That fucking splash where he would spring to the top then fall forward with no momentum with his arms glued to his sides. He looked a right bell-end and it had all the impact of a strong fart.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated it. I don't recall a time the 619 wasn't followed up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 He definitely finished that one guy off with a 619 in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbomb seems to be saying Rey finished WITH the 619. I don't think this ever happened. It did happen, on TV. Was a long time back, and I couldn't tell you exactly when. But I remember being surprised at the time that he wasn't following it up. It must've lasted for one or two shows at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted September 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 The 619 was awful, mostly because the level of "contrived" about the opponent setting themselves up for it was usually bordering on ridiculous. There's a house show finish on YouTube where he dropkicks Punk in the knee causing Punk to fall forward in an awfully convenient way to get into position, then Punk reverses the first 619 attempt onto a GTS attempt which Rey turns into a headscissor which ALSO drapes Punk miraculously across the middle rope. 619, strong fart splash, go home. When a wrestlers finish and the drama surrounding the finish is a fuckawful looking "hey, look at the performers co-operating" sequence, it kind of takes you out of it. The first against Chavo looked organic, thereafter was mostly a shitshow. 619 with any kind of crap follow up, West Coast Pop... fuck that noise. The Pop was a letdown after it turned into the lame "rana" variety that just flips your opponent to the mat, as opposed to when he used to springboard into a proper Huracanrana.

Keith Houchen Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 In WWE, Rey always seemed to have to grab the legs for the pin with a second attempt, spoiled it for me a bit. Â Even at it's worst, at least the 619 didn't have John Cena draped across the ropes talking to Roman whilst waiting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sid's chokeslam/powerbomb were a thing if beauty. None of this stupid flippy shit, just raw brutal power. The chokeslam particularly looked fantastic especially on guys like Michaels who would sell it like death. Maybe not a finisher exactly but Ron Simmons spine buster was another great looking signature. Wouldn't want to take that either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 As a kid I was always amazed that Scott Steiner didn't seriously injure himself or an opponent when doing the Frankensteiner, he always seemed to catch it either spot on or make the jump a few seconds late, case in point the one on Samu at Wrestlemania 9. I was surprised he didn't use the Screwdriver as a finish when he turned heel in 97 instead of doing a shite Camel Clutch  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted September 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 Who wants to take the Screwdriver, though? Especially as I assume he was approaching knackered at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But watching it now, it’s really poo.  it could look good when timed and bumped for well, but like Edge I think it's another case of getting the move over with everything but the move. I still regularly say THE POUUUUUUUUUNCE. PERIOD. to amuse myself, his promos were really fun. Keith Lee does a fucking boss pounce now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
