Curt McGirt Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Andrade/Pac was really really good until the end, which they fucked up so bad it completely turned me on the match. This unrealistic kickout crap has to stop.

This unrealistic kickout crap has to stop. This is my exact opinion. Any match that has a top rope brainbuster should end with the top rope brainbuster. What the fuck else can you do to stop someone that gets up from a top rope brainbuster? Unless you stab them, shoot them, or use some sort of improvised explosive, I'm not going to buy it. 3 1

We're basically all in agreement about this (though I said that the strike exchange should have been before and not after, but the idea is similar). Is there anyone who thinks a top rope brainbuster should not end a match on DVDVR currently? Show of hands? I promise I won't personally publicly shame you. I just want to know.

Yeah, that strike exchange would have hit even harder if it happened leading up to the top rope, and then the brainbuster could have been the desperation move that it took to finish the match. It isn't like they had some sort of big idea on how to finish the match after that, they ended it with a stupid roll up.
(BP) Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Brainbusters should be protected finishers and one off the top rope should be a Burning Hammer situation. 3 1

I've said it around here before, but if picking someone up, turning them upside down, and dropping them on their head isn't a credible finisher, then we don't have any credible finishers. 2

I'm still hot about that Pac/Omega ironman match used both a top-rope brainbuster and an underhook piledriver for two counts in, like, the first five minutes of the match.

Well, I remember it was first no-sold by Takaiwa in like 1997, so yeah, it's taken a beating for a while.
Curt McGirt Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 But Takaiwa never sold anything, so does it count?

Aside from the mentioned methods, If a top rope brainbuster wouldn't work, I'd probably go for the 'nads and then, if that didn't work, I'd just run away. 2
Brian Fowler Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 So... I can lay out a scenario where I'm eventually okay with someone kicking out if an avalanche brain buster. But in general? No, obviously not.

DreamBroken Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Catching up on things, Pac/Andrade was indeed excellent. Loved it and the awesome post-match had a great feeling of excitement around everything happening there. Enjoyed Anna/Britt as well.

Once a year I'm reminded that Takaiwa is in my bottom 1% of all time. Thanks fr my annual, doc. 2
