One thing I noticed about Nikki Bella is that she wrestles like a powerhouse despite not being one I mean swinging headlocks, Blackhole slam, and The Rack Attack (lol) these are moves for guys like Rusev and Cesaro. Same with Barrett who has Wadeslam and Winds of change, Sami Zayn with the blue thunder bomb and the sunset flip powerbomb, these moves don't fit them . Other cases we have Lesnar with the SSP, Harper with the hurricanrana, Adrian Neville being a highflyer despite the power house body type. Anyone else have moves that don't fit them or just looks wrong when they do it?

Nikki is just doing any move she can think of. She uses Jomo's kick, Del Rio's finisher, busted out an Alabama slam tonight.
She's like a CAW

Neville is tiny. Why would he wrestle a power style?

Maybe he is going to steal Crash Holly's super heavyweight shtick

Neville is tiny. Why would he wrestle a power style? He's pretty bulky considering his height though. Like, if he was taller and kept his mass relative, he'd probably be like, a Dean Malenko style wrestler or something. Anyway, I'd say Rusev has bits of this. His jumping super kick and wheel kick are both awesome because they're not something you'd expect of someone his size. |

Nikki has gained some muscle, and with most of the divas being so small it isn't unrealistic for her to throw them around.

One of the advantages of women's wrestling is that lighter opponents mean that power moves are, in general, easier to do.
As for Wade not being a power guy, you realize he's friggin' huge, right? He's one of the bigger dudes on the roster these days.

John Cena's hurricanrana
Big Show's sunset flip
Hell, with the build that the Usos have, you don't expect them to fly around like a bunch of cruiserweights, yet that's exactly what they do.

His STF, since most of his other moves aren't submissions. |

Well, he only ever really hit them on smaller guys. I mean, if he was Winds of Change-ing dudes like Big Show it'd look weird, but it's dudes like Ziggler and Mysterio, whom he can lift pretty high up and get good rotation on. |

I forgot like half of Umaga's moves dude had no business doing them but damn. This seems to be a thing with Samoan wrestlers in general. Big Kish invented the full flip clotheline bump and was always diving off of things, Umaga was doing superkicks and heel kicks like it was going out of style, Joe has always wrestled like a light-heavyweight, even the Rock was pretty damn athletic with his kip-ups and cartoon bumps. |

What about Reigns though? |

I didn't like the suicide headbutt as part of Benoit's arsenal and I don't like it for Bryan either. A technical submission fighter who's used to being the underdog should fight with a sense of tactics, not recklessly throw himself literally headfirst at the enemy.

Geez the Bella's can't win on this site
They wrestle the usual wwe heel diva style when the return in 2013 - People complain
Nikki attempts to come up with a unique in-ring style that separates her from the other divas- People complain.
I don't know about all of you but I'd much rather have someone put in effort like Nikki is doing than just having the same match over and over again like Alicia Fox does.

It doesn't help that they're facing Paige and AJ. Folks won't be happy until those two are just running roughshod over the division. And I'd say Reigns is pretty agile for his size, flying clothesline, superman punch, basement dropkick etc, not standard stuff. |

I'm not complaining it just feels different to me in a weird way I'm actually impressed by how good she is in the ring and her finisher is awesome too compared to Brie who just sucks. |

The fact that Viscera of all people had a mean spinning heel kick was something that always fascinated me.
