Guest Kimaster1976 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I was always impressed with Hercules Hernandez & Paul Roma (Power & Glory) finisher. A superplex by Hernandez immediately followed by a top rope splash from Roma. I believe they called it the PowerPlex but I may be wrong on that.

deancoles Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 The Powers of Pain had a finish which was simple but looked great(especially at Summerslam 88) with a Warlord powerslam followed by a Barbarian Diving Headbutt. The Steiners had a couple but the top rope DDT looked the best. I liked the move the Hart Foundation used to do where Neidhart would powerslam Bret onto their opponent. I loved the Faces of Fear's Backdrop into a powerbomb.
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I think the Orient Express use to do a Superkick into a German or Tiger Suplex, but they never held the hold long enough to bridge...at least I thought I saw them do it once
Guest LooneyTune Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Everything good is mentioned, but I'll say the Midnight Express were an awesome team for double team maneuvers (Eaton & Lane).
LessonInMachismo Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 What was up with Jaques and Raymond's homo-erotic finisher?
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 What was up with Jaques and Raymond's homo-erotic finisher? what? pretty much a Electric Chair Lift Moss Pit basically? or a Non Somersault Molly go round... Les Bomb De Rougeau I only saw them do it at Wm3.
LessonInMachismo Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 <<I only saw them do it at Wm3.>> It's funny how un-over they were. They got the respectful face tag team pop, but that was it. It wasn't until they became "All American Boys" that they really got noticed by the fans. What's sad is how the tag teams are dying today, and have been dying over the last few years. Back then we had the Bees, Can-Am, Dream Team, Orton/Muraco, Young Stallions, Strike Force, Brainbusters, just to name a few. WCW also did a nice job of killing the division, especially when they put a belt on "Judge" Judy Bagwell. I'm a big fan of old school tag matches, so it sucks to see the garbage teams on TV today. As for a tag team finisher, I thought of one that might be cool. Imagine one guy holding the victim up like the Rougeau finisher and the other guy leaping from the top rope and doing a somersault powerbomb. Would that be too dangerous to be done on a regular basis?
LessonInMachismo Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Here is a list of double team moves. Note that they don't include "drop and follow up" moves. http://www.deathvalleydriver.com/bbbowm/doubleteam.htm This site is great, by the way. I will post a link to the main page, though many of you probably already know about it. http://www.deathvalleydriver.com/bbbowm/bbbowm.htm
brighty Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 love the simple stuff when it comes to double team moves. i thought Team Angle/World's Greatest Tag Team's atomic drop/superkick was great.

It's sad when the old lower midcard teams like the Bees, Stallions, Rougeaus and Conquistadores, teams I didn't really care for that were overshadowed by The Hart Foundation, Demoliton, Brainbusters and Bulldogs, completely blow away any tag team the WWF has created in the last four years, with the exception of WGTT and Los Guerreros, who each lasted for like what, a year? I doubt we'll ever see that much tag team depth again.
Guest Askewniverse Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Chris Benoit & Brian Pillman - dropkick into a dragon suplex
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Arn & Tully's spike piledriver
Jingus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Jack Evans & Teddy Hart have a really slick variation on the Vegomatic that I always mark out for. Jack holds their opponent in backbreaker position, and Ted flattens them with a shooting star press. It is hard to believe as a legit move, but the SAT's Spanish Fly is still one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Guest Rrrsh Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I remember in general I loved all the DT Moves The Quebecers did. Hell, Jacque always had great DT moves in his Teams.
Just John Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Malenko/Benoit - Dropkick into a German Haas/Benjamin - Superkick into a German Steiners - Scott does a top rope DDT with the opponent on Rick's shoulders Mortis/Wrath - While Wrath has the opponent in a boston crab variation, Mortis hits a leg drop from the second rope Edge/Christian - Con-Chair-To Edge/Christian - Double low blow with opponent in the tree of woe Raven/Kanyon - Combo sit-down powerbomb and reverse neck breaker
Guest BDC Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I was always impressed with Hercules Hernandez & Paul Roma (Power & Glory) finisher. A superplex by Hernandez immediately followed by a top rope splash from Roma. I believe they called it the PowerPlex but I may be wrong on that. Personally, I liked the version Chaz and D-Lo would do, superplex and frog splash. I thought it just looked really good and made fantastic sense.
Kardo Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 If there's one thing i hate in matches today it's the lack of double team moves. I absolutely hate the abdominal stretch/kick or the choke in the corner that everyone does. C'mon guys get a bit more creative than that.
JST Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 - I always get a kick out of the Au Revoir - Booker & RVD actually had a decent set of team moves during their run as Raw Tag Champs. IE: Booker holds up opponent for a back suplex, RVD dives off with a crossbody. - Or the always awesome Heat Seeker with Booker and any of his partners. (Partner holds up opponent for a spinebuster, Book springs up and nails a Harlem sidekick to the head)
Precious Roy Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Personally, I liked the version Chaz and D-Lo would do, superplex and frog splash. I thought it just looked really good and made fantastic sense. Were they heels or faces? I can't even remember, but I thought they meshed pretty well as a team and deserved a better push than they got.
JST Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Heels. They were managed at one point by Tiger Ali Singh. I actually preferred the early beta-version of the MosherPlex. Only once used, Chaz would do his seated senton (same thing Rey does) and D'Lo would follow it with the frogsplash.
deancoles Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I absolutely hate the abdominal stretch/kick The best version was the way the Rougeaus did it at Summerslam 88 with Raymond jumping over the top rope and doing a cocky little strut before the kick.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I am a mark for the Rocker-plex (I think that's what it's called, the vertical suplex with the other person doing a crossbody block on the suplex victim). I saw XXX use it a while back and just went YESSSS~!
Ripper Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I absolutely hate the abdominal stretch/kick The best version was the way the Rougeaus did it at Summerslam 88 with Raymond jumping over the top rope and doing a cocky little strut before the kick. I loved when they did that. I marked for the cocky strut.
