    Practice on a softer surface, like a mat or foam pit, until it doesn't scare you anymore. Work your way up to harder surfaces.
  • Question
    How can I catch the victim for the RKO?
    Community Answer
    You need your opponent to be a little stunned. Randy delivers the RKO mostly after a power slam or an elevated DDT. If this cannot happen, you need to be real quick, and make sure your grip is tight when you jump and hold your opponent. If you think your opponent is too big for you, you can perform a Stone Cold Stunner after the above steps.

    Probably not. You need to lock your opponent's head to drag them down, otherwise you'll land on your back with a lot of force.
