[Ryback on a Pole!]

Never cared much for Bob Holly but his dropkick was fantastic.

No love for Paul London, I see.

I came here for the Paul London "Dropsault"!

[Scott]

Orton for me.

[Mozenrath]

A contender.

Bob Holly came to mind. Ortons was really good when he started. And maybe it's my imagination cause no ones brought it up but didn't Billy Gunn have a good dropkick?

I always found it funny how even when Orton was the hot young prospect, Taz would still struggle to call Orton's dropkick the best one in WWE and would always wrestle with himself to find a way to give Orton props while making it abundantly clear the Bob Holly is the standard bearer, which was pretty noble because Bob's stock wasn't very high anymore and it wasn't getting better anytime fast.

Billy Gunn had a good one, I believe. He definitely got height on it.

I swear I once saw a drop kick where the dude did back flip and landed on his feet. It might have been Elix Skipper. That dud was flexible AF.

[Toxik916]

Ziggler and it isn't even close. His drop kick looks like a finisher.

...tom zenk?

I don't really know, so many good ones. Okada and Holly are great picks, but I went to a TNA house show in 06 and AJ Styles gave what I swore was the greatest drop kick I'd ever seen, in a tag match with Daniels against Sabin and Lethal. He even yelled out "oh, I got you now" right when it happened. So great.

Orton.

[Magnus the Magnificent]

For a guy his size, Earthquake had a pretty sweet dropkick.

Quake's dropkick blew my mind as a kid.

[DragonMasterP]

My vote goes to anyone who can really spring their feet in the opponents face.

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

Almost forgot Jumbo Tsuruta.



I've not seen enough of his career to say whether or not his dropkicks were always of this quality. Especially since most of the matches I've seen were at the end of his prime during his feud with Misawa and the other pillars of AJPW (I REALLY want to see more of his teaming and subsequent feud with Tenryu, but I've had a harder time finding it), but still, dropkicking the near 7 foot tall Giant Baba in the face is impressive.

Who was the guy who could dropkick and land back on his feet? (I want to say Jay Lethal but cannot remember 100% if it was him I seen do it). Also that big guy who dropkicks 2 people (one with each foot)

[Hickster]

Skip "Sweet Brown Sugar" Young

[chronocross]

Koko B.Ware had a damn good dropkick also:

I always preferred front drop kicks like the ones Jazz/Gail/AJ Lee did.

But London's dropsault is a thing of beauty (Naomi does a slight variant too).
