Which big man had the best move sets?
 
If you had a 6'10" prodigy and he could study only one wrestler of his size's in ring work, whose tape would you show him? This is purely in ring stuff and not promo, charisma, gimmick, etc...

VSG 08-07-2010 08:08 PM

There aren't many >6'10" wrestlers to choose from. I will go with Undertaker.

Kane Knight 08-07-2010 09:33 PM

lol move-set.

This isn't a video game.

Kane Knight 08-07-2010 09:34 PM

I do enjoy Kane's "work rate" though.

blak23 08-07-2010 10:34 PM

show him kane's for the reason his moves i feel has changed most as he's gotten older

Xero 08-07-2010 10:49 PM

Undertaker's, mainly for the evolution of his in-ring style over the years.

SaskatchewanChamp 08-07-2010 11:06 PM

Had = Bam Bam

Has = Matt Morgan

James Steele 08-08-2010 12:27 AM

Matt Morgan...really?

jskinnyg 08-08-2010 01:56 AM

Taker has evolved good... Was Bam Bam over 6' 10" S Champ??

Wait to set the bar below ground...

Scott Hall isn't 6'10, but he is a big man, and as Razor Ramon, he had some pretty good move sets.

Snowden 08-08-2010 03:47 AM

Undertaker...for his work in the ring, but even more so, for match planning/flow/psychology etc. He's probably the greatest all around big man ever, so why not start with the best.

Gertner 08-08-2010 09:04 AM

A-Train.

Schlomey 08-08-2010 10:15 AM

Taker has been the most consistent big man on the roster. Without fail, each time he returns he has new moves to go with his new attitude. I love it because we have seen the Undertaker use about 5 or 6 different finishing holds now. The added variety of old moves with the newer moves he uses (as well as his MMA style grappling) proves he is the man.

If we're strictly talking movesets, then Matt Morgan isn't really a bad choice at all. He's got a great Chokeslam and Sit-Down Powerbomb. The dude knows how to make those moves look really impactful. The same goes for his Carbon Footprint pump kick. He's done the F5 in the WWE, and his Hellavator is a pretty fucking sick move. The guy is money, and I think if he ever left TNA, he'd be able to land another job with the WWE and really turn heads. Especially since his size seems natural, he can talk, and a lot of the guys getting pushed these days are smaller. I'd love to see him work with Evan Bourne and Dolph Ziggler (since Dolph works great with larger guys).

I do like Kane's moves, and over the years he has changed up many of them, but I can't disagree with The Undertaker as an ultimate answer. He has gone from being a big guy who doesn't do much at all, to incorporating various submissions and more technical moves.

Gertner 08-08-2010 11:12 AM

Take a look at A-Train/Giant Bernard's work in Japan. He has some pretty sweet power moves.

bigslimjj 08-08-2010 05:43 PM

Mike Awesome.

I'm a sucker for Kane, but I'd rather look at a guy like Vader. Not sure if he hits the height, but anyone to not call him a big man is an idiot. Dude threw a damn good powerbomb, the Vader-Bomb was great, and his moonsault was great <strike>for a big man</strike>.

RiX1024 08-09-2010 07:26 AM

Undertaker nuff said.

DaVe 08-09-2010 08:08 AM

Yeah, Taker - easy as you damn well like.

The Mackem 08-09-2010 08:10 AM

Nash

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-09-2010 08:42 AM

Vader.

Mike Awesome has always been a favorite of mine, and if either WCW or WWE had used him correctly, I think he could have been a big star.

The guy was quick, crisp, could fly off the top rope and had the best innovations of powerbombs of anyone I've ever seen.

itsmeJD 08-09-2010 01:23 PM

Are you sure you didn't accidently add a 0? I'd be impressed if Nash could turn 72 degrees on those legs without tearing a hamstring, quad, calves, something....

Undertaker, Kane, Lesnar, Big Show, Test, Vader, Bam Bam, Sid... I enjoyed a lot of the giants of wrestling. Even El Giante was a spectacle to watch... Khali is horrible please get rid of him. Ernie Ladd was really good too.

Attitude99 08-09-2010 05:22 PM

Taker & Kane, Well And Big Show in WCW and early WWF Times

djoutcry 08-09-2010 07:41 PM

Giant Gozales easily:

grunt
snort
yell
choke
foot choke
[repeat]

Glad to see Hornswagglin' Hillbilly vs. Tom "Giant Killer" Dub isn't forgotten.
