Moves you don't see anymore?
 

Samoan Drop, what ever happened to that?

i've seen 5 samoan drops this week


now the piledriver is something you rarely see anymore

Elbow drops are pretty rare from wrestlers that weren't around 10 years ago.

flying ax handle(that connects)


the only successful ones Ive seen lately come from my macho man dvd

Umaga (r.i.p) had a pretty sick one

Kind of marked out when Tyler Reks did a variant of a Burning Hammer at the SD tapings.

Atomic Drop (rarely)
Abdominable Stretch
Brainbuster
Shoulder-breaker
Butterfly Suplex

ARMBAR!

Sleeper (Brutus Beefcake style)

Vertebreaker

Airplane spin

homocide uses that

lmfao i meant homicide

Leap Frog.

Cool I don't watch TNA but that's good to know.

Stink Face

Texas Cloverleaf

All of 'em.

I remmeber all the females used to do the bronco buster.

crossface chickenwing

ODB does the bronco........nevermind.....

Leg Drop

Tiger Suplex

full nelson suplex

Piledrivers but I can understand why they want to get away from this type of move.

WWE-wise, submission finishers that actually end matches or don't look horrible. Cena might be the only one who actually uses a submission as a finisher but ruins it with the faces he makes during it.

A pump handle slam that actually hits without the opponent sliding over the shoulder of the guy delivering it.

Bow and Arrow
Backslide
Torture Rack

Yeah... I was really pissed they didn't have Ted Dibiase use his finisher from NOAH. It was the same Cobra Clutch Russian leg sweep he did, but then he'd roll them over on the ground and transition into a cobra clutch/camel clutch combo, it was pretty slick.

Anyway, you don't see a good Boston Crab anymore.

Also, how long until some wrestler starts using the Stunner? I'm surprised someone in WWE hasn't started using it.

Austin needs to pass the damn torch already.

test of strength

The Crossface,The Diving Headbutt,The Mexican Surfboard, and so on.......

The Shocker.

No one needs to use the Stunner for quite some time.

That and no one in WWE deserves for Austin to give them any type of seal of approval.

Cobra Clutch

ROH's Claudio Castagnoli

Salt in the eyes.

Fireball in the face.

Mist in the face.

Yes.

Much better move when RVD did it since he realized you needed the ropes for the extra distance compared to Shane's version where he just stands on the turnbuckle and barely reaches someone.

They are still both fucking impressive.

I love piledrivers, ddts, and powerbombs.

Brain Buster, Piledriver, Death Valley Driver, T-Bone suplex, Capture suplex, dragon suplex, power bombs, actual "High Flyers" etc...

And each is a reason that I now watch TNA...

Any move that involves diving off the apron.
Aside from that a few moves come to mind... 450, Shooting Star Press, Brain Buster, Tornado DDT, Piledrivers, Rocker Dropper, an assortment of suplexes... I'm gonna watch some wrestling dvds tonight.

Evan Bourne does the Shooting Star Press as his finisher unless he recently changed it (aka WWE told him to stop doing it).

I also miss the Atomic Arabian Facebuster

You know...looking at both my posts at the same time, that gives me an idea....

If the rumors of RVD going to TNA are true and they don't fuck with the 6 sided ring yet...I think we could see some type of Van Terminator/Atomic Arabian Facebuster hybrid move on Monday.

Wishful thinking probably, but robvangoddamn that would be a :eek: moment!

Even better if Russo was on the receiving end.

Cena getting pinned fairly in a regular match.

Cena basically does it now, he just doesn't use the chair.

:y:

Didn't HHH actually beat him cleanly a month or so ago?

On his potential final night on Raw, I believe.

Arnold, Verbose, you're both technically correct. However, his mind was on Randy Orton. He was clearly distracted. The only man in the company pushed as mightily as him is Triple H and by WWE logic you have to be 100% focused to take out Triple H.

I'd like to see Randy Orton or the Miz to go over on him, just once, even if they had to make it so he was injured going in for them to do it.

Yeah, I guess if you want to argue semantics, you'd be right. :P

I'm still wrong, it's just I'm not too far off base. Aside from Triple King of Kings H, when was the last time Cena lost a regular match cleanly?

Yeah, I hear ya man. I would have loved for them to follow through with the "Carlito/Conspiracy" angle and have some of the boys in the back continually interfere in Cena's matches and cause him to go on a losing streak. This could have kept Cena out of the title scene for a while and actually developed an interesting storyline leading to the Royal Rumble.

Of course in WWE's world, this would have ended with Cena drawing #1 in the Rumble and eliminating every other participant single handedly.

Hell, I fully expect Cena to make the National Championship Game a 3 way dance on Monday and bring the BCS Title back to Raw.

That's what I'm trying to think of now. I honestly cannot remember.

If you guys watch a bit of ROH you'll see all these moves.

I don't have HDNet or money to spend on ROH DVDs.

How sad were you when Joe went TNA full-time?

You have to win matches to have any need for a finisher.

Don't see the abdominal stretch much anymore. That was a textbook resthold, and the heel would always grab the top rope for leverage behind the ref's back. The headlock as a utilized weardown hold seems to have died out too, and when did you last see a decent crucifix?
