Cena's springboard stunner and yoshi tonic are the most inane additions to a moveset that I've ever seen. It would be like the Amazing Red suddenly using gorilla press slams and a jackknife.

I'm STILL here to see Cena hit a springboard dragonrana to the outside :colbert:

Don't worry, he wasn't agile at all. They were Roman Reigns on Big Show level spots

During that time in WCW there are probably 20 times in the Observer that Dave just shits on Hogan for being unable to execute a figure four leglock, it's the best

I wish more wrestlers would bust out "where the gently caress did that come from" moves occasionally. Makes it feel like they spent their weekend prepping for the match and I'm way into that.

Kane once did an honest-to-god Frankensteiner.

Just one more reason why Kane owns, and is the best.

Yeah this has become really rare. When a guy pulls out a crazy move these days, it usually just becomes a permanent addition to his moveset. We rarely get something like HHH's random Death Valley Driver in his Benoit match from 2000 (more proof that HHH is truly the best).

EDIT: Also HHH's tiger suplex against Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30. Bow down to the king.

Didn't he do those somewhat frequently, at least on guys big enough for it? I know the enzuigiri was a signature for a while at least. Kane was the original indy big man.

Anyway, inane move choice: Buff Bagwell and the Canadian Destroyer. Generally I don't dig the Canadian Destroyer unless it's done off the second rope, but 44-year-old Buff Bagwell doing it was really the craziest thing.

More to the point it makes wrestling feel like something organic rather than the copy/pasted spot sequences modern wrestling has become.

Also; the first guy I ever saw do an enzuiguri? The Big Boss Man.

I fully believe this. Big Boss Man had some crazy agility for a guy of his size. It wasn't quite Bam Bam Bigelow doing cartwheels around the ring, but Big Boss Man could pull off some amazing moves in those rare moments when the booking team wrote to his strengths.

I never saw much of Khali because his run was mostly during a period when I wasn't watching, and I started watching again just a few months before he got the boot (during which time he was doing basically nothing, he jobbed to Rusev twice and those are the only matches of his I remember)

So my question is, how did people generally beat Khali, did they just use a submission finish? I don't know why but I just realized he probably could never take most impact moves due to either being too heavy to perform the move on or too fragile to not be killed by it. In the first of those Rusev matches I was concerned even the Accolade might be too much for his poor, tortured spine.

I don't remember much about how Khali was beat in general, but when Undertaker was in his big man battling days, he generally seemed to finish with his flying clothesline. If the big guy rarely goes down, knocking them down often seems to be what is needed to get the job done. Count-outs seem to be a big match ender in these cases as well.

Cesaro beat him straight up with the Neutralizer, because he might be treated like a jobber, but he's a loving strong dude. It was so loving impressive.
