Suggestion: Onryo out

I know only Onryo does this but how about programming a check box that allows a wrestler to kick out Onryo-style?

For those who didn't know, when the ref about count 3, Onryo grabs his arm preventing the ref to make the count.

Does anybody besides Onryo do this?

Personally, it sounds like a rather dumb heel heat tactic to me.  Would get old really fast.  Maybe it comes across better seeing it, but sure doesn't sound that way to me...

He's actually face in Japan with a "wrestling ghost" gimmick.

It really does come off better in seeing it. First time I saw him do it at the 2000 J-Cup, I marked out. Let's put it this way, Onryo does the dead guy gimmick far better than the Undertaker ever has.

Am I alone in thinking that a wrestler should usually get disqualified for that sort of thing? I mean, they're physically interfering with a referee.

I guess some people could use it. I just don't see this as being as widely-useful a checkbox trait as something like No-Sells or even Sits Up.
