That's kind of my point though. This type of stuff has existed in Wresting forever, and you can do it but just make sure you do it well.

are not the same thing.
Wrestling itself is built on a bunch of silly principles (Irish whips being one) but if you sell it well, and actually act like it hurts then it's fine.
All the flips and stuff are fine to an extent...as long as you're actually selling it well and it makes the move look like it it's actually even more impactful (I think about Sol Ruca's finisher here, or even just a 450 Splash).
But the flips for the sake of flips are overkill for sure. Even Ospreay and Ricochet are guilty of it at times, when they do their tumbling routines.
