I honestly don't understand how he had the courage to even try that shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Another one I like is Billy Robinson's boss man slam/backbreaker. It was pretty god damn painful looking, and he pulled it off from a few different setups. I think the worst was the Storm Cradle Driver, which hit the indy trifecta of being completely unrealistic, looking terrible, and being dangerous for the person taking it. The sleeper drop that Chyna used for a while was also pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Billy Gunn also used that as a finisher for a second and I remember Jericho using it as a transition move at times. Always looked like crap. Speaking of Jericho, I hate all forms of full nelson face busters. Skull Crushing Finale, The Stroke, Breakdown, etc. Long set-up and hardly ever looks good.

Any move that makes the person taking it have to decide between protecting his or herself or make it look good always suck. The full nelson face buster will only look good if the guy decides he's going to take an unprotected face and head bump. Most people are going to put a foot our or land knee first so they don't end up with a concussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash took it so that he ended up on both knees and his hands on the mat. His head was nowhere near the mat and despite his long hair, you could clearly see it. Also, Mark Madden would always make it a point to say, "Jarrett is going to Stroke *insert opponent* him!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big guy like Ryback needs to bring that shit back, because it looks absolutely devastating. Since the last time someone used the full nelson slam, we've had approximately 81856129681265165 full nelson face busters. Why is this the world we live in?

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I kinda hate the snapmare driver for the reasons mentioned it above. It can look absolutely devastating - if the guy taking the move wants to break his face or rattle his brain. More often, someone puts a knee down to cushion the landing and it looks awkward.

Test also had a really nice full nelson slam. It really should be brought back. Like you said, it looks devastating and it can be countered out of fairly easily to build drama.

cwoy2j Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I remember Christopher Nowinski had an ugly looking finisher. Some weird double underhook thing that didn't look good at all in my opinion. If your finisher doesn't look devastating when applied to Spike Dudley, you need a new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regal invented that by accident during a Worldwide squash. He was going for a Butterfly suplex, and the jobber didn't go up for it properly, so he improvised and spun him over like that to avoid accidentally Cham Paining him.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I could see Cesaro pulling that off. He used to use the UFO (unidentified flying opponent) during his Claudio days, which is somewhat similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This could actually get over as a finish for a power guy, but wasn't a good look for Jeff. Just no. Better. Still no. God no. Bah Gawd, that one's actually okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
