Book End.

Thread Over.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

The Annexation of Puerto Rico- "The Puerto Rican Nightmare" Eric Perez's finisher in Deep South Wrestling.

[The Line]

Batista Bomb.
Tazzmission.

any move that has the wrestlers name in it, other than London Calling, 'cause thats just cool.

I personally think that it's genius, but some people don't like the Barry White Driver

[NIXON]

I always thought the Polish Hammer was not a good name. I figured is was some sort of joke at the expense of Polls, like Polish people are too stupid to use actual hammers, so they run at nails and pound them with their fists.

"Dead Level" is when something is completely level, it's 'dead level'. But yeah, not good for a brainbuster.

Visagra is a terrible name for a terrible move. They should have made fun of TNA and called it "Hard Justice" or "Bound for Glory" or "Slammiversary". Okay, that last one doesn't fit, but neither does Viscera so I guess it works.

Bound for Glory!!! That'd make a good name for a Viscera move. Dirty, dirty minds.

No, now it's the "Royal Book End" so it's even dumber.

What about "Norman Conquest" or "Haas of Pain"? Those i think are ok, but my vote for the three worst name based finishers are "Nightmare on Helms Street" "Mizard of Oz" and "Total Nonstop Alex" (hahhahahahah look at me being clever as i do a move that's almost as unsettling as the Visagra)


Dead Level actually doesn't work as a name at all because it refers to something that's completely horizontal, whereas a vertical brainbuster is...well...vertical.

Scar was actually referring to Matt's knee injury and subsequent surgery (seeing as how it's a leglock and all), but i do agree that it can be taken out of context now and sounds pretty stupid.

and I disagree on the badness of calling a superkick "Sweet Chin Music"

here's why.

(official Wikipedia definition)
In cricket, a delivery that is aimed at the batsman's throat or chin.
(end official definition)

This has also been adapted to baseball as jargon for when a brushback pitch is thrown at a batter's head area.

So, since the superkick is a kick at the throat or chin, it makes plenty of sense. And then the modifier "sweet" is thrown on there cause it fits in with HBK's gimmick (kinda, i know that's a weak part of the arguement)

What no Backcracker mention?

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

I actually like the backcracker, although I'd like it to be something a bit more Carlito specific.

[Chris Decker-The Wild Rover]

dreamer driver, i like it as the scipolli driver much better

Why all the Kendrick hate? I love the names for his moves. I mark for Dr. Smoothe's Secret Recipe.

Aren't the Dreamer Driver and Spicolli/Death Valley Driver different moves?
The Dreamer Driver was Tommy's version of Emerald Frosion if I recall correctly.

i like it when i can remember what the move looks like when i hear the name. i wont remember what electric mayhem looks like but i will remember what dropsault is. im not dissing him tho i really enjoy him but his move names are just out there
