Paid Members garynysmon Posted March 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 5, 2019 Punching your opponent in the head 10 times while stood on the middle ropes as the crowd counts along. (Ditto ramming their head into the top turnbuckle) Atomic Drops. Do they even have tag ropes any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about that one last night but realised I hate it and don't miss it. 8 minutes ago, garynysmon said: Do they even have tag ropes any more? Yep. At the recent NXT show the ref made a point of going to each corner and putting the tag rop nicely into position before the teams came out. Very odd but nice touch.

If anything, I would say they tend to use them far more than even a few years ago (I'd have to go back and look to find specific examples, but it is something I'd noticed recently).

Liam O'Rourke Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I see what he means in the sense of it taking forever since a regular powerbomb, no sitdown, no pop-up, no modified bollocks, a straight up lovely Vader style powerbomb is an awesome move.

But as @HarmonicGenerator points out, isn't that what WALTER uses as his finisher? I could be wrong, but I thought he did a more classic, old school powerbomb?

Liam O'Rourke Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Oh for sure. I just meant that Pre-WALTER, I think it's a fabulous complaint because it took forever for that move to come back. I don't know if I ever feared a move like I did the powerbomb when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely been a prevalence for the sit-out Batista or Liger style powerbombs in recent years, and I totally agree there was a real lack of traditional versions pre-WALTER. On a related note, I'd actually like to see a big man do something closer to Jackknife power bomb. There's probably someone who does, but I can't think currently of the last time I saw someone with that sort of height do a Nash-style powerbomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
