Does Not Illustrate: Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty

I've no idea what is actually happening in this image. Either one guy is doing a silly dance while another guy hugs a wrestling ring or... actually, it's kind of hard to tell what else might be going on. After studying it for a few moments my best serious guess is that the one guy tied the ropes around the other guy but that doesn't appear to really illustrate the trope very well either.

He hit the other guy with the chair. "Hit him with the chair!"

That said, there's probably a better picture of a wrestler hitting another wrestler with a chair out there.

Dude on the right has a folding chair around his head...my guess is that he was pushed into the post by dude on the left so that the chair would drive into his neck.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Oh, right, a chair. Duh, should have realized that. Still, it's not a very clear or demonstrative image.

I would pull it, personally. It's hard to even tell what's going on and even then the fact that he's cheating somehow isn't entirely clear.

[up] It would be best just to pull it. Like you said it's confusing and I also realized it's supposed to be a chair. It's not doing any justice.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

If you want a clearer shot of someone using a chair, there's always this scene from Spider-Man. I could probably pull out my DVD for a higher-quality still.

I'd say pull as well; chairs are used in pro wrestling so much that it barely qualifies as cheating even if you can tell what's going on.

So then have we done the motion to pull with people seconding and thirding then? Is it okay to take it down?

Yeah, let's go ahead and pull it.

Do we have any suggestions for a replacement? I can't think of anything offhand that would suit the page that would be obviously cheating.

I think this image would fit quite nicely grin

It's from Punch-Out!! for the Wii in case you didn't know.

That seems good. I'm good with this as a replacement.

I was going to suggest the underside shot of Feyd's hip blade from the David Lynch Dune, but the Punch-Out! image works a lot better. The only other idea would be a short series of images showing the action, but I really thing the above image is the best way to go: simple and comprehensive.

The Punch-Out pic works for me.

Bump; a couple more votes for 15 and we can knock this out.

And there we go. If someone can upload the pic and put it on the page, I'll knock out the rest. Caption or no, in the meantime?

Image is up and potholed, didn't know if I should add the hidden tags (may just regular users put those up?).

Re: caption, I think it doesn't need one, unless someone comes up with something witty. I don't have any suggestions.
