The Rock the People's Elbow. Also, is the Big Show doing ok health wise? He's getting up there in years, and I know he has the same condition as Andre the Giant (I think). Did he have some surgery to correct the problems Andre had or is he going to wind up the same way?

crankdatbatman posted:The Rock the People's Elbow. Yeah he had surgery when he was a kid (I think?) that didn't exist until it was too late to do Andre any good. When Andre was Big Show's age he was already pretty much crippled. Also yeah the people's elbow was kinda dumb (but in an entertaining way) but he also had the Rock Bottom which was OK. edit: OK Andre was Big Show's age in 1984 so I dunno if his health had declined much at that point but still, Big Show is most likely on track to last a good long time.

So, I guess in JJ Dillon's shoot interview, he said that Russo once tried to find out how much it would cost to bribe a fire marshal because he he wanted to burn the arena down on live television. That cannot be true, can it? Oh wait, Russo.

Thankfully it appears MVP is now using the Paydirt, which while kinda dumb is still a better move.

I always hated the Fame-asser but Mr. rear end never ever got over. He should have a finisher called "The Promo Cutter" that he could never pull off correctly.

People's Elbow was not a finisher. Like the five knuckle shuffle is not a finisher. And no bad finisher discussion can be complete without the 619.

Am I wrong to think the paydirt is exactly the same as getting the other guy to Rock Bottom you?

What's the best suplex? I submit that it is William Regal's half Nelson exploder.

The RegalPlex- The weird hybrid of bridged belly to back and a fisherman's suplex. Danielson does it sometimes and Regal used to do it regularly.

Shawn Michael's old Teardrop Suplex finisher. It just looked so elegant and so simple. There was no ellaborate setup required, he just had to get the guy's arm over his shoulder, and BAM! Out of almost nowhere, you could nail it on any guy, no matter how much he weighed.

It wasn't a finisher, he just used it to win matches against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8, and win the WWF title from Triple H at Backlash 2000. You know, just 2 of the biggest matches in his entire career. And by comparison, I've seen Cena win 1 match in his entire career with the Five Knuckle Shuffle, and it was against Orlando Jordan AFTER he hit the FU.

crankdatbatman posted:The Rock the People's Elbow. Yeah, Big Show is doing much better than Andre was at his age. You can tell just by looking at pictures. Big Show looks like a relatively proportionate guy, but if you look at Andre, his face and hands are HUGE compared to the rest of him. Take a look at Khali if you want to see a current example. Then again, Khali is probably doing better than Andre too, even though his acro went unchecked so long, because he takes care of himself, working out and all, in a way that Andre never did. I'm willing to bet Andre in his prime could drink Big Show and Khali under the table at the same time, though.

You know, just 2 of the biggest matches in his entire career. I always thought it was having a crack at Hulk Hogan's leg drop. hulk up...Hulk Up...HULK UP! Belt him with a series of punches until they fall down, then drop a leg on their head. Why this worked, I will never know. I guess Rocky just figured if a leg drop works...why not an elbow drop?

crankdatbatman posted:The Rock the People's Elbow. Isn't the story with the people's elbow that a heel rock had an interview earlier in the night, where he bragged that he was going to debut the most electrifying, jaw-dropping awesome move you will ever see! Then he came out and did a stupid little run and a simple elbow drop. The fans however, didn't get what was going on, and the place went banana.

The Rock was kinda lovely in the ring anyway (sorry, "low impact"), so it doesn't really matter if he finished matches off with a standing elbow drop every once in a while.

When I first saw the People's Elbow, I assumed it was a tongue-in-cheek move to be a bit of an insult to the opponent. The majority of times I remember seeing it, it was usually after a Rock Bottom anyway. I figured the Rock Bottom knocked the guy out and the People's Elbow was like kicking them when they were down. Though as the years went on, I guess the Elbow was sometimes used alone in knocking people out.

Yes the Rock was "lovely" in that if you stopped and dispassionately looked at his style and execution and technical ability he wasn't very good. Nobody ever did that, though, because everyone was too busy being absolutely loving enthralled in every single little thing he did. Similar to Hogan, one of the worst "wrestlers" ever but nobody gave a poo poo because he was so charismatic/entertaining and dragged the crowd along for the ride.

I can only stand a match comprised entirely of bad-by-wrestling-standards looking punches for so long.
