Guest TheCrowCall Report post Posted July 16, 2003 In an idea taken from HartFan86, I wanted to ask everyone here for ideas on names for my primary finishers in my own backyard wrestling federation. I go under the wrestling name, "The Crow", and am an arrogant heel, very similar to Chris Jericho's character in WCW. My two primary finishers are The Flatliner and the Dragon Sleeper. The names that I have for them so far are "The Crow Call" (for the Flatliner) and "The Crow's Nest" (for the Dragon Sleeper). I came upon HartFan's thread and wanted to ask around here and see if anyone could come up with better names that don't have my character's name in the name of the move. Thanks very much to all who reply. ~ Pac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 I'll try to help you out. Do you have a catchphrase at all? Do you talk at all? I'm trying to think of something related to a "crow", but nothing is coming to my head right now. I'll try to think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Change the Flatliner to Carrion. It's a type of crow, and thusly goes right along with your name but does not have your name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheCrowCall Report post Posted July 16, 2003 HartFan: I really don't have any type of catchphrase, but I do talk in my matches (talking trash to opponents and the referee) and I cut promos on occasion. As my Crow character, I hail from Canada and will from now on be announced as "The Canadian Sensation, The Crow" when I enter for matches, if that helps at all with thinking of names for the moves. Lightning Flik: Very awesome name, I'm definitely gonna be using that from now on as the name of my Flatliner. ~ Pac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 I think Carrion is good for the Flatliner, but you should relate something to Canada for the Lion Tamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 16, 2003 For your submission move, may I suggest also "Chinook"? It's a type of weather. Sounds silly, but about only thing I can can come up with for Canadian besides: Dragon Sleeper -> Vexing Lynx. Since Lynx is a mountain lion that makes it's home in most parts of North America (hence apart of the cat breed) you can use a play on words and have that as your submission finisher. You know, your vexing the lynx. Causing iratation to your opponent. ...yah, it isn't that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 How about "Canadian Stampede?" That was really fucking corny, lol. Hmm....I'd say Canadian Maple Leaf, but Storm has that..even though he really doesn't use it anymore. I'll be back.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 How about you call your finishers the Wing Span(Dragon Sleeper) Bird Call (Flatliner) and the Canadian Crab for the Lion Tamer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 16, 2003 How about you call your finishers the Wing Span(Dragon Sleeper) Bird Call (Flatliner) and the Canadian Crab for the Lion Tamer? Ok. Even I gotta admit that Wing Span sounds cool. Bird Call is decent. And Canadian Crab? Hm... Don't think that'll catch on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Your a Jerichoish character and your name is THE CROW. God Backyarders are so fucking un-creative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Your a Jerichoish character and your name is THE CROW. God Backyarders are so fucking un-creative. Backyard wrestlers are morons anyway. If you have no training whatsoever, you shouldn't even contemplate it. I have a few months worth of training and I'm still a little anxious anytime I'm delivering a slightly risky move. I'm fine taking them, because I can rely upon myself, but I don't want to hurt anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Prototype450 Report post Posted July 19, 2003 I don't think caboose and choken one should just insult the guy when he's just asking for feedback on his finisher names. That's a little mean don't ya think? And Lighting Flik, I'm trying man. He wanted something to do with canada and his move was a LionTamer. It was the best I could come up with. Wait............how about the um.......aww fuck it I can't think of anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrnoitaull 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 OK, how about my friend goes by the name "Kountdown" finishers:Half Nelson to Rock Bottom,Stunner and Frog Splash The only name I could come up with is "The Ball drop" for the rock bottom any ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your friend. Alright. Firstly, I'm not sure if the Half Nelson is into the Rock Bottom. If so, then I'd call it Enumerated Reckoning. As for the Stunner, leave it as is. Sorry, but EVERYONE will still call it Stunner. Shit, I still do, even though it might be called something different by another wrestler (Gilbertti). As for the Frog Splash make it Sum Total. Not that created really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tod deKindes Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Being retired from the SWF, I have no objections to letting the names "Spirit Breaker", "Silent Scream" and "DVX" being used in backyard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted July 25, 2003 I remember toying around with finishing move names back in the day. Playing off my last name, I had the Hardaway Down ('99-Bossman Slam, '01-Double Underhook Rock Bottom, and '02-Double Underhook Rock Bottom to a Faceplant) and the HarDriver-sit out piledriver.
