Favorites
1. Evenflow/Roberts DDT - Both men have an excellent handle on the move and deliver it perfectly.
2. Shining Wizard and variations - Seriously, a good looking shining wizard makes my heart stop. A great one in the corner where the guy actually climbs the ropes before throwing the knee makes me wanna jump up for whomever does it. Execution is the key.
3. Vertebreaker - This is one of those moves that every time I see it, no matter who is doing it or taking it, it STILL comes out looking great. Once those arms are hooked and the spin is completed, it's like poetry in motion.
Honorable mentions
Black Hole Slam - I've always been a fan of Bossman and seeing Abyss execute the move with a Hell of a spin always makes me smile.
Tiger Driver - Pick a friggin' year. You want ooh and ahh factor, pick a year where he dropped them directly on their neck. He has variations to please both kinds of fans. The one's who want to see a perfectly executed driver and a the fans who wanna see something that looks (and most likely is) extremely painful.
Worst
1. Swanton Bomb - Seriously, a forward roll, a friggin' forward roll. This makes new born baby Jesus cry.
2. The Playmaker has gotten more than enough votes, so I'll go with another, flying stomps of any kind. The only person who I saw do the flying stomp and it came off well was Brother Runt/LSD. The only reason it worked for him was because he was so small he didn't need to pull his knees on impact. Everyone else who uses this move to any part of the body gives the signature knee bend to make the move safe. If I can see what makes the move safe, I can't suspend belief and feel like he just crushed someone. Lo-Ki/Senshi, despite my complete love of watching him wrestle, made me hate this move. The corner variation did not help. The Warriors Way indeed. /rolls eyes
Full Nelson Butt Bomb - I feel like Kyle from South Park in the Conspiracy Theory episode when he and Stan are standing there talking to W. Poor Kyle just starts repeating one word over and over... Really? Really? Really? After having seen Brother Ray/Bubba Ray get a few victories with this move I felt sad. And I felt just like Kyle. Really? Really? Really?
Honorable mentions (If you wanna call them that)
Unprettier - From the start up lag to the fact that escape is a mere push of your arms away OR a pull of your arms away, this move always makes me think, he just doesn't get it.
Falcon Punch/Big Chop/Big Boot/Any silly looking big strike - If someone was delivering these moves and it looked great, I'd be completely for them. These are not Super Kicks or flying side kicks, or spinning wheel kicks... these are moves that upon connection they always make you groan a little on the inside. For me the Big Boot and the Falcon Punch are tied, followed by the Big Chop and then the rest of the big strikes. I couldn't stand the Hogan Big Boot, I can't stand the Undertaker Big Boot, I hated the Sid Vicious Big Boot, ect. Just having a guy run into your extended leg is lazy and uncreative in this day and age, yet we still see people doing it. For shame.
