Name some moves that you think only 1 wrestler could do.

 

 

 

Scott Steiner

 

At Wrestlewar doing the standing backwards flip while holding his opponent in the backbreaker posistion at the same time. He wasn't throwing just 10pds over either.

 

Scott Steiner

 

Throwing everything and anything around that moves in any direction at all

Hulk Hogan - Atomic Leg Drop

 

Sure other people can do regular leg drops, but I have yet to see another superstar who has the power to basically put their opponents in a coma with one.

I should make clear here that I'm trying to make a list of moves that we as fans think only 1 wrestler can do. For example although it might be possable I don't really see anyone duplicating Steiner's weird suplex at Wrestlewar.

Santo's Tope and Superman Plancha.

 

Gary Albright's Dead Lift German off the canvas.

 

Manami Toyota..most of her suplexes like the inverted bridged underhook suplex thing or the straight jacket Northern Lights Suplex.

Only Test can do the BOOOT! Hogan has no power in his kick but Test can kick anybody in the head and it looks like it could hurt.

 

Rey Mysterio was the best at the Springboard 'Rana.

 

Super Crazy had the best Surfboard move which he used in ECW.

 

Tajiri being the only person I can think of using the Tarantula.

 

DDP is the best at the Diamond Cutter/Ace Crusher.

 

Masato Tanaka using the Diamond Dust.

1. When did Bret start using the sharpshooter? Didn't Sting bust out the Scorpian Deathlock first?

 

2. I think most of you don't understand the topic...

 

I mean realistically almost anyone can pull of the ringpost figure-four, but almost noone can pull off a running powerbomb on the Big Show.

I think Ron Garvin was using it prior to either, just not as his finisher, but he would ues it occasionally.

Original user credit of the sharpshooter is commonly given to Ricky Choshu but I'm extreamly sure it was used before that. Benoit was actually using the sharpshooter as one of his finishers back in Stampede before Sting or Bret Hart became famous for using it as their finishers. I'm not exactly sure when Bret started using it. I remember when he started using it in the WWF where he credited Konnan for "teaching" it to him in one of his Calgary Sun articles. It's possable that Bret was using it before in Stampede and had forgotten how to use it. I believe he asked in the locker room, "Hey, does anybody know how to use that Japanese leg lock hold properly?" and Konnan if you remember back in the day knew how to put on a LOT of holds than showed him. Sting, I'm not too sure when he started using it but it certainly could've been before Hart starting using it as a finisher.

 

I do agree that Bret was the best at putting it on. There are others that may have been just as good but certainly weren't better because you just can't beat perfection.
