maskedmaniac Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Can you guys name some popular wrestling moves or finishers and list either who you think did it the best or whose version of the move you like the best. I'm sure people will have differing opinions on this, here are some of mine: Elbow Drop off the top turnbuckle: Randy Savage Super Kick: Shawn Michaels Sharpshooter: Bret Hart (although I did like Benoit's when he did it) Spear: This one is tough, many guys have done this move well like Goldberg. I think I like Mil Muertes currently how he does it. Piledriver: Undertakers tombstone Torture Rack: Atlantis, always love when he kneels down to apply extra pain. There's some more moves like the camel clutch and asai moonsault but I couldn't really come up with a favorite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Kazu Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Moonsault: Kurt Angle Kenta Kobashi, though. Frog Splash: Eddie Guerrero Spinebuster: Triple H or Arn Anderson Triple H's spinebuster doesn't come close to Arn's, imo. And about the frog splashes I'd say it's between Eddie, RVD and Tanahashi. Tanahashi's looks super impactful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ! Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 This might be unpopular but Clothesline: JBL Nah you good, it's between him and Nigel for me. Dropkick: Okada (Styles and Ziggler right behind him) Missile Dropkick: Omega Cutter: Ricochet Tope Con Hilo: Between Cedric or Ricochet Moonsault: Yeah nobody's beating Kurt, that shit was flawless even though he never hit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St★rstruck Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Dropkick: Kazuchika Okada Before Okada became super popular, it was definitely Styles who was right behind him. I recall Hardcore Holly having a good Dropkick back in his day, too. Orton and Ziggler are others who come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedmaniac Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The dropkick seems to be a lost art now. Back in the late 80's and into the 90's I remember everyone who was able to actually did it from Macho Man to Rick Martell, Bret Hart, and I think even Razor Ramon and even The Giant (Big Show) did it as well. I guess WWE thought it might be too dangerous a move nowadays and someone will land on their head lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St★rstruck Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've always thought there was two types of Dropkicks: one being where someone pretty much does a full back flip after connecting like AJ or Okada, and then one similar to someone like Orton's, where they seem to just turn their body to the side before jumping, lol.

Willows Way Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 For me AJ always had my favorite dropkick but yeah Okadas dropkick is some crazy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's more than one variation. My favorite is the one where where they extend their arms fully to the sides when they jump in the air.

maskedmaniac Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I always thought Steven Richards had a sweet looking super kick back in the day, but then again back then only he and of course HBK were doing it. Now it seems to be part of almost everyone's arsenal, from the indies to lucha libre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I take my vote for Ricochet having the best cutter. I forgot about that escalera cutter Dave Crist does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedmaniac Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So the Stone Cold stunner is considered a cutter? The Mack does a pretty good stunner, but Stone Cold will forever be my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
