Youtube is not providing me with adequate examples of Mark Jindrak throwing good dropkicks. This is a failing on its part.

Some highlights:

I miss these two :(


gently caress's sake, 'Berto


Slobber knocker


Some say he's still drop kicking (not really he's dead)

Okada vs Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 9, may be one of the most perfect dropkicks I've ever seen, even if only for the timing and placement of it in the match being so perfectly spot-on.

Also JR completely losing his poo poo over it cause he'd been waiting for it the whole match

You chose..... wisely.

That was great too, yeah. I bet JR was especially happy because it plays so well into his (quite accurate) philosophy that you can still wow the crowds with relatively simple things if you just time them right within the context of a match.

drat. You know in games and anime when they do something weird with th frames to make a punch or something way more brutal? This that right here. Just needs a cartoon cracking sound effect and speed lines

That is one of my favorite spots, I love Shibata's corner dropkick. It's nothing super flashy but I love how he gets some air and just unloads at the last second.

Cedric Alexander (corner murder spree)

All time best dropkicks:
Okada

Oh yeah, Jason Jordan needs some dropkick love in this thread. It's especially impressive when he does it to multiple people one after the other, just popping up and never missing a beat and making it look great every time.

Glad to see Cedric and Shibata get mentioned, but also Roddy Strong has a excellent dropkick. The running dropkick off the apron Kyle O'Reilly does is pretty great too, especially when he blasts a guy straight into the guardrail or a chair.

The match I was thinking of was Tajiri vs Corino from Hardcore Heaven 2000:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0WLLd09i9U&t=375s
That match actually has Tajiri doing a ton of awesome dropkicks:

A lot of them are overshadowed because that match probably contains one of the only instances of chain wrestling into a green mist attack ever.

Much like Shibata he seems to have lightened up on it now but Rush used to just kill dudes with his corner dropkick. I remember Nakamura and Negro Casas taking particularly nasty ones.
