Moves you really like

So, instead of hating on everything as usual, everywhere on the interwebs basically, I thought some positivity would be nice.

 

I'm asking myself, are there moves that are generally loved, or almost generally? What moves do you specifically love seeing, or hearing sometimes?

 

For example, the first one that comes to my mind is the, as it is now called, Phenomenal forearm. I loved seeing it back in TNA, soved it ever since and am SO hyped that it has now become his finishing move, although I really liked the Styles Clash as a visual as well.

Couple of classics here that never disappoint -- Arn's spinebuster and Jumbo's lariat. Hansen's gets a lot of love, but Jumbo always seemed to punctuate his in such brutal fashion. Just terrific impact.

 

Not sure that I'd attribute it to any particular wrestler, but I always pop for a suplex that follows a real struggle to execute the move. Whether German, buttefly, vertical or otherwise it almost doesn't matter. Teasing the block before finally getting an opponent up for great impact on the bump is just a great visual and hopefully audio as well.

I'm a huge mark for a brainbuster. If you have a dope looking brainbuster, I'm probably a fan of yours.

 

Someone brought up the slingshot suplex, I want the next hot, young blue chipper to come in and use a slingshot jackhammer as a finisher. Too bad he'll use a spear or another version of the complete shot.

Pretty much every Midnight Express finisher. Veg-o-Matic > Double Goozle > Gravedigger > Rocket Launcher > Flapjack.

This is probably a ridiculous request, but can you describe those? I've watched plenty of Midnight Express, but other than the Rocket Launcher and Flapjack I don't think I can name any of their finishers.

Cattle Branding. There were a few wrestlers who used to do it but Dick Murdoch is the guy I saw do it the most. Someone should have stolen that and used it in the 2000s while everyone else was busy stealing moves from Japanese wrestlers.

^ That. Cattle Branding is so awesome.

 

I love Tiger Mask's German Suplex. He gets such a high arch on it. It's very graceful, yet has a lot of impact at the same time.

 

A good Northern Lights Suplex is a sight to behold. That move doesn't get used nearly enough anymore.

 

On the suplex tip, I've soured on Tiger and Dragon suplexes. Too often, the victim kinda slides into the bump and it just doesn't look as nasty as those moves should be.

 

Arn's Spinebuster is a thing of beauty, especially when it's used as a cutoff move.

Hiroyoshi Tenzan does that move all the time. Akiyama does a variation of it as well. Maybe some other japanese wrestlers I'm forgetting do it too.

What kind of post-modern shit is that when Japanese wrestlers steal moves from the Americans? That's not how it's supposed to work.
