Sometimes you just know that what you're being asked to do is a bad idea. The problem of course is that someone with all

0:13.7

the power is asking you to do it, so you've got to find some way to get out of it.

0:17.4

Unfortunately, punching them in the face is not an option. It is important though, especially

0:21.7

in wrestling, because a bad move can hurt you creatively and maybe even end your current love affair with the fans.

0:27.0

That's no good at all. It can even derail your career entirely if it goes really wrong.
