What moves do you "MARK" out for...

[Guest Coffey]

I 'mark' out for pretty much any top rope splash. I was a huge Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka 'mark' when I was younger. I'm also a fan of RVD 5-star Frog Splash, Eddie Guerrero's Frog Splash & Val Venis's Money Shot. I liked when Rikishi would come off the top as well. He used to do it all the time when he was the Sultan.

 

I also 'mark' for the DDT as a finish I.E. Raven & Jake Roberts. I'm a huge fan of tag team finishers as well. Especially if they are innovative like the 3D & Problem Solver.

 

I like Piledrivers, only if they are a finisher or working over a neck though. Just a random Piledriver thrown into a match sucks. Same can be said for Powerbombs.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Nice sunglasses.

 

... on Power and Glory, that is.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I sadly mark out for the Hogan Combo...(hulk up, finger point, 3 punches, boot, legdrop). Dunno why, I just do.

 

Whenever Molly's on camera...and even better, when she goes for and/or hits the Molly Go Round.

 

I marked for the Lesnar SSP...even though he f'd it up...

 

I mark for Angle's "Run up the turnbuckles and catch the guy on the top rope" suplexes.

 

I mark for the Spinaroonie.

 

I mark for Rock's Stunner sell...

 

I mark for Hurricane and anything fun he does...plus when he pulls the Vertibreaker out of NOWHERE.

 

I mark for well done double team impact moves (Most of Team Angle's stuff, the 3D...)

 

There's probably some other things too...but it's 2:15 AM here...

[Guest Nathan_Avara]

In the WWE,

 

Kurt Angle's moonsault, Hurricane's Shining Wizard and Eddy Guerrero's powerbomb.

 

In the indys,

 

Paul London - The London Calling (SSP)

 

Chris Daniels - The Angel's Wings

 

Low Ki - Kicks right in the FACE~!

 

And, last but certainly not least....STORM...CRADLE...DRIVER~!

[Guest Kid Kablam]

I remember when CHris Benoit actually stopped doing his snap suplex for a little while. When he brought it out again, I marked out like never before.

 

Well done chops

sunset powerbomb

Madible CLaw

Gore

Splash mountain

Savage Elbow

[Garth 0]

I also mark for the Angle Slam, especially off the top rope.

[Guest papacita]

Kurt's Ankle lock...especially when he grapevined it on Benoit at the Rumble.

[Crimson Platypus 0]

Yeah, Bundy's 5 count ruled, I was just thinking last night that TBS should be doing that. Others:

 

Shining Wizard

Northern Lights Pin

Diamond Cutter

Anything Kanyon does (Who better?)

Not really a move but I loved it when Foley would be yell stuff like "TAKE THAT" when he punched people.

[Guest Damn You Helmsley]

Rock over-selling the Stunner, the Gore, the Regal Cutter, top rope Angle Slam, Bret Hart's Sharpshooter and the Figure Four.

[Guest jester]

I mark out on those rare occasions when Jericho busts out the real Walls of Jericho, when the victim is far more vertical and Jericho plants his knee on the neck.

 

I think the last person to take it like that was Trish Stratus, of all people.

[Guest papacita]

Speaking of Trish, I mark for her Matrix thing and "Chick Kick".

[Guest brotheryossinomark]

laritooooooo

cima's shotei "venus"

tokyo magnum's junk shaking frakensteiner of the top

norman smiley's top rope northern lights with bridge on landing (did it once when he was in a three way in ecw against milenko)

benoit swan dive head BUTT

hector garza corkscrew plancha on to floor

roaring elbow

bastion booger sit down splach

salvatore valentino's triple fliping northern lights (think of it as a northern lights chaos thery done 3 times- saw it at a local show-unreal)

kobashi chop fury

[PsychoDriver 0]

Common moves I mark for:

 

Rolling German Suplex

Perfect Plex

Super Kick (No Matter by who as long as it's done correctly)

Headscissors

Ranas

Yakuza Kick

Asai Moonsault

Move #273.... Arm Bar

Springboard Dropkick

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Moves I mark out for:

 

Christian's diving reverse DDT

Superkicks

the 450 Splash

Angle's pop-up Superplex

[Guest godthedog]

and i mark out for kobashi's no-selling.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i forgot 'bout Eddie's swanton thing he does from the apron to the ring, especially when he does it on a ladder, i don' know how he isn't dead yet

[Guest Lil Naitch]

With all of the Armbar references, I'm thinking they need to release a Jericho DVD from his WCW days so us newbies can relive that angle.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I fucking love The Haas Of Pain. Especially when Eddie was contorted in it the other week. He should beat everyone with that.

