The 5KS is showboating but it's showboating you can plan for by studying the tapes.
Like I said it's all about whether the wrestler can plan for something or if it just randomly falls on their lap.
Fair enough
I am still confused as to how you think, in kayfabe, "manipulation" actually affects your talent as a wrestler. That affects your ability to win matches, but it does not affect your actual in-ring ability at all.
A win isn't tainted because your opponent screwed up. Every single matchup of anything every has had a screwup somewhere, because otherwise both teams would have played faultless games.
And yes, that is all it is - a screwup. Cena showboating is as much an indictment of his ability in the ring as him failing to lift Rock for an AA or not being able to execute his leg-drop bulldog from the top.
