A more realistic scene would've had TWK stumble down and then swing his weapon around behind him and kill the little gnat that just bit him.

Could he have been stunned as he never even saw an enemy at his back, let alone being stabbed by the same? And I'm willing to allow a little 'smudging' of time in regards to movies as an 'instantaneous' event sometimes drags out a bit as the camera has to render other POV.
