AJ's been doing the move for like a decade without any issues. What's more likely, that it's a dangerous move or that two dipshits don't know how to take the move, which happened to occur back-to-back?

The Styles Clash looks dumb as gently caress. He should do the Test big boot.

If Michelle McCool can pull it off, it's probably a safe enough move.

I think it's funny that AJ talked about wanting to get the Calf Killer more over, to have more tools than just the Styles Clash, but Gedo wants all Styles Clash all the time haha.

It's a flapjack with the added benefit that the other guy can't break his fall so it's more dangerous for no discernible visual advantage. Woo.

I don't understand what the Styles Clash is actually meant to hurt. Ive taken harder looking bumps falling over like an idiot trying to do a handstand. e; in kayfabe, obviously.

Is the Styles clash that different than a Pedigree in the end? You're just making the guy take a front bump basically. At least the Clash still ties up the guys arms Rock Bottom is just a back bump. Wrestling is silly if you look at it too closely.

Styles Clash is one of those moves that just stands out to me as looking too dumb even for wrestling. Pope Corky the IX posted:How do you do a kayfabe handstand?

y'know what's funny is Tanahashi used to do the Styles Clash but whether it be a translation error or the Japanese not understanding the idiom of clashing styles, they called it the Styles Crash. Like I have the NJPW trading card for the move and it says STYLES CRASH in big letters. Thanks for reading.

The Styles Clash has never bothered me really, and the way NJPW is pushing it as a devastating finisher is awesome. The ref and announcers freaking out when AJ or Tanahashi sets it up is great.

The Styles Clash is ridiculous and exposes the business. Now let's talk about the best finish, the Canadian Destroyer.

Smoking Crow posted:What is the worst finisher ever? I think it might be Lex Luger's Torture Rack, that thing sucked The Master-Lock. Especially when Vince called it a Full Nelson on the air. Miz's Figure Four is just insulting. Fancy punches are kind of dumb, whether it's Kerry Von Erich's Tornado discus punch, or Crush's Heart Punch. At least with Big Show, he's a giant fat guy, so his windup punch at least looks impressive.

In like 97' or so I swear JR's BBQ sauce came with a little jr hat on the lid of the bottle and I can't find anything to back this up. Am I just imaging that I had a bottle like this?

The talk about the Styles Clash is weird because Cesaro's Neutralizer is basically a cradle version of the same move and nobody really complains about that.

I don't like the Neutralizer and would much rather he finish people with a big "gently caress you" uppercut, like the lifting one or that crazy spinning one he did to Sami Zayn.
