Yeah, it was wildly stupid. The chair was open on Eddie's chest and Sami swung fill force so the bat hit the edge of the chair and then kept travelling into Eddie's face.

I like the more simple moves as finishers. The Jackhammer was just basically a fancy suplex but it looked great.

Hellblazer187 posted:The AA is the only one among these that was the finisher of a company ace for close to a decade and treated like death. The Rock Bottom might not logically be more powerful than the AA, but it sure looks like it to me, because of the way it's done. Cena's letting go motion for the AA is smooth, making it look soft to my eyes even though the guy is clearly high up in the air and flipping around. The Rock grabs the guy, lifts him up, and holds on while throwing him down, clearly doubling the damage. It makes sense.

I agree with the Jackhammer as a top tier finisher, the powerslam drop is way more impactful looking than a normal suplex landing. This is why Keith Lee's Ground Zero is a great finisher and looks way more strong than the AA. I always though the World's Strongest Slam was ironically a weak looking slam finisher, despite how powerful Mark Henry was. I never minded the Rock Bottom, it was fine as a kind of uranage variant

I think there's also not a lot of opportunity to make the fall down look like it has extra impact because of the way it's done. Most of their body is way away from Cena's when they actually hit the mat, so he can't do something like use his other arm to make it seem like there's extra impact on their lower back (where the velocity would be the greatest)

Randaconda posted:But Dean did it off the top rope. The only time I ever saw Dean do it, just a standing version in NJPW to Eddie Dean did have that crazy millitary press to rib-breaker off the top that I liked though What I'm saying is that Dean Malenko was neat.

I remember watching Malenko for several weeks in WCW, and thinking, "Holy poo poo, that dude's awesome!" Then I saw him on a WCW Saturday Night against Sting and thinking, "Holy poo poo, that dude's tiny!" He still ruled, however.

What the hell was with Gary Spivey showing up in WCW? Did someone just see the inherent humor in pairing him with Orndorff or was he a fan?

I judge wrestling moves based on how cool their names are to yell out on the playground, and thus the Scorpion Deathlock is far cooler than the Sharpshooter

Let's not forget The Undertaker is so sloppy with the tombstone he hurt Hulk Hogan's neck and caused him to lose feeling in his arm for years after their match and Hogan's head didn't even hit the ground.

Like obviously if you do it exactly right and the pressure is taken on the wrestler's thighs, it's no problem. But if you gently caress it up, it's a big problem. How would it even be possible to gently caress up a Rock Bottom?

By ending up with a lot more potential energy from being ~6 and half to 7 feet up in the air at your highest point and taking that a bunch because it is just repeated stressed of a moderate amount.
