What was the sickest Non Botched Finisher

[DangerousDamon 0]

is that the Steiner Screwdriver i keep hearing about?

Yes sir it is.

[Guest LooneyTune]

I knew I recognized the move. I haven't seen the Wrestlefest '94 tape in quite a while, so I couldn't remember what the Screwdriver looked like.

that was the first and only time I saw the Screwdriver, and seeing Owen sell it like he was shot was awesome..

 

one of those few moments where a wrestling move produced a holy shit from me, the other time was when I first saw Dragon kid do a Dragon rana at Toryumon comes to Japan

[Guest LooneyTune]

I think it's time I watch that tag match again... oh, by the way, the Jannetty/Tanaka match is on Wrestlefest 1991.

yes it was on there too, because the Coliseum video had the habit of showing alot of the same matches on different tapes.

 

I have the Jenetty Tanaka match I think on three tapes including my TV Archive tape of various matches off SNME Superstars etc

[Guest wildpegasus]

^--- That's gotta hurt. What show was this from?

I can't remeber. I think it was from a Great American Bash.

The ring's from New Japan. Hase who eats Steiner screwdrivers like candy has actually been hit more than once with it. I've also seen Benoit take it 3 different times. Lyger has taken it as well. Robbie Rage in WCW also took the move before.

That's lazy ass WWF and Coliseum Video for ya. I know Jannetty/Tanaka aired on a PTW Episode, and of course, was televised on the MSG Network live, so why not put it on a few more tapes?

 

Other reused matches... Hulk Hogan v. Nikolai Volkoff (SNME 10/85), Virgil vs. Shawn Michaels (on 2 CV's released not too far apart), and Earthquake vs. Repo Man (ditto). Also, countless Undertaker/Ramon matches from 1993, and, obviously, they all sucked ass.

Well, technically, Vic Grimes's swandive off the scaffold courtesy of New Jack in XPW wasn't botched per se, as it was the planned finish and he didn't get killed. So it's easily the sickest intentionally planned thing I've ever seen in a wrestling match.

[Guest LooneyTune]

I thought New Jack stun gunned the shit out of him before having him fall off, unless New Jack was lying about that. If that's true, I wouldn't count that as planned.

[Jingus 0]

No, Jack did pretty much commit attempted murder on that scaffold. But Grimes was supposed to get thrown off, and he did live thru the experience with only minor injuries, so it wasn't botched in the strictest definition of the word.

Nuff said

OH GOD!

 

I miss that move.

[razazteca 0]

Did'nt Steiner use that move on Nitro once against the Road Warriors before they went back to WWF?

[Dace59 0]

Steiner actually stopping doing the move like that, for one reason or another, which is why you won't have seen it that much. As far as I recall, there's not many more well know uses outside the ones already mentioned.

 

I'd be more worried about the stories of Lyger pulling off the SSD that way...no where near the leg protection that Steiner gives.

Neck's literally hanging by a thread, huh? I've had just about enough of this.

/ channels Gorilla Monsoon ... "They're literally hanging from the rafters here" ... "The ring literally moved 5 feet with that Avalanche" ... other misuses of the word literally.

 

Victoria's Widow's Peak always looks like it breaks the back of whoever takes it. Of all people, Stacy Keilber has sold it the best. I guess it is because of how flexible she seems to be, but when Victoria was doing her psycho bully gimmick, Stacy's back bent the wrong way in a VERY sick manner when she took the move.

Agreed.

First time I saw the Canadian Destroyer, it made me cringe.

Vertebreaker, will break your spine

Vertebreaker, does the trick every time

[Guest BDC]

The Kudos driver just kills me the way Homicide does it. *cringe*

 

First time I saw the DVD, it freaked me out.

 

Really, any headdropping moves make me cringe. In my time, I've had enough drops on my neck to appreciate how dangerous it is.

[Ripper 0]

 

It usually doesn't come off that...bouncy.

[Guest The Masked Avenger]

I've got the tag match with the Steiners vs the Hart brothers, and I seem to recall Steiner executing the move a bit differently i.e. from a vertical suplex position (although it could just be that the clip we see starts a little too late to see this). This, IMHO, looks even more uncontrolled and dangerous and certainly had me cringing. Worth mentioning, even though it isn't a finish, is Owen's *amazing* belly-to-belly suplex when Scott (I think) bounces off the ropes in the same match. Pure perfection...

Super Dragon's Barry White Driver.

Lo Ki gave the Amazing Red a Ki-Krusher from the top rope that absolutely killed Red. I believe it was one of the very early ROH shows, either the Road to the Title or a Title defense by Ki. Unbelievable move.

 

BTW: Ripper, I don't know which is more captivating: Your avatar with Shakira or that Canadian Destroyer.

it maybe the match we're talking about, Owen took a Screwdriver right after a Dragon Suplex

[Guest LooneyTune]

Has to be that match. It's the only match I recall the Steiners and Harts ever having with each other.

yea thats inline with JR telling the audience that HHHS quad is literally hanging by a thread going into his match with jericho at wm x-8(due to a sledgehammer atatck by jericho on raw I think) then it is never mentioned again

 

 

and the malenko ddt on scotty was actually backlash 2000 but it was pretty freaking insane (no wonder scotty had a bad neck)

 

 

scott steiner screwdriver on owen takes the cake here.

 

danny davis head literally bounced off the mat at wm 3 in the tombstone spot and DBS also delivered a stiff running powerslam that made the mat bounce up with such force.

 

 

cactus jack piledriving hhh on the announce table at rumble 2000 which DOESNT BREAK OUCH

 

 

on the benoit dvd and his match with eddie from nitro, benoit delivers a SICK compact powerbomb that almost folds eddie in half, then follows up with a sweet dragon suplex for the win

 

although these are all good moves none of them was actually the finsherexcept for malenko and benoit so sorry about going off topic here

[Nighthawk 0]

Oh yeah, and the time Pitbull 2 powerbombed Raven's head onto the edge of the table. Apparently he did that on purpose, so that should be in here too.

[Guest Trivia247]

For recreating the Screwdriver for SD I'd probably go with the Krusher since you still got that basic Front facelock Suplex feel, plus the turn and the Drop between the legs, if you ignore the Fisherman lock with it

Benoit throws some of the best powerbombs in the history of wrestling.

Almost as brutal as the Burning Hammer in my sig.
