Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Even before he debuted on TV there was a lot of talk about Brock and his Shooting Star Press. Did he ever do it on any of the development shows or has it only been talked about? Has anyone here actually seen him do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I but he could, probably collapse someone's lung though when he landed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest muzanisa Report post Posted May 8, 2002 go to ovwrestling.com. They'll have tapes and yes he can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted May 8, 2002 He can, but I don't imagine the WWF...sorry, WWE will ever let him use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest big Dante Cruz Report post Posted May 8, 2002 The story I've always heard is yes, the man can do an SSP, but he just hasn't on television. Everything I heard about him before he showed up was that he used that move as his finish in the OVW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I'm pretty sure they'll add it once he starts real matches as the insane moves that he never hits cos they'd be DEAD sorta thing. I'm sure he could hit it ok, the vadersault would be worse to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I believe that even in one of his first interviews on WWF.com, they mentioned the SSP. They gave some lame story about them not wanting to unveil his moveset too soon and all at once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Yeah I've heard he can do it but it seems like WWE are just going to keep it under wraps until he's established that way it has a massive impact to the crowd when they see it. They build him up as a monster and then unveil that he can do that to the masses, that would put him over huge in one go I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 9, 2002 i could see Brock doing his ssp at say the beginning of his first baby face turn or in his first gimmick match to beat a main event guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Does he do the SSP Mero style or Kidman style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted May 9, 2002 He should do it sparingly and only as a last resort finisher. Like the Tombstone or EF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted May 9, 2002 I guarantee once he does the SSP, he becomes a face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Well lets see. We know he can, so the actual question to ask is May Brock do a SSP? The Answer? Not in this lifetime in the WWF. The last thing the WWF needs is for him to land the wrong way and severely injure nay worse with that move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Are you sure Brcok does the SSP? I thought it was Shelton Benjerman who did it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Brock does it...for shizzle and hell bust it out when he hits Heyman with it...you heard it hear first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 9, 2002 I know someone who has seen him pull off the move in a match and he said it's a truly impressive sight watching that giant man fly like that. He'll do it on WWF tv. He may not do it alot as i'm sure some guys won't want to take it, but he'll do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dpac Report post Posted May 9, 2002 shelton benjermin, another former UofM wrestler , and Brock's former tag partner does the 450 splash,,and Brock has the ssp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted May 9, 2002 The story I heard was that the WW(F)E has such big plans for Lesnar, with so much money invested in him, that they can't take the chance of him regularly using a move as dangerous as the SSP. Remember that Kidman stopped using it because there was too much risk, and he only weighs half of what Brock does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Remember that Kidman stopped using it because there was too much risk, and he only weighs half of what Brock does. But Kidman's busted it out a number of times in the WWF. Anyway, once Brock does it, Kidman better find a new finisher. Unless Brock's sucks--which apparently it doesn't--who wants to see a small guy like Kidman do it? Okay, I would, but I'm probably in the minority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
