Consider yourself belly-flop-crushed.

Judge for yourselves. Trying to avoid an edit war: this is more of a skirmish about editing.

No way are we going to accept something so blurry.

As said, screenshot/motion capture from 1970's TV film, so the "blurry" comes with the turf. It does capture the essence of the trope quite admirably, though!

For the image, a screenshot of Crash Bandicoot's bellyflop attack could work.

As the person who prepared the image from screen grabs then proposed it as page image, just a tiny bit disgruntled, especially as the reaction was pretty much unanimous!

Large, yes, but not getting in the way of the text and illustrating the concept fairly ably. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Even with a declared interest, i'd move to reinstate.

(Ah, those Saturday afternoon memories of classic British wrestling in the 1970's... classic...)

So, Cavecat went and removed the image on the basis it took up too much space. I thought it was just fine. What say the rest of you?
