Greatest Top Turnbuckle Move

[FourFifty]

The only reason why I'm posting this thread is the time.

The greatest top turnbuckle move is the FourFifty.

[FourFifty]

GOD DAMN IT! ONE FUCKING MINUTE OFF FROM 4:50 WEST COAST TIME!!!!


And the shooting star press is better, anyways.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

Swan Press from the Fire Pro Wrestling games

[Ben Rodrigues]

The Van-Terminator had it's moments.

[Kane Knight]

7:51 AM.

[Xero]

The Ass Punch, of course.

[ron the dial]

Phoenix Splash.

[Disturbed316]

Brock Lesnars fucked up shooting star

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The 630 is pretty fucking awesome when done right. RVD's frog splash, and HBK's elbow also rank high for me. Also Cima's somersault van terminator.

[tucsonspeed6]

Was(/is?) Kennedy's lambo leap a top rope move or a second rope move?

[Corndad]

I always liked when Angle was laying down and his opponent was climbing the turnbuckle, he just springs up and gives either a belly to belly suplex or Angle Slam from the top.

Also gotta put Macho Man's Elbow Drop up there as well.

[Sadistic]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VolZ1Le1CSM

Move at 2:20 (Some sort of inverted 450 splash?)

The Move at 2:05 is also coo. (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press)

[Testicle]

Scorpio Splash.

[redoneja]

Macho Man's Flying Elbow Drop. Marked out everytime I saw it as a kid.

[redoneja]

Also, Chris Beniot and Dynamite Kid's Flying Headbutt.

[Caged Heat18]

I always liked the shooting star press, and also like Angle's moonsault.

[Blue Demon]

The Move at 2:05 is also coo. (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press)
:eek: that's cool.

[rob11]

Whoopee Cushion:shifty:

[Fox]

Shooting Star Press into a DDT...

(about 0:22 in)

[Hornicane]

I always kinda liked the somersault leg drop.

[SammyG]

I love Hardy's Swantop. Sean O haire's was sweet too. But Macho Man's Elbow and the Shooting Star Press are my favs.

[Stickman]

Macho Mans elbow.

Hate the flying headbutt.

But I'm going to say the best is something sick like a powerbomb or piledriver.

[FourFifty]

Macho Man's Flying Elbow Drop. Marked out everytime I saw it as a kid.


Ah, that's THE move that got me hooked into wrestling!

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Kid Kash's hurricanrana reversal of a powerbomb

[The One]

Toss up between Michaels and Savage's elbow drop. Best move lately though is Daniels' BME.

[Rammsteinmad]

Benoit's Flying Headbutt or the 5 Star Frog Splash.

[Stickman]

To you guys who say Flying Headbutt please tell me why. I dont' get it. It's like the fakest top rope move. Why would you ram your head into some dudes shoulder?

[Kane Knight]

Was(/is?) Kennedy's lambo leap a top rope move or a second rope move?

You mean the one like RVD does? That's a second rope move.

I couldn't remember what a lambo leap was, sorry.

[Stickman]

what exactly does a flying corkscrewish move do? LIke a monsault with a corkscrew? Is it supposed to make you go faster or someshit?

[Xero]

If he means the flipping fireman's carry, that's from the second rope.

[Jura]

I've always carried something special inside for the 450 splash and SSP. I also went crazy when I saw the Frankensteiner off the top rope.

[Jeritron]

Ric Flair's. Less is more.

[Crippla]

Chris Beniot and Dynamite Kid's Flying Headbutt.

[Crippla]

Also gonna throw the Vader Bomb out there.

[Jeritron]

"Off the ropes with a flying leg kick"

[Corkscrewed]

I'm a fan of the more "difficult" moves, so the inside shooting star or 450 or a corkscrew moonsault are always cool.

Combo moves are totally mark out material. I've thought of the idea of a SSP into a DDT before, but I've never actually seen it done till now (that one was a bit sloppy, but level of difficulty makes it forgivable). Actually, you can probably just flip forwards and then hit the DDT for a safer version of the move. But I'm a sucker for creative combos like that. :)

[The Naitch]

Kennedy's move

[Skippord]

Diving Headbutt

[Dorkchop]

Macho Man's flying headbutt.

