Guest Anglesault Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 I think it's time Angle got a new finish, personally. Although, honestly, there are only three finishes in WWE that are still pretty protected: Pedigree, Tombstone, and Stunner. I'd like to see Angle do some sort of Blood Rush (see "Wrestling Moves discussion" post in the General Wrestling folder for description, 5th post up from the bottom), as it'd be fairly easy to hit on people of equal size, as well as a little bigger. And for the hosses? AnkleLock works fine. Can anybody think of a great finish these days, indy or puro or otherwise, that doesn't involve a head-drop? Aside from a few cool flying moves, and maybe a great submission here and there, nothing really comes to mind. I think I heard someone mention a cool move that starts out like a Dragon sleeper, but the agressor flips the victim over into The Diamond Cutter position and hits it.
Corey_Lazarus Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Sounds like an Osaka Street Cutter (which is the inverted front facelock flipped into the Stunner).
Guest Anglesault Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Sounds like an Osaka Street Cutter (which is the inverted front facelock flipped into the Stunner). Yeah, sounds like the same thing.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Just to veto any "he can't win clean with the angle Slam", at Vengeance, Angle pinned Brock CLEAN with the angle slam, so there!
Guest Ray Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 WWE has always said stupid things. They said Hogan never faced Andre before Mania 3. They said Andre was never slammed before then. During the Jericho/Michaels Raw match, they said Shawn had never tapped out in his life. Just wait...five years from now they'll be saying Brock never tapped out when they need to get heat on a match.
deancoles Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 they'll also say about Austin "The texas rattlesnake will never quit on ya" when he has tapped to Angle and he has quit the wwe before.
Guest Bogey316 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Thinking you're the most popular poster on a internet message board is like winning a gold medal in the special olympics, you're still retarded
Guest M. Harry Smilac Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 It's just a glorified Samoan Drop. If people hadn't started to kick out of it Nathan Jones would be using a body slam as his finisher.
Jobber of the Week Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 I've actually kicked out of the Angle Slam on several occasion. This reminds me of the Figure Four. When Flair is a face, the Figure Four is the BAH GAWD MOST DEVASTATING OF ALL TIME WHOOOOO When Flair is a heel, feh... I could reverse the damn thing turning over in my sleep.
Guest NCJ Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Not NWA heel Flair damn it. And WWF heel Flair in 1992 the figure four was protected pretty well.
deancoles Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Didn't Flair win his 2nd wwf world championship with the Figure Four?
Guest Goodear Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Yup he got a pinfall over Randy Savage with it after Razor Ramon took out Macho Man's knee during the match.
Guest I Fear Hogans Air Guitair Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 I would say Edge has kicked out of it the most and that's about the same time the move lost it's cred. Didn't Edge kick out of it twice in one match?
CanadianChick Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 I would say Edge has kicked out of it the most and that's about the same time the move lost it's cred. Didn't Edge kick out of it twice in one match? I dont' know about that, but he was kicked out of the slam alot. It's strange, during that feud, both Edge and Angle kicked out of each other's finishers a lot. I never really got that.
Guest RollingSambos Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 The question is, who hasn't kicked out of the Angle Slam? The Ankle Lock is much more lethal, the Angle Slam is basically the equivalent of Jericho's Lionsault...once in a blue moon, it will get the win, but it's major purpose is false finish.
