Matt D Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 There's a certain looseness to things in 58 still. There's the idea that you can just do whatever to your opponent and it doesn't have to be rote or established. Look at how Corn just chucks him back into the ropes here: Grabbing this whole exchange: Interesting entrance to the gutbuster and then Peruano's next move. Look at how he undercuts the arm to lock in the hammerlock. Eventually he'd roll back with that into a hold. Slugfest: as a side-note, it's kind of cool to see how in this footage the knee crusher isn't just a move that giants did. That's one of those things that was warped over the years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the scene in Repo Man when Otto tells his old buddy who's shot "you're gonna be ok" *death gargle * "maybe not" Also Nagayo's crazy doctor bomb variation i think was called the super freak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did that thing regularly enough that it has an actual name? Wow. At some point I probably should check out more of 90s Chigusa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had a bug fly into my eye today and I frekaed out for 2 minutes, so you can only imagine my reaction to a tassle attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she used it a bunch just given GAEA's roster had people the size of ozaki and nagashima. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After just seeing Future Shock and hearing Cornette talk about it, I believe the Road Warriors didn't want to job clean. Cornette's idea was basically to have someone accidentally rolled up on the back of Hawk's legs as he was doing a gorilla press slam. Animal would also be doing one, but he would drop the guy behind him which would cause that domino effect. Whichever brother Hawk was doing the move on would fall on top of Hawk and 1-2-3. However, Hawk turned that down in favor of the double pin/one guy gets his shoulders off the mat that everyone had been doing at the time in NWA.
