Loki Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In terms of selling, Rikishi's selling of a clothesline was amazing, that 360 degree flip round. Someone in TNA did it recently, I popped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in TNA did it recently, I popped. Â I always think of this when thinking of someone selling a clothesline. Â But given Rikishi's girth and low center of gravity, makes The Keesh's all the more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovanist Pig Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bob Holly's stiff as shit kicks. Nobody gave a better kicking in the corner than Holly. Fucking nobody. Â Holly, JBL and Faarooq all threw cracking clubbing blows too. Looked like they hurt like fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in TNA did it recently, I popped. Quite impressive for his size. Dustin Rhodes did a similar thing too, and it always looked great. Â Speaking of Fatu, his top rope splash was a thing of beauty. Â I also watched Clash of the Champions 7 the other week and had to rematch Michael Hayes' DDT on Shane Douglas back a few times. Was never usually that impressed with Hayes in he ring but this looked perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ted Dibiase doing the Suplex always amazes me. It's not a move I ever give much thought to, but when he did it, it looked fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 Whenever anyone had said Art Barr's frogsplash was best, I just presumed they were saying that because he was dead. But it really is terrific. Much better than Eddie's, RVD's or D'Lo Brown's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShowOff Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Always thought as far as straight up punching goes, Bret Hart was A1. He looked intense as hell, like he was aiming to knock your head off, it looked believeable, and by all accounts was totally safe. Whereas where Austin looked great, multiple people have said it hurt like hell. Bret was a magician in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2013 While I've never really been one to be too bothered how what move is which and called what and how good one's done (when and why is far far far more important than how), everything Barry Windham did was so graceful it beggers belief. Even when he got fat, his superplex into a pin was amazingly fluid and looked fantastic. Â While I've never really been one to be too bothered how what move is which and called what and how good one's done (when and why is far far far more important than how), everything Barry Windham did was so graceful it beggars belief.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 15, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 Frog Slash: Val Venis  Val Venis didn't do a frog splash, it was just a basic splash - he didn't do any of the "froggy" movement mid-air.  While I've never really been one to be too bothered how what move is which and called what and how good one's done (when and why is far far far more important than how)  Fair enough, but you would agree, or in fact even be the first to say, that Brad Armstrong's Russian Legsweep was a thing of beauty? IMO it's the only time anyone's ever made that move look good enough to be a finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he got fat, his superplex into a pin was amazingly fluid and looked fantastic. This is absolutely right. Even how he entered the ring was amazing. He'd get from the floor, to the apron and through the ropes in one fluid motion. There's never been a wrestler I've seen who looked as natural as Barry Winham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not really one way or another. Again, not hugely arsed about moves. Just bringing people's attention to how natural, graceful and fluid Windham's movements were.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 The Death Valley Driver originated in Japan didn't it? It looks Japanese, but why is it called the DVD? It first came to my attention when Perry Saturn started using it, although I'm assuming a previous Westerner would've used it. There's a current thread for discussing names of moves and where they originated. Â here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
