Jarrett should just go ahead and use the Slapnuts as his finisher. For those who haven't seen it, it's somewhat of a reverse stinkface.

But it is my understanding that because of America's obesity issues, Elevated Stroke is one of our biggest killers. EY is from Canada. |

I believe it was originally named the stroke as an inside joke because he had "stroke" with people in the back ... get it? he had stroke, influence, with people in the back. He won with the stroke ... YOU JUST DON'T GET IT! He should rename the move, "The Shares he holds in this f***ed up company mean he can still come in and win in the main event despite being out of the company for three years." Imagine Don West calling it. Besides that, it could also refer to the stroke of his guitar. This is why Jarrett is called "Triple J", due to him being WCW/TNA's equivalent of Triple H. |

The finisher has been garbage forever. I will always fondly remember it as one of Jericho rotating finishers. Meh. It looked moderately okay the first time I saw it in 1990 as one of Brian Christopher's finishers (Jarrett was feuding with him at the time), though even Christopher's version looked like shit when he did it to someone much bigger than him (which was most opponents). |

Say what you will about The Sandman but he knew how to do a proper Russian leg sweep variant. The front version has always looked shit to me. Even the full-nelson facebuster is more miss than hit.
The Stroke is one of the only moves in this day and age that I feel guys need to suck it up and take harder. Turn your head sideways and just take the front bump. It looks horrible when you use your hands to brace.

 You're right. It's better laying down. Or have somebody else do it for you. |
