As to the topic: nah..even the writers realized how weak that move was after a while. The had Foley make fun of it. And by the end of his run, Rocky was finishing people off with the Rock Bottom primarily, and the Elbow was only coming out on special occassions, not every match.

As to the Rock being abetter wrestler than Cena: when he was around, the 'smarts' bitched constantly because Rocky wasn't much of a technician and completely ignoring the fact that he was an outstanding brawler and was birlliant at getting the crowd involved in his matches. And no one did 'big matches' better than Rocky did.

Actually, very similar to the complaints Cena gets.

Most top guys who drew money only really used about 5 or 6 moves, the rest was brawling and making comebacks. Thats what they are doing with Cena, thats probably part of the reason why he's over.

I do remember people saying the Rock Bottom looked weak when it was first done. Hell, even the Angle Slam was criticized, you do these moves enough, and people eventually realize "hey its all fake".

The Olympic, sorry, Angle slam has always been one of my favourites. It's so graceful yet devastating, a bit like the Swanton.

I can't see the problem with Cena's finisher. It's now become one of the better known moves in the mat game and is easy enough for kids to replicate and paralyse each other with... the definition of a true wrestling move.

It's not the best, but he performs it well, and really adds to its strength. I don't think many people could pull it off as well.

He does perform it very well its just that at main events no-one seems to kick out of it making it seem hilariously fake

If that's in reference to Angle then you're absolutely spot on. It's a simple move but it's delivered with such flawlessness and finesse. I don't think I need to say that Angle is god to anyone on this forum though.

We've seen others try to pull it off. It looks herky jerky and like crap... like a spinning back drop.

First time I saw Angle do it, I was like "That's cool!" and I thought it looked complicated. Then I realized what it was and I was like "How'd he make such a simple move look so beautiful and complex?"

Because it's Kurt "Freaking" Angle! That's all you need to know.

As for Cena using the 5KS as his finisher...are we trying to set him up to be the next Rock? Do we need another Rock?

The People's Elbow looked....well god damn cocky and just damn cool. Like you couldn't belive this was happening and it couldn't put anyone away. And when it did, the arena just went nuts. The 5KS though....no. It can't be compared to the Elbow because Rock made the Elbow what it is. Just let Cena have the F-U and we're all quits on that.

Don't know if it's been said yet, but The Rock used to do the people's elbow after a Spinebuster more so than after a Rock Bottom.

Yeah, he's really got skill.

Ironically, it was a video game that made me realise it. They can't get the Angle Slam right, because it's something that really only works for Kurt. In the games it always seems shoddy at best.
