Guest Trivia247 Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 Ok Is a Top Rope Hurricanrana, when one jumps off the turnbuckles and Hurricanrana's the other guy OR Is it perching a guy on the turnbuckles and Hurricanrana him off? if not what do you call them?
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 The latter. I believe the former would just be a leaping Hurricanrana.
Guest big Dante Cruz Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 The former is a hurricarana from the top, the other is a top rope hurricarana.
Guest Incandenza Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 Just for my own personal use, when one guy ranas another guy perched on the top, I call it a frankensteiner. I don't think it makes a difference, but that's how I go about it.
Guest deadbeater Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 No no. A Frankensteiner is when tori (the receiver, NOT the former Terri Power) runs into uke (the thrower), and uke times the backflip to grab his head. Best move ever.
Guest PlatypusFool Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 EH? I didn't understand a word of that... The Frankensteiner is a name for the finisher done by Scott Steiner back when he and Rick were still a tag team. He sat the opponent on the top and did a 'rana on them to the mat. Calling this move the frankensteiner when it isn't done by Scott Steiner is like calling the uranage the rock bottom when it's done by someone who isn't The Rock; it's simply incorrect!
Guest razazteca Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 Hurricana is only when a person is pinned with the move, so the 1st one Rey Misterio Jr style!!!!! 2nd one would just be a spotfest move
Guest deadbeater Posted July 29, 2002 Report Posted July 29, 2002 Scott Steiner didn't use to plant a person on the top rope; he whips them to the ropes and catches them on the rebound. Only later, roided and all, does he plant them to the top first.

I'll call a rock bottom a rock bottom when I see one, regardless of who performs it. ::thinks to self:: Damn, there goes any chance I have of being hip with the DVDVR crowd.
Guest Singular Posted July 29, 2002 Report Posted July 29, 2002 What does the term "avalanche style" mean when it comes to top rope moves? I have seen the term "avalanche stlye hurricanrana" used in match descriptions. Is there a difference between Lyger's avalanche style brainbuster, and a top rope brainbuster?
Guest eiker_ir Posted July 29, 2002 Report Posted July 29, 2002 i think i read here not too long ago, that "avalanche" something is when the move is from the top rope..........like avalanche brainbuster is the same as top rope brainbuster.......... i could be wrong i'm not sure...

Im waiting to see on NWA TNA to see someone call a Rockbottom a Uranaga or a Soviet Judo Suplex. I'll hold my breath till I turn blue.
Guest PlatypusFool Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Ah move names, so pointless to argue over... The fact is that, when writing a review or a post or whatever, if people know what move you are talking about then it's a satisfactory name, surely.
