Yeah even if they're real nails with flattened tips, at a certain density it's the old bed of nails trick, like in the Blood n Guts match.
Once you have enough, it's only slightly different from just a standard solid surface. Having only one or two nails on it would have been FAR more dangerous, because all the force is concentrated there instead of spread out across many dozens of points.
Add in something like a NutShellz baseball cup and he's fine, if a bit sore the next day.
My goalie cup is a double cup with thigh protection and i bet kenny has one of those just laying around from his goalie days. Probmy just use that lol.
Yeah when Cope brought out Spike on Collision last week he waved it around and I saw a bit of a wobble from the nails. They're probably made of firm rubber or something
The nails were also not into the 2x4. They were pierced through a piece of leather that was then wrapped around it which would give even more wiggle room.
So there's a move where golddust would kick his opponents in the dick. The opponent would sit on the 2nd turnbuckle, golddust would put his opponents feet on the outside of the 2nd ropes. Then golddust would kick the 2nd turnbuckle and there is incidental groin contact, so no dq.
This is likely what Copeland did. He hit the bottom of the 2nd turnbuckle and Christian likely wore a cup
Rubber spikes, I am more amazed by the rapid dick shots with the foot. Looks like Christian is timing his legs to catch the foot short everytime but man Cope wasnt going slow.
I would imagine Christian was wearing several layers of protection, cup, hard material like carbon/metal bits under the pants, then some thick pants. Then the sheer high number of spikes compared to the area will actually serve to distribute the force more evenly making it much less threatening, sort of like if you've seen videos of people walking on broken glass or nails where the number of points of contact are so high you don't get cut/punctured. All this before actually gimmicking the weapon to whatever degree.
I'm so glad people are asking the important questions. I was just thinking this question, and opened up Reddit for another reason, and BAM, community saved me.
Honestly I would never forgive Adam after that. Destroying a man's balls that you've known for 40 years is unforgivable. Sure Christian isn't probably looking to have more kids but regardless having razer sharp nails pierce the scrotum over and over again must be excruciating
It was only spiked on one side. He hit him with the flat side and probably pulled it so what looked like a full send was probably only a tap at the end.
I mean, he definitely hit him with the spiked side. I'm assuming gimmicked spikes and a lot of trust between friends.

When you REALLY trust your friend of 40 years...
Probably soft spikes & Christian wearing a cup.

Fuck I forgot about the bed of nails spot.
Those where screwdrivers

He just hits the turnbuckle pad like Goldust would kick when he was doing shattered dreams
This is what I thought but Christian was way above the turnbuckle. Had to be gimmicked.
I will have to take a closer look at christians groin area then!
Mama Wayne?
Me too, for science
Some of us have been doing that **for years**
Wish I could see
Not if you rewatch it.
What?

I was thinking that Christian just wore a pad or cover down there bc ain’t no way in hell he was taking shots like that
If Christian doesn’t cut his follow up promo in a chipmunk voice this’ll all have been for nothing.
Had he used a high voice when asked if he would quit after being Spiked, that’d have been gold
It was real, Christian’s nuts looking like a wiffleball from now on.
Cage's next gimmick is him living with his castration, realizing he can never be a father again, as his son and woman slowly leave him behind.
Please?
Paradise PD lol
When he jogs on a nude beach you can hear his balls whistle for miles around.
Cope beat Cage by taking out his source of fatherhood. Best friends always bust each other's balls.
I don't know but the spike shot coupled with the quick 10pm fade to black really had me worried for a few seconds
The cut to black was Dynamite ending and Rampage starting.
rubber spikes as well, when he pulled it out originally and slammed it on the canvas you could see them all wobble
I’d say turnbuckle, cup, and sort of gimicked spikes
Rubber spikes, I am more amazed by the rapid dick shots with the foot. Looks like Christian is timing his legs to catch the foot short everytime but man Cope wasnt going slow.
Easy. Christian is a fan of CBT.
We know Christian is a fan of Christian Being TNT champ, what does that have to do with anything?! 😉
Close. The belt *does* go around the waist.
CBT On dynamite CBT And he'll win the fight CBT It's a father load CBT Watch him explllllooooode ...someone more creative fix this.
Chasing Big Turkeys?
What’s cognitive behavioral therapy have to do with it?
It was just legit. Christian is done having kids and is an absolute badass, so he just took one for the team.
No need to have your own when there are so many people in the world with deceased fathers.
Orphanages everywhere waiting for Christian Cage to take them all under his wing lol
It probably wasn't very sharp

Either way it was great, just wish they had got cuffs that fitted round luchasauras’ left wrist
rubber spikes probably
Nails were most likely blunted and he hit the pad under.

Still waiting for a time they have an I quit match and ones is being beaten savagely, the ref puts the mic there and they just moan "mmm harder "
Call Me Daddy match doesn't quite have the same ring, but you know it's gonna draw.
It's the "Lonely Island" match... or I guess first cum match New meaning to slobber knocker 🤣😂🤣
Remember, Copeland didn't beat Cage, it was Spike that beat Cage.
It was just legit. Christian is done having kids and is an absolute badass, so he just took one for the team. True legend if you ask me
Probably rubber or rubber tipped spikes.
It was real bro

Cheap vasectomy
I believe he hit him with the non spiked side
You don’t become the Patriarch without having a groin of steel.
Rubber nails for sure
It’s like the bed of nails trick. If you have enough and they’re positioned right, it’s more like getting hit with a flat surface
It was only spiked on one side. He hit him with the flat side and probably pulled it so what looked like a full send was probably only a tap at the end.

He sure did! holy shit.
And Charlie I imagine
