When did the commentators start referring to it as Sweet Chin Music?
At the 1993 Rumble, it was called a "patented crescent kick".
Come to think of it, its an odd name for it. The "chin" part is obvious, but music? It's not as if his gimmick was a musician...
Anyone know how it got the name?

I always figured that the whole "Hearbreak Kid" character was based off of late 80s, early 90s Pop stars like George Michaels, so the connection was always there for me...

HBK started calling it that after he saw Roger Clemens give someone a brush back pitch and the commentators called it "sweet chin music"

At the 1993 Rumble, it was called a "patented crescent kick". at that point in his career, his finisher was still that modified Back Suplex that was in the Sega/SNES wrestling games..... so it made sense that it wouldn't have a name. After the suplex he started using a piledriver as a finisher, before finally settling on the superkick. I'm pretty sure he started calling it SCM after his '95 Rumble win, and leading into WM |

sweet chin music = a hard fastball near the chin of a batter in baseball
I always thought the name was pretty sweet.

Nash had also told him that he should use his superkick as his finisher since he thought it was his best move and Shawn agreed. *goes back to watching Stan selling like a champ in her icon* |

But if he kicks you in the chest or the neck (as I've seen him do in the past), would you call it "sweet chest music" or "sweet neck music"? Cause "sweet neck music" doesn't sound good. |

I always thought it was named after the smack (the "music") of Shawn's boot on the chin of his opponent.
