Now you, as a former worker yourself, how can you cast this off so easily? If this were you, and Punk started going threw your move-set wouldn't you be offended?

How many guys have a made a name for themselves off the back off a move? Off the back of a new and unique move that no one has seen before? COuntless workers? Is it fair to deprive KENTA of this option, this possible gimmick? Is that right?

WOuld you sit quite if it were done to a worker you know?'

And as far as that bullshit with the pedigree goes, how can you not see the problem? EVERYONE has seen the pedigree done by H. He's established that as HIS move. KENTA hasn't had that opportunity, and until he had it isn't right for a guy to come along and take as his own.

At least they're calling it the G2S though. SO I can pretend this is a homage like the Plunge was.
My finishing moves while I was a wrestler: Superkick, Sharp Shooter & Shooting Star Press. I really only picked those moves too because of my height it was impressive to see me kick the chins of guys who were a good half foot taller than me (plus it's an easy finish), the Sharp Shooter I did because this one booker made me, and the SSP I did because it's a damn nice flashy move to finish off with. I'm sorry, but I don't think someone can "steal" a move. If you're livelyhood is based off the performance of a single move, you aren't much a wrestler. Besides, as you've pointed out, Kenta will never get over to a large American Audience, and his fallowing in Japan is in no way threatened by Punk. Sure some people can take moves and make them into someone great (Mandible Claw = Mr. Socko, Elbow Drop = People's Elbow) but even there, it was the character that sold the move. The move itself is nothing. If someone is threatened by another wrestler performing a move that they either innovated or have been using for an extended period of time, than that wrestler needs to lose the skirt.
