LOL- I've generally found that trying to fix broken things by slamming them against the ground inevitably results in bodily injury- either during the "repair" process or while using the "repaired" part afterwards.

I can hear the bike mech now. . . "Now let me get this straight, sir. . . You pretzeled your wheel jumping off a 20 foot ravine into large granite boulders, managed to survive the subsequent head smack on the handlebars and boulders, and decided to fix your wheel how?????? By removing the quick release and jamming the hub axle on the deck so that you could force the rim into some semblance of straight? Riiiiiiiiight. Uh. . .sir, if you don't mind my asking. . .did it EVER occur to you that there were bearings attached to that axle? Yeah, I really hate to break this to ya, but I'm afraid you're gonna need an entire new wheel. . . What's that? . . . No, I don't think WD40 or Raceday is going to free up those jammed bearings. But you might try swallowing some to loosen up that jammed brain housing group you've got there. . . Huh?. . . Well you do that, sir. I'm sure Proturberance Cycling will refund your money on that wheel. You're right. No way it should have had such a catastrophic failure. G'day, sir. . . <door slams> MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You don't need to smack it. If you remove the QR skewer, then set the whole weel on the gound, then push steadily against the high points, you will pop it back into shape. It does not take that much pressure to do this.

Start with some ground beef, next add some lettuce and cheese, and maybe some salsa, depending on taste. A taco not good for much other than food.
