Busy busy, wish there was more talk about the 70's here, but, I guess I am an old guy, lol
Hope all is well


Busy is good, and I am well, thanks!
Also studying for my last round of boards. :'(


When I have a few minutes, I'll send you a few stories: one involving my buddy who went to school with Baron Scicluna's kid, and my own encounter with the legendary "Hurricane" Johnny Hunt inside of a bank.

I was always a big fan of Cousin Junior's mule kick.  lol.  The full nelson ala Hercules was pretty cool, but useless outside the ring unless your using it to throw somebody out of a bar.

The Bushwackers' Battery Ram,
Ox Baker's Heart Punch,
Shawn's Super Kick,
The Iron Claw as done by Crush Adams, Kerry Von Erich, etc. (Baron Von Raschke was the only guy who had any business doing that shit.)
The People's Elbow - corny, but a gimmick that served its purpose.

With enough time, I could rack up more.

I don't know, the Super Kick can be actually believeable at times, especially the way Shawn connected square on the chin.

Ox had to change his move to The Hurt Punch as he was about to get sued over the original Heart Punch name.  It could be believable depending on when it was delivered and the person selling it.

It's TWICE as devastating when done simultaneously.

Don't you know anything?

It couldn't possibly be TWICE as devastating when Robert Gibson never made contact with the victim.

Crush's kona krush
Kerry's claw
Masterlock
I always liked Valentines figure four but always thought Flairs was weak because I've never seen anyone submit to it.
3:16's stunner was only good because of the way people sold it.
Warriors splash was super weak as well.

Austin Idol had a dreaded figure four leg lock as well.  Flair's has always been weak.

I just don't like the way Orton moves in the ring, and this clip showcases it perfectly. He looks very sissy-ish. I'd like to see him move with some authority instead of looking like he's prancing on eggshells.

What I hate about Orton is how in the ring he is in constant "Flying Superman" mode.  He will duck, stand up thrust his chin up and fists behind him like he is Superman taking flight.

Perfects standing drop kick is one of if not my favorite move of all time. Billy Gunn and Paul Roma both had killer SDK. Big fan of Shane O'Macs coast to coast as well.

My Top 3 SDK list would be :

1 - Paul Roma - really the only move he could do well and it was just beautiful.
2 - Hardcore Bob Holly
3 - Ziggler

Have to give Sting first place for the worst shittiest drop kick to ever be executed.  That and his little fucked up One Hand Hair Pull Running Bulldog was why I stopped watching him.

I never liked the "striking up the band" part; talk about the biggest telegraph.
As I've said, a blind and deaf opponent would know it's coming.

When Nick Bockwinkle used the figure-four, it often hurt him more than his opponent.

Sort of like Van Dammes frog splash.

Most moves off the top rope are like that: elbows, frog-splashes, diving headbuts, etc. Some of the worst I remember seeing were Dynamite Kid's knee-drop and Bret Hart's elbow off the middle turnbuckle. Both men completely wrecked their knees doing those moves over the years.

Worst I ever saw Van Damme over sell the splash was one match he used it on Sabu.  Jumped..... hit it....  bounced over and slid out of the ring to sell clutching his ribs on the floor.  Staggered up after a while, slowly crawled back in, inched over and pinned him.

I didn't know who was more stupid.  Rob for the oversell or Sabu for just agreeing to lay there that long.

Another finishing move so brutal that it must be banned today because no one else does it.....




Remember Shakaska Whatley (Pistol Pez's) famous "Butt Bump" or whatever he called it?   Throw them into the ropes, turn around, jump up so your butt hits them square in the face.... instant knock out.

I laugh at you guys "marking" over Flair's figure-four being "weak."  hahaha, I'm sure that had nothing to do with the angles, etc...  His execution and especially set-up moves for about 5 minutes prior, were always spot on.

I never had any issue with Flair.
But, seriously - watch some of Bockwinkle's old AWA matches sometime. It's a bit comical; even more so now after hearing guys comment on it years later. From what I understand, Nick encountered that issue with several holds.

To his credit, though Mr. Bockwinkle sounded like a very stand-up guy who always cared about and acted in the best interest of the business. He was very professional and straight as a grizzly's dick.

Hogan leg drop. 

but only because Hogan got lazy with it.

when he put in effort, like actually jumping high into the air, it was great.

when you think of it, it should be devastating if done right.

a 6'8" 305 pound running leg drop off the ropes should be devastating

but not if he jumps 3 inches before doing it.

Or doesn't jump at all, and more or less just sits on his oponent's face (keep it clean).
