Dreamboat Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Really, I always hated that move. Who does a good one? I always remember it looking like the person giving the move hitting the ground first and breaking the fall of the person taking it. It's on the list with all of the complete shot/downward spiral/reverse STO moves that don't look that devastating to me. I wouldn't know if this is how he always does it, but Negro Casas hit a really sweet looking one on Soberano in a singles match from April. Casas kind of fell slowly backwards, almost like he was rolling back rather than falling, whilst at the same time actively pulling Soberano down by tugging the back of his mask. 100% looked like Soberano was hitting the mat hard and Casas wasn't.

NintendoLogic Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I think the Russian legsweep works best as a setup for the Octagon Special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I think it's best when done into the guardrail, a la Raven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkix Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I always liked when a Northern Lights suplex hold was the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Speaking of the Russian Legsweep, one of my biggest wrestling bubble burst moments was finding out it's actually extremely cool and also dangerous and banned in Judo: Giant Baba used the Uki Waza, a Judo throw that looks exactly like a Russian Leg Sweep Well, I don't remember Baba's Legsweep looking anything like Uki Waza, could just be a neologism or the meaning of the name shifting like it did in Uranage with Hase.

Hegs Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 The brainbuster and I dont know the name of the move but I know Koloff and Murdoch used it where they had their opponent in the corner, climbed up and put their knee on the guy's neck and drove it into the mat.

Richeyedwards Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 A simple pointed elbow drop, not a diving elbow drop or multiple jumping elbow drops to a downed opponent but the wrestler lining up an elbow drop to the throat of the downed opponent sort of like how dibiase or earthquake used to do.

Abdullah's pointed elbow drop was a thing of great beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
