We all saw on Sunday when Golden Tate spun his way out of three tackles and flipped his way into the endzone against the New Orleans Saints. And thanks to the production crew at FOX, we also got to see Tate celebrate the touchdown by giving the ball a taste of his elbow on what looked to be a legitimate—and painful-looking—elbow drop.

The celebration earned him props from the wrestler who inspired the move, The Rock. He applauded the move on Twitter, saying, “Heart stoppin’, elbow droppin’.. @ShowtimeTate brings the dangerously exposed elbow to the pigskin today.
