It’s kind of the other way around. During big crazy spots, because they know it’s a big spot, they are acutely aware of what is happening and make sure to prep themselves. It’s during the more mundane stuff done over and over again like a side slam through a table that wrestlers become less aware of what they are doing because it’s been done so many times.
