He broke Yoshi Tatsu's neck with it and then Naito was like "give me an Avalanche Style's Clash" cause he's real cool.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



The styles clash is the worst kind of finisher because it’s both unsafe and looks like poo poo. If you’re going to be unsafe, it better look loving cool.

Same, and I think it's the setup that does it for me.


Obviously it looks low impact as hell (unless some poor soul is getting their neck destroyed), but the way he transitions it into a pin looks really cool.

I totally popped when Kaz did it to one of the Jacksons recently.

The Styles Clash is cool actually, there appears to have been a gas leak in this thread today. Me and the rest of the staff have been hard at work to fix it, please check back in within the hour.

Seeing how over the move is with Japanese fans where they still act like it's death anytime someone pills it out, I think the "looks like poo poo" line is a bit odd.

I've kicked out of every styles clash I ever withstood, what a weak move. I kick out of every move and always win because i'm very strong.

I’m willing to admit I may be an outlier on this, I’ve just never liked the move and don’t like how it looks.

Styles is unquestionably a great performer otherwise, just don’t care for that move or similar ones like the neutralizer or that one Riddle does.

Brasky used to ride upon a steed, perchance to spy a lady.

The Styles Clash looks good when someone like Christopher Daniels takes it. Someone who sells well. As long as it looks impactful, it works well.

The problem is it doesn't always look impactful, even when the execution is technically fine.

Compare it to Death Rider or even a standard piledriver.

what if you put someone in styles clash position and stand there but slam their head into the mat over and over until they give up our pass out. Probably can't do it

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
The wrestling observer best move of 2003 and 2015, the styles clash, is great.

There's plenty of moves where you need to flex, not tuck, it's the arm trapping that's dangerous. But the move is cool.

Russian leg sweep is the best wrestling move.

Lithuanian leg sweep is the worst wrestling move.

My nit-noid with the Styles Clash is when the opponent taking the move just casually wraps their arms around Styles' legs while they're upside down like it's no big deal. Cena was especially blatant with it during their match at SummerSlam '16. I get that we're supposed to suspend our disbelief but :cmon:

I once watched a compilation of vertebreakers and came to the conclusion that the vertebreak whips rear end.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I omce saw some f grade indy clip which featured a tag team finisher of one guy doing the vertebreaker while hos tag team partner gave the guy a schwein at the same time. It was the most dangerous move ive ever seen where everything looked to be going as planned
