Nobody ever sets up and delivers a shoulder breaker like that, no wonder it looked awkward. I seems like Molly was going for a tombstone then realised "woah, I can't steal that", instead improvising a sloppy shoulder breaker.

I mean, shows how damn good Molly is that she was able to salvage that, but I wonder if she was trying to go for something unique and it just was too awkward. That happens, I guess, when you go for the unorthodox. Sometimes you discover no one's doing it that way because it doesn't work.

Even if it was messy, Molly still performed it in a way where Trish was ok and landed safely
Compare this to Nia's botched shoulderbreaker on Charlotte where after delivering the move, she dropped Charlotte in a way that could have lead to a head/neck injury, but thankfully didn't...
Shows how much of a pro Molly always has been.

Hmm what makes you think she was going for a Tombstone vs just a Shoulderbreaker the whole time?

The best workers put safety first, and Molly is no exception.

Hmm what makes you think she was going for a Tombstone vs just a Shoulderbreaker the whole time? Just based on never having seen a shoulder breaker performed that way before. Normally the opponent is scooped up more onto the shoulder, like a powerslam. However, watching it again a few times, it seems another possible move Holly was going for was a kinda modified tilt a whirl side slam, similar to what Test used to do. Molly scoops up Trish with good momentum and it looks like she is going to swing her around to her left side. Trish hooks her arms around Molly, breaking that momentum, and Molly just goes for a shite looking shoulder breaker instead. I could be wrong, of course, and maybe just over analysing and over thinking it.

The guy holding up the WHAT sign in the background is a happy accident.

Whatever she was going for there, it looks to me like Trish locked her hands too soon.

I love the body language of "right how can I salvage this without killing her Japanese style"
And she did it!!! The absolute madwoman.

I've seen the tilt a whirl into th shoulder breaker like that before. Molly has her too low, or Trish locks her hands before Molly managed to get her up higher... or both.

I thought the initial height was good for the move then Trish slipped down a bit I think

This is like the third place I've seen this clip posted. Is there some reason it's all of a sudden circulating so much?

Reminds me of Unabomb (Kane) giving Undertaker a powerbomb:

It looks like she wanted to do a tombstone but then knew it would require a trip to Wrestler's Court, possibly be forced to change in a supply closet in arenas.

It's a pretty unremarkable clip. Move almost goes wrong but then doesn't. Maybe OP is that guy who ran that weird "Nora Greenwald is a slut" stalker website?
