JoeDirt Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I like the Dragon Whip, but I just don't see it as a main event finishing move. And hell, HHH already kicked out of it. Any ideas of what Benjamin could start using for a finisher?
King Cucaracha Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 That Springboard Ace Crusher from the middle rope the Briscoes use would be cool. I'm sure it has a name, but I'm not 'up' on the indies much.
justsoyouknow Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Dragon Sleeper Camel Clutch or whatever you call it would be pretty good for Benjamin.
PsychoDriver Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Superkick, Tornado DDT or Sitout Powerbomb..... Actually I think he should use The TKO/Godsmack.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 The Dragon Whip could be ok - of course Triple H is going to kick out of his finisher, although I see what you mean (in other words, I just realised) - it's debut should have him winning with it. He could get the Superkick over in place of Steven Richards - although that might be a bit akward with Shawn Michaels on the same show. I don't know about the Dragon Sleeper Camel Clutch - he needs a good strike move (and a submission finisher, so that could be one, but it's a bit long of a name). The Burning Hammer? The Springboard Ace Crusher? The Springboard 900 Phoenix Splash? The last's titles also a bit long, but they could change the name, ala the Last Ride, Anglesault (), etc., and make it/one of them work.
justsoyouknow Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 The only problem with anything involving "springboard" is that it makes him seem like a midcarder. There are no main eventers that springboard. None at all. How about The Franchiser?
Zack Malibu Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 The thing with the Dragon Whip is that you have to suspend disbelief with it. You have to believe that the opponent is going to catch his foot and swing him around in order to hit it. It's good for a nearfall spot, but as a finisher, it's no good.
Nighthawk Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I was joking about a Springboard 900 Phoenix Splash. I don't even think that's physically possible, except maybe from Jack Evans. Just speculating, he seems like a cutter type of guy. In fact, I have the perfect move. That one where you throw them in the air like a flapjack, and catch them in a diamond cutter. In the Smackdown games it's called a samoan neckbreaker. Perfect.
razazteca Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Slingshot brainbuster or Fisherman buster.
Zack Malibu Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Scorpion Death Drop. Wasn't Steiner using a reverse DDT for a bit? Then again, he seemed to go from Downward Spiral to Reverse DDT to Steiner Recliner 800 times.
thuganomics Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 How about a wheelbarrow suplex? I love that move.

There are no main eventers that springboard. None at all. How about The Franchiser? That's why I said about giving renaming. IDrinkRatsMilk, it's obvious that you were kidding - but I liked it, so I incorporated it. The Steiner Recliner is possibly the worst submission move that the professional wrestling industry has ever seen. Note: The Wheelbarrow Suplex - I love that move too. It also has an awesome name.
Youth N Asia Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I would mark like a shit if he stole Doug William's "Chaos Theory." Or maybe something a little more simple, like a top rope bulldog.
Guest BDC Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I think he'd be a fine choice to reinstitute the DDT as a finishing move. But that's just me. As for the Dragon Clutch, I don't know, it seems a bit hard to put on for a main event level submission hold. It can't be applied that quickly (see: Crossface, ankle lock, etc) The guy has a superb superkick, but with Michaels around, that's a no go. I'd think that a quick finish would be appropriate for the guy, hence the DDT.
Spicy McHaggis Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 He should have spinning moves for his repertoire...Dragon Whip, Tornado DDT.....
Mystery Eskimo Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Maybe he could use the Roll of the Dice, or whatever its proper name is. I remember Test fucking it up a few times and hurting guys but I'm sure Shelton could do it properly.
The Amazing Rando Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Styles Clash. As much as I know Crash Holly used it...I never actually SAW him use it... and it's got that kind of "holy fuck" sensation to it. He could also put it on in a variety of different ways. Using it against bigger guys could be a problem, so I could see him using the Dragon Clutch Sleeper as a submission.
Dace59 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 DDT wise, maybe something like a Backslide setup swung into a DDT? Or CIMA's 44 (Double Chickenwing, swing around into facelocke still holding one arm, snap into a "dangerous" DDT)
Youth N Asia Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Spinning Top Rope Vertebreaker You could backflip it while you're at it...that would be a sight.
Ravenbomb Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Last Rites (Inverted spinning neckbreaker) that Cobra Clutch neckbreaker Regal was using at one point the X-Factor Yellow-Jacket Suplex Millenium Suplex
Dace59 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Might as well just have him use Stiener's old Blockbuster (Standing Backflip Fallaway Slam/Blockbuster Suplex)
