Dreamers of Dreams Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Top rope elbow drop connoisseur's in this thread. Â Not really, I just use my eyes to observe said move, then formulate a judgement from said observation, which is this case is...it looks shit. Â It's a routine that works well for me.

Colt Stevens Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It looks perfectly fine. Not as impressive as Savage but it isn't put over as Punk's finisher nor does it suit his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If you're dropping an elbow, in which for your feet/legs hit the mat first then your doing it wrong, simple as. Punk barely bends his arm at point of impact, which is kinda the whole point of the move really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Stevens Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 He hasn't hurt himself with it and it isn't displayed as a finisher with the camera angles so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted January 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 It looks ugly as shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Stevens Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's not a thing of beauty like Savage by any stretch. It isn't ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2012 But it is. His body is flailing absolutely everywhere like an idiot. It looks sloppy and lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrasslin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Let's argue about the perception of whether something is ugly because that isn't completely subjective! There must be a definitive answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2012 And there is a definite answer, and that's that it's the Bride of Wildenstein of Elbow World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 It does looks completely piss, though. Just because you like someone, doesnt mean you cant say whats crap and what isnt. A lot of my favourite wrestlers have moves that look crap, and make me go "oh, jesus" when they do it. Whoever compared it to the Rock's sharpshooter is spot on. It always looked terrible when he'd have that look on his face like he barely had it locked it and he was deserate to put as much pressure on, even though he has nowhere near his opponents back.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2012 Or worse still, Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press. One of the ugliest moves in wrestling history. One of the most painful as well. Someone was always getting mullered off that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepperPlunge Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I rewound my Survivor Series '01 tape about five times to watch Kidman's Shooting Star for the first time and showed my mum too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffingtonClyro Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Add Cena's STF to the list, that looks incredibly shit and weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
