I appreciate the coincidence of this thread starting at about the same place that my NJPW Recommendation Review Thread ended.

To me, Hayabusa's SSP botch was kind of poetic. A clear symbol of his reach exceeding his grasp. At the time, Liger was the only person who had done a Shooting Star Press, and the story of the match is Hayabusa trying, and failing, to show he's on Liger's level. By attempting the SSP he's trying to show that he can also do what only Liger can, and by botching the move, it reveals that despite his ambition and best efforts, he's not there yet.