[Guest MrHell]

I make no bones about the fact that I'm a submission mark. The fact that I've recently started digging MMA hasn't halped matters. Of course, I do have my favorites:

 

La Ayakita

Haas of Pain

Ringpost figure 4 (Naturally)

La Reniera

Katagatame (does any wrestler use this one?)

Crossface Chickenwing

Stretch Plum

Any submission hold - usually done by someone in Toryumon or Mariko Yoshida - that's freakin impossible to describe, but you know hurts like a bitch.

 

I also mark out for complete dickishness in matches. Stuff like Otani's bootscrapes, grabbing the top rope while you've got someone in an abdominal stretch, picking your opponent's head up of the mat instead of getting a 3-count, and the aforementioned ~ARRONGANT COVER~ always make my day.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I do wonder why no-one in the US ever thieved the stretch plum.

[Guest MrHell]

Actually, Chavo busted it out on Smackdown back before his Los Guerreros days.

[Guest notJames]

Owen Hart's belly-to-belly off an Irish whip. No one has been able to duplicate it to perfection, and I think it should stay that way.

 

Phil LaFon's inverted superplex

 

Chris Daniels/Mikey Whipreck's Devil Bomb

 

Malenko and Saturn's double team backbreaker/knee from the top rope

 

and of course…

 

CANADIAN VIOLENCE~! (that one's for all you SKeith haters out there)

[Guest NoCalMike]

I mark for the Van-Daminator, especially now when it is a rarity to see it. I also would like to see the split-legged moonsault make a comeback with RVD.

 

I always liked Taz's suplexes. The Head & Arm suplex on Mikey Whipreck that they used for the show's intro was just brutal.

 

I always marked out for 2 Cold Scorpio's tumbleweed and various other top rope moves. I liked the fact that you never knew which one he was gonna do next. Or if he would make a new one.

[Guest EternallyLazy]

Savages elbow drop, Lesnar's shooting star press (from ovw not wrestlemania lol), the Anglesault, and Angle's selling of the stone cold stunner where it's executed and instead of flying backwards automatically, he pops up, has a glazed look in his eyes and just falls backwards to the mat

[Guest BAR]

The simple things, mainly when they're done in Jr. matches...

 

Tiger Suplex (Pinning)

Dragon Suplex (Pinning)

 

I really don't know why.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Malenko and Saturn's double team backbreaker/knee from the top rope

How that move didn't become the number one tag team finisher in the US I will never know. Fuck, just, fuck.

 

 

Chavo using the stretch plum would be nice, I think they need to have a submission finisher for the majority of smackdown talent (not taker) so they can diversify the reversal sequences in the tag matches.

[Guest Army Eye]

Scott Steiner's Steiner Screwdriver

Chris Jericho's Liontamer

HHH's Pedigree

Kurt Angle's heelhook and Angle Slam

Figure-four leglock. anyone

Victoria's Widow's Peak

Curt Hennig's Perfect-Plex

Raven's Evenflow DDT

 

Just about any move that Christopher Daniels does. That guy is awesome.

 

Lil Naitch a Jericho in WCW DVD would be tremendous. Great matches.. even greater promos... only trouble is, it would reveal that Jericho has never reached his full potential in WWE

[King Cucaracha 0]

The Van Daminator, and RVD when he hits the Van Terminator.

Tajiri's kicks.

The Beverly Brothers move Team Angle does.

Super Styles Clash.

Cradle Piledriver, especially in the days of the banned piledriver.

619 round the post.

Los Guerreros cheating in a match.

Bigelow when he countered the Tazmissions by falling backwards, and they fell through the ring. That was quality.

Of course, the RVD suicide plancha into the crowd from ECW.

 

And if it counts, any move that looks really brutal. If it looks like it connects, and it's a decent move, and it's sold right, I'll mark out.

[EL DANDY~! 0]

107 replies...AND NO MENTION OF KEIJI MUTOH'S POWER DRIVE ELBOW? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? My brother and I both concur...that is the greatest elbowdrop outside of Bret's.

 

In the WWE

 

RVD's Five-Star and Van Terminator

Benoit's Flying Headbutt and Chops

Flair's Flop and the thumb to the eye...along with the usual.

Angle's Pop-up Suplex/Angle Slam

Eddy's Froggy Splash and his MDK Powerbomb

Tajiri's kick to the noggin and his ode to Shocker La Reinara.

[Crimson Platypus 0]

One that I forgot to mention, I always mark out for the green mist!
