Haven’t seen Bob do a dropkick in the past 20 years, so I think my use of “currently” would get me out of that one… unless I’ve misunderstood the question and we’re talking “most recent all-time” and not “most recent best right now”?

Yeah most recent all time. Who is the most recent person to be considered so good at a particular move they do the all-time best one. Some might argue for Okada to have the best dropkick, it is a really good dropkick. Bob Holly did a great one too but my comment about him was taking the mick a bit. Orton used to have a really good one as well. Quote

King Mal the Glorious Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Does anyone have recommendations for promotions in the Edinburgh area? I'm spending a lot of time up there these days so it would be cool to check out something local. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 3 Awards Moderator Posted May 3 Something that didn’t click with me until today… Is Trick Williams’ name an intentional reference to actor Treat Williams? For that matter, is Shawn Michaels having that name any kind of reference to Lorne Michaels? Quote

HBK is just his middle and first names reversed and adapted into a name because he wasn't gonna be getting far with his proper name. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted May 3 Paid Members Posted May 3 I'm belly laughing at the idea that a wrestler would name themselves after Lorne Michaels. Quote

Plus he's “Shawn” within the family, despite it being his middle name. (Although his mother is supposed to have chastised him with “Michael Shawn Hickenbottom! What are you doing?!” on a visit to the Texas Wrestling Academy when she saw him – during his first retirement – taking a huge backdrop because he was frustrated that the students weren't getting enough height, back injury be damned!)

Browser Brady Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Just watched this doc on Jushin Liger in the UK during the 80’s by the always excellent kim justice.. It features a uk wrestler called Clive Myers who looks pretty damn good for the time. It got me thinking , what other UK World of Sport era wrestlers were quite progressive in their ring styles ? Doc is here and well worth a watch https://youtu.be/xkN-1tJUKMg?si=2wxaz8sjzvMZuivB Quote
