— Footage from an episode of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling aired during Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show last night. During a story about high-powered ships that can break through blocks of ice, Maddow compared it to Rob Van Dam’s five-star frog splash. It then showed footage of RVD hitting the move on AJ Styles.
She said: “It has a special bow design that’s curved in such a way that it can use its engine thrust to actually push the ship up out of the water on top of the ice to then use the 11,000-ton weight of the boat to crush the ice underneath it and break it that way. Having a hard time imagining that? Well, you know this pro wrestling move? (footage of RVD’s frogsplash is shown) That’s what the Polar Star does. It pushes itself on top of the ice and bodyslams it. (RVD’s frogsplash is shown again from a different angle) Not every ice-breaker can do that. And now the Polar Star – America’s only bodyslamming, heavy ice-breaking ship – is on its way to rescue the other massive ice-breaking vessel that still cannot handle what the Polar Star can handle.”
