things realistic, ok. So how about you leave me be, so I can try and work on this. don't worry though, I am sure that you will be seeing it before long...don't worry yourself"
OOC: C'mon man, lets keep things realistic eh, nobody would try out a move that they have never even seen before, let alone done themselves, on a human being! Its like those guys that come into the gym and post "Soandso lifts 500lbs of weights on the benchpress with one hand"

Jeff:Well in case you havent noticed yet I lack a little in strenght but I make up for it with my speed and my aerial assaults but besides that I'm a little crazy
Jeff looks in to the ring and back at jackass
Jeff:If you dont wanna try the move thats fine just give me that notebook and let me!
Jeff Hardy puts out his hand hoping Jackass will let him see the notebook again
OOC:please continue the thread jackass and let me see it I have a plan

Hayden looks a little unsure. Thoughts run through his head, wondering just what Hardy was trying to prove. He starts to feel angry, in that Hardy is trying to show him up...
"I have literally, only just finished thinking of this move, and you want to try and be the first to do it...my move?! Now I dont doubt that you are crazy, in fact, quite frankly, anybody that wants to try and show me up should be in a straitjacket. I'm not the one that needs to prove myself, buddy...I have done that for years. Looks like for some reason or another, you're looking for my approval or respect. There's only one way to get that, and that is in the ring.
On the other hand, I really dont think that you can pull it off...so look at my notebook all you like...lets see what you've got
Jackass hands his notebook over to Hardy, rather reluctantly and steps back out of the way...

Jeff Grabs the notebook and looks the move over he then throws the book back to hayden
Jeff:This will be easy
Jeff Climbs the turnbuckle and gets ready to jump
Jackass:If you hurt yourself its not my fault
Jeff:Dont worry I wont I mean its practicly a whisper in the wind
Jeff jumps off the turnbuckle doing the twisted moonsault and lands perfectly one his back
Jeff:Told you
Jeff laughs and walks out
OOC:thats just an easy version of the whisper in the wind you reilized that right

OOC: yes I do, but not the way i designed it, you do another rotation, and the rotation happens alot slowr than Whisper in the Wind...its a little hard to explain by words
Jackass watches Hardy leave and picks up his notebook. He looks puzzled, muttering to himself "Thats not what I drew"
The door to the gym closes and he is alone again. Shaking his head, he gets to work with the logistics of his new move

OOC:I know its pretty much the same except you stay in the moonsault a little longer and spin later well I think thats what your trying to do right

OOC: something like that...the end over end rotation of the moonsault is slower than usual, meaning you get more air before rotating. Then you hold that for longer before twisting like you would in Whisper in the wind. I see it more as a backwards Swanton Bomb, but turning at the last minute so that you hit the opponent properly....

Hayden stretches to warmup his joints. After he is satisfied that he will not pull anything, he walks to the turnbuckle. He starts by getting a feel for the ring, trying some simple moves off the top rope, before setting to work on his new move. To start with, he practices jumping from the ring to the top of the turnbuckle, in one motion.
After one failed attempt, landing hard on his back, he tries once more, making it the second time. He does a standard moonsault afew times, each time seeing how slow he can rotate his body in the air to maximise the effectiveness of the move by timing it properly.
Once he is satisfied, he adds a single corkscrew rotation in the move, so that he lands on his feet instead of his stomach, facing outwards from the turnbuckle. Finally, he sets himself up on top of the turnbuckle again, puffing by now from the excercise. He takes afew deep breaths and jumps off the turnbuckle. He moonsaults slowly, with a single twist in the motion so his body is facing the opposite direction. At the end of the move, he tucks his body momentarily, so that he will land on his back on the canvas. He hits the canvas with his back, his arms outstreched...a Success!!
Jackass lays on the mat for a while, recovering from the days workout, before trying the move one more time for luck. Finally, feeling satisfied with the days work, he picks up his notebook and tapes from the vcr, stuffing them back in his bag, and heads for the showers......
