I've noticed that this move seems to be the go to finisher for black wrestlers in the 'E lately. First Shelton Benjamin uses, then he gets released and they give it to MVP, then he leaves and it becomes R-Truth's finisher when he turns heel. So going by the move's history expect Truth to leave or be released soon and then it becomes Kofi's move.  |

I like the move, but sometimes it just looks too much like they're jumping and the other guy hit a Rock Bottom on them.
Hasn't Heath Slater used it at times, particularly when The Sweetness was his finisher that never seemed to look the same way twice?

Truth should really use his suplex stunner

It's the same thing with the Scissors Kick.

12 years ago it was the regular STO. Then it was the roll of the dice. Then it was the overdrive/playmaker. Now it's the jumping reverse STO. "What will you know...tomorrow?"

Has Punk changed his finisher now? Seems that way. And yeah, very glad the Overdrive and Reverse DDT seem to have fallen out of favor, given how lame both of them usually look. |

Yeah the WWE seems hellbent on getting that move over, even though it sucks.
I want Truth to bust out a top-rope gordbuster or something. The guy has never had a decent finisher, at least not in WWE.

Actually, I think he did bust one of those out once as K-Kwik, since a regular sitout gordbuster was his finisher at the time. |

Maybe not always from the top rope, but in big matches or whatever. Anything's better than that crappy spinning forearm or the Paydirt. |

The best reverse STO was the one that Knox did.

Move itself aside, I've yet to see Truth not hit it smoothly. So it is at least a move that he seems to be able to perform.

I think we can all agree that regarless of what move he uses, any of them would be better than the Lie Detector.
