Sometimes there’s a performer that just adds a little something to a standard move that takes it from a regular move to something that could be a finisher…

Like Athena, I’ve been catching up on Final Battle and God damn her shotgun drop kick looks like the most vicious and impactful run of the mill move out there right now. I don’t know if it’s just her frame and the way she looks when she bends her legs in or if she’s just had great camera angles but ever since she went with this aggressive heel angle it’s been one of the nastiest looking moves on TV.

Who has or had a move like that for you?

    Also gonna say

    Kairi has the best elbow in the business and it’s all in how she flings her legs up, it’s a great visual.

    Samoa Joe’s powerslam has a snap to it that defies his size and always catches me off guard.

      I’ve only seen Kairi’s elbow a few times but holy hell is it a thing of beauty.

        Joe’s damn near everything is crisp to be fair lol.

        I forget if it was NXT or when he first came to AEW or what, but I remember so many people online talking about how fat he was looking and how he was fucking done. Man is still killing people weekly and looking fantastic.

          To be fair that was me when I first saw him in TNA, I remember the “Joe’s gonna kill you” chants and the bloody towel and thinking this guy looks like he’s one step up from a jobber. First muscle buster blew my mind.

            That first MB we see blows all our minds. Such a good looking move.