I like the crazy ass shooting star presses and 450s, but enjoy a solid splash, moonsault, or flying elbow drop.

I used to really like Val Venis' Money Shot. I also liked his splash off the top rope.... back when he wasn't a jobber and actually got to use the move.

[Maluco]

Not just saying this because of his recent passing, although it obviously brought it back into my head, but Bam Bam's flying heabutt looked great. He was a big man, so the impact always looked fierce, and he got air, which was crazy for a man his size. He moved so well in the ring.

Favourite has still got to go to Macho Man, big leap, and because of the time, it was always so impressive. Even now though, I can still watch it and feel the impact, nbot too many moves we can say that about 20 years ago.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Shawn's elbow tbh.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Also, Brock's shooting stars and 450's from OVW were a fucking sight to be seen.

[Testicle]

what exactly does a flying corkscrewish move do? LIke a monsault with a corkscrew? Is it supposed to make you go faster or someshit?

Since when has wrestling had to make sense or be real.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Can't believe I forgot the BME.

[Blitz]

Also, Brock's shooting stars and 450's from OVW were a fucking sight to be seen.
You're telling me Brock Lesnar did a 450.

[thegreatmutasyxx]

Vader - Moonsault (not sure if it was toprope)
Booker T - Harlem Hangover
Macho Man - Elbow Drop
Ultimo Dragon - Dragonrana

[Shaner]

I would say the 450, it's just so insane to watch.

[Jura]

I like to see a good flipping powerbomb from the top rope every now and then.

I can't find a video of Scott doing it off the top but here's one from standing position

[tucsonspeed6]

If he means the flipping fireman's carry, that's from the second rope.

In that case, I'll go with a Molly-go-round.

[Xero]

You're telling me Brock Lesnar did a 450.
My thoughts exactly.

I want to see a video of this.

[Flashman#2]

I always liked the 7 year Itch from Perry Saturn

[Doc Brown]

I always liked the 7 year Itch from Perry Saturn


Billy Kidman did the 7 Year Itch, when he was in "Ravens Flock".

[Flashman#2]

what?

[redoneja]

Can't believe I forgot the Great Muta's Moonsault

[.44 Magdalene]

The Buff Blockbuster.


:shifty:

[Destor]

Phoenix Splash.

[Destor]

You're telling me Brock Lesnar did a 450.Yeah, and they were spot fucking on too.

[The Fugitive]

The first one that immediately comes to mind is the Phoenix Splash.

The Shooting Star Press would probably be next, followed closely by HBK's elbow.

[the Illusionist]

7:51 AM.

yeah, thats real intelligient.

[the Illusionist]

The first one that immediately comes to mind is the Phoenix Splash.

The Shooting Star Press would probably be next, followed closely by HBK's elbow.

how does the phenoix splash work? i've never seen it before. or if i have, i just dont know who does it.

[Destor]

Cork screw moonsault into a four-fifty.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Yeah, and they were spot fucking on too.

:y:

Honestly, it's a shame that people will always remember him for the botched press, but him and Shelton used to compete with each other to see who could out do the other with spots, Brocks 450's and Press' were amazing.

I think the store went something like Shelton did the 450 first, Brock finally did it, then Brock did the press and Shelton didn't try it. Can't say I blame the guy, I never would either.

[Blitz]

Somebody get me video of this 450.

[Crippla]

Somebody get me video of this 450.

Can't find a vid of him doing a 450 but here's a good Shooting Star Press.

[hitman23]

The reverse frankensteiner looks dangerous as hell. Ive never seen that before off the top. Brocks shooting star press is probaly one of my favs. I was at a raw in lexington ky about six or seven years ago and watched him use it in a dark match. I remember telling my buddies when they announced him thats the guy who does the shooting star press. They gave me straight hell. Until he hit it perfectly. It was definitely a sight to see.

[Fox]

Shawn's elbow tbh.


I have to agree with that. I always liked how he smacked the crook of his right arm with his left hand as he came down with the elbow drop. Gave it a bit of finesse.


Also, as an honorable mention, Kurt Angle has hit some pretty beautiful moonsaults.
