Seriously, the height he gets and the effortlessness, just amazing!

Is that the move where he jumps on the ropes and kicks in the air?

Yeah. As much as I don't think Del Rio is all that good of a worker, he makes that kick look and sound NASTY!

For me, both he and Ryback have the "why the hell isn't that his finisher?" problem. Ryback has that wicked lariat as a setup instead of the final blow. Del Rio usually favors the cross armbreaker, which looks like crap to me due to his size, but his enzuigiri is gorgeous.

The crack makes it sound like he's legit booting his opponent's head into the cheap seats! I agree it should be his finish though. Maybe that wicked Superkick he did to one of 3MB on Monday too. |

They aren't the only ones, either: Alicia Fox - Beautiful Northern Lights; uses a horrible rolling leg thingy The Miz - Awesome DDT; uses a clumsy full-nelson facebuster Dolph Ziggler - Nice superkick, DDT and Fame-asser; his official finisher is the Zig Zag It's really weird... |

Del Rio's too much of a blatant thigh-slapper for me. 99% of the time his kicks always look weak as hell.

Pretty damn sweet German Suplex too. Second only to Benoits I would say.

While Del Rio himself is a thing of beauty and a very good wrestler, I am not his biggest fan. Wasn't he supposed to be a face or has that been dropped?

Sometimes he finishes matches with it. I recall him pinning Sgt. Slaughter with it.

It's even more beautiful when he does it to Evan Bourne off the top rope.

Miz has the best DDT on the roster. Also, add Brodus Clay's Sheeplex, Cesaro's Swiss Death and Alpamare Waterslide, and R-Truth's suplex stunner as signature moves that look better than finishers. |

I like that he busted out a Michinoku Driver in one of his recent matches. If he ever needed a finisher that wasn't a submission hold, that could work.

It could definitely be his finisher. I think it was in Mexico? Like, he'd drop them from a Press slam into a German and pin them. Was pretty awesome, but wouldn't really fit his current style. |
