Getting Noticed By Management
For those of you who saw the WWEWHC match at the Royal Rumble, yoou will remember the amazing moment where Rollins went to the top rope and performed a corkscrew moonsault on John Cena. The move was really impressive. Yesterday on Raw, Cole interviewed Seth about this move, and Rollins called it "the Phoenix Splash".
Even though the move looks amazing, it also seems dangerous, and here comes my question. Should Seth start using this move on a more regular basis? Maybe as a second signature, or a second finisher, switching between the Curb Stomp and the Phoenix Splash? From a logic standpoind, if the opponent is laying on their back, he would use the splash, otherwise he would use the stomp. Or, should he use this move on very very special occasions, like others use maybe the piledriver?
I will make a reference to a match between Cm Punk and John Cena on Raw in 2013. Both men went out of their usual 5 moves of doom and they used a piledriver and a powerbomb respectively. It made the match so match better, because those are two moves that we don't usually see, at least not out of these two guys.
What if Seth used the PS let's say 3-4 times per year? We know that the move is there, but only used in high-profile critical situations, making it even more high-risk and raising the stakes, highlighting the importance of the moment. I believe it would be a really cool moment if he won his WM match or his cash-in match with a CS, followed by the PS.
EDIT: Of course, all of the above about performing a move very rarely comes from WWE's wrestling style, where now if you use a finishing move, your opponent is probably gonna kick out, so it's not a finishing move. Having very rare go-to moves, instead of trying to perform the same finisher all the time, seems like a really nice way to have a match ended for sure.
I think that Seth should have this move as a very rare go-to move. Same as Sheamus has the celtic cross. It really creates tension.
