Also what's funny is that Russel Brand was practically wearing the same thing that male wrestlers wear in the ring. Yes, but it was Russel Brand. Is this better? |

I love suplexes. I don't know why, I just like the choreography, the trajectory of the moves and the way the wrestlers work in concert to execute them. Double underhooks, regular suplexes, and the gutwrench which may be my favorite wrestling maneuver of all time.
I think two other factors affect this: For one thing, I had dozens of WWF Superstars figures as a kid (those are the big rubbery LJN figures from the 80s that many of you have seen or maybe owned when you were young) and they weren't poseable so you were basically stuck using awkward-looking strikes or whatever moves they were best posed to execute. Many of them were good at suplexes and slams. The other reason is because in the older days it seemed like there was more of an emphasis of building the pace of a match by using lots of amateur grappling moves such as suplexes and backdrops and I just plain miss that kind of wrestling.

I like the Pedigree, the Double Underhook DDT, Flat Liner, and RKO.
I also really like suplexes.

I had a taker, Austin, and chyna one. I remember I put them draped over a lamp to keep them still and kinda of display them. Well I came back to get them and they were melted. I remember them though they wre kinda posing like a star fish |

There's something about a well executed and good looking super kick that I love watching. Other than that probably an Indian death lock

Kobashi did it well and safely, and he was the only one who could on a regular basis. far too dangerous of a move and should never be used." |

Actually I agree, Taz did some cool looking stuff. I just hate Taz so much 8)
Angle Slam though, I can't get behind. It's a stupid looking move.
Love the Burning Hammer though, it's probably in my top 5 coolest looking moves of all time. I don't want to see it from people who can't do it safely, but I still think it looks awesome.

*sigh* Now I have to go to youtube. $#@! you Joey 8) Hey, Joey... what're you working for a Finish? Depends but I use mainly a firemans carry dtt, arm trapped cravate, rarely a sitout suplex. I think I'm gonna start using the koji a lot more though. |
