Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 The People's Elbow, it's a daft looking thing but everybody goes mental for it.The Spear deserves a mention. It was so effective, plenty of wrestlers have nicked it after Big Bill made it a money move (similar to Jake's DDT). Goldberg hitting that Spear in 1998 was something special.

MichaelMush Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Lex Luger's torture rack in 1997 used to get a huge pop and Tony Schiavone pretty much came every time he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chris B Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 The Tombstone.Kurt's ankle-lock is another. Although he's devalued it over the years, the second he grabs the ankle, the crowd reaction usually goes up a notch or two.Also, and context is massively important here, 911's chokeslam. For the crowd it was playing to, it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 The People's Elbow, it's a daft looking thing but everybody goes mental for it.Absolutely. You knew as soon as he hit that spinebuster the crowd facing the hardcam would be screaming on their feet, waiting for that elbow pad. Super over move. From a logical point of view it's a rotten move (I bet Dexter loathes the move), and must mean Rocky's spinebuster is one of the most devestating moves of all time, but since when has wrestling always had to be about logic? It gets POP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamers of Dreams Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The knife-edge chop. Â Fans will continue to let out a 'woo' whenever and whoever delivers it forever. Even long after Flair has passed away. That's a legacy right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Windham Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The DDT was massively over in WCW too. The crowd used to go apeshit for it when The Freebirds were using it, even when they were heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 I still think somebody needs to start using a DDT as a finish. Nobody in WWE really uses it much as a regular move. Cody Rhodes was using it but changed it for a CAW finish, now he's feuding with Booker T as a punishment from God.
