Looks good, I like the Diving Moonsault 3 better, the Lita taunt isn't out of the ordinary for him, and he does a bounce before hitting the moonsault, like the BME, but not as big of a jump. I'd also add the Running STO, I think he calls it the Dangerous STO? One of the Belly to Bellys looks like a Uranage slam, but you kind of rotate, and then do it, might want to check it anyway, otherwise it looks good, I just don't like the hold hands in prayer taunts, the hands don't even go together...

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

its alright but need some work.


He never does the middle kick anymore. Or Spinning Wheel Kick 1 or Backbreaker 7 or Leg Drop 1or Slingshot Body splash 1. Try finding the other moves he does to replace those cause he never does them. I would use a lionsault instead of Slingshot Body splash 1.

[Jos-B]

^Which Backbreaker is 7? Is that the Uranage into a backbreaker, cuz I've seen him do that quite a few times.

[xEpy0n]

i like the set. 8.5/10. but he does use the split legged moonsault though, and i'd use lita's moonsault

Indeed.

He does still do the Spinning Wheel Kick 1 as well.

I've never seen him do a lionsault.

[Jos-B]

^The Lionsault I guess would be for the BME, it's got a springboard...I just realized something, Superstar Press Pin, he does the Arabian Press, which is a split-leg moonsault off the ropes to the outside...

So I'd say, Diving Moonsault 3, Superstar Press Pin, and either Diving Moonsault 2 or the Knee Drop.

[Ravnos]

I'll put the third moonsault as an alternative to 2, the leap is further but faster.

I see what you mean about the Lionsault but, I don't like using springboards for turnbuckle move substitutes, especially when the raw idea is captured at the turnbuckle. BME's a double jump moonsault, so I figure a moonsault will suffice.

& yes he has done the Superstar Press (Arabian press if you will) a number of times in TNA.

Edit: yes Backbreaker 7 is (amost exactly) a uranage into a quick backbreaker.

I'll see what I can about Leg Drop 1...

Any other feedback folks?

[The Last of a Dying Breed]

I think i saw him do a Super Hurracanrana to Samoa Joe on Impact! the other week

[Ravnos]

Perhaps, but I went with the corner moves he most frequently uses. Daniels likes to go for superplexes and his modified Iconoclasm, the Fall From Grace maneuver. The high knees because he likes to drive Harley Race style knee lifts with the opponent in the corner. The chop because he almost always does that at the corner, and the monkey flip because he's done it quite a few times.

[Brcherres1]

looks good

[benjo1000]

It's a pity they took out the Hurricanes Chokeslam becaus ei had it for him in SVR and it was a great replacement forhis standing uranage

[Jos-B]

^Hmm, that is a good replacement, but it's too late now...

Indeed, it would have been quite a good substitute.

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

the lion sault is for his turnbuckle arabian press that he does on the side of the ropes. never does spinning wheel kick as a standing attack. If ur thinking about his single leg dropkick then u've already got a replacement in the claf kick. For the leg drop i would use kick to head(heel) and single leg boston crab 4(clean)

[Ravnos]

The Superstar Press will suffice. The lionsault is too quick in my opinion. Plus I hate that lionsault, I use it for Shelley and Sonjay, and no further than that. It does too much damage, it feels like cheating. You can beat a slobberknocker in about 30 minutes using shoulder blocks & rebound lionsaults.

& thanks for the ground grapple help.

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

no problem. credit me if you turn it in

[Jos-B]

Yea, that's true, that Lionsault does do a lot, and for some reason, it hurts the arms too...

I think I already submitted the set the other day, I was away for a few days so I sent in a few recent sets before I left.
