Guest Anglesault Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 This past Monday, we saw Randy Orton deliver an absolutely craptastic superkick. To be fair, if he would have arched his back to do it correctly, he would have injured himself for eight months, but that shouldn't matter. Orton's superkick joins a long line of people failing miserably at someone elses finisher Rock's sharpshooter, HHH's Rock Bottom and Hall's Stunner top the list at shitty imitations. anyone else who should have just not even bothered?
the pinjockey Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Orton's version of the Play of the Day.
Guest wrestlingbs Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Brock's SSP. At least according to Kidman. Funny thing, I remember Pete Gas trying to do Foley's mandible claw on Big Show right before WM 2000, and he did a pretty good immitation of it. Remember when Legion of Doom returned and botched their own Doomsday Device. Even the Dudleys did it better.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Was HHH rock bottom bad? I remember it being OK. Lesnar did an Angle slam on Benjamin earlier this year and that was pretty bad. Rocky's stunner sucks as bad as Hall's. Rocky did a Crippler Crossface back in 00 that sucked as I recall. He also did a shitacular Ankle Lock, didn't he? Rock should stick to his own moves.
Guest wrestlingbs Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Remember Hogan anklelock on Angle? It was Hogan just holding the guy's leg and Angle sold it like he was getting mauled.
The Czech Republic Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Of course, Angle stole Shamrock's move, but you could make the argument that Angle's is better. You could also make the argument that there isn't enough to an anklelock to say one is better than another.
caboose Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Rocky's stunner sucks as bad as Hall's. Rocky did a Crippler Crossface back in 00 that sucked as I recall. He also did a shitacular Ankle Lock, didn't he? Rock should stick to his own moves. Don't forget Rocky's crappy Pedigree at Judgement Day 2000...
Hank Kingsley Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 There was also Austin using the "Angle Slam" at Unforgiven 2001, even though it looked more like a back suplex.
Guest Anglesault Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Was HHH rock bottom bad? I remember it being OK. It was more of a chokeslam. Sometimes he wouldn't even go down with him. Rocky's stunner sucks as bad as Hall's. I honestly didn't know what Hall's first Stunner (NWO 02) was supposed to be. Even JR didn't call it
Aero Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Shane McMahon doing just about anyone's move is bad, usually. KOTR 2001, he did a pretty bad Sharpshooter and Ankle Lock on Angle. No one, except Rock, ever seems to get the Rock Bottom right. Rock goes all the way down himself, but everyone else usally just lands on their knees.
Guest The Old Me Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 I think one of HHH's RB's was on RAW leading up to a PPV, and HHH nailed him through the table, and HHH didn't leave his feet at all!
Guest wildpegasus Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Hiro Hase and Sakie Hasegawa have had better versions of the "rock bottom" than Rock does.
Guest Anglesault Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 I think one of HHH's RB's was on RAW leading up to a PPV, and HHH nailed him through the table, and HHH didn't leave his feet at all! That's the one I was really basing it on.
razazteca Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Is the Superkick worst than the Diamond Cutter that Randy uses, I forgot what he called it. Hell the move looks more like the bulldog facebuster move that Jericho uses.
Damaramu Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Rocky's stunner sucks as bad as Hall's. Rocky did a Crippler Crossface back in 00 that sucked as I recall. He also did a shitacular Ankle Lock, didn't he? Rock should stick to his own moves. Don't forget Rocky's crappy Pedigree at Judgement Day 2000... This is what caused the ban on piledrivers. HHH was woozy and couldn't remember the last few minutes of the match because of the Rock's pedigree...but Vince thought it was the tombstone and banned piledrivers....at least that's how I remember it...
The Dames Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Rocky's stunner sucks as bad as Hall's. Rocky did a Crippler Crossface back in 00 that sucked as I recall. He also did a shitacular Ankle Lock, didn't he? Rock should stick to his own moves. Don't forget Rocky's crappy Pedigree at Judgement Day 2000... This is what caused the ban on piledrivers. HHH was woozy and couldn't remember the last few minutes of the match because of the Rock's pedigree...but Vince thought it was the tombstone and banned piledrivers....at least that's how I remember it... I've always heard that it was actually Undertaker's Tombstone on HHH in that match which gave him a Stinger and caused the ban. Dames
Damaramu Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah I heard that's what they thought but Rock screwed up the Pedigree and later they found that out...after the ban was down.
Guest AndrewisyourHero Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Orton does the Diamond cutter terribly. quoted for truth
Damaramu Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Orton like leaps through the air and grabs there head as he flies by..somebody should just stand there and let him fly sometime....that'd be great.
Guest AndrewisyourHero Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 You would think with Johnny Ace, Inventor of the Ace Crusher/Diamond Cutter/Stunner, working for the company that he could sit down with Orton and teach him how to not suck at the RKO..
Jack_Bauer Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 You can't teach a shit dog new tricks
AndrewTS Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Hogan's alleged "chokeslam," "Diamond Cutter" and "Spinning Toe Hold." The first he used at WMX-8 and the latter two he used in feuds with DDP (did one on the title belt during an nWo beatdown) and Bret Hart (in a match with him).
jester Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Orton like leaps through the air and grabs there head as he flies by..somebody should just stand there and let him fly sometime....that'd be great. That would be like when Gayda stayed up after taking a top rope Bulldog from Trish. And pretty damn funny. If you wanted to make the move extra Gayda, you'd wait until well after the move and then fall down...in the wrong direciton of course.
Lil' Bitch Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Goldberg doing the Rock Bottom was awful, Brock didn't do the move too bad. Undertaker doing the Angle Slam at Vengeance was pretty whacked out.
Just John Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 I have to agree with everyone who says the RKO (calling that pile of crap a Diamond Cutter is a slap in the face to DDP) is one of the worst. Every time I see it, I am instantly reminded of Hogan's version. Hogan butchered many moves in his time, but his rendition of the ankle lock was atrocious.
razazteca Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 The worst move Kurt Angle has ever used has to be that sitdown bearhug body scissors move he uses.
Jack_Bauer Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 I remember Sid doing the Crossface to Tank Abott
