Agreed on the DDT but I think Ron Simmons had the better spinebuster On 4/29/2023 at 10:54 AM, Rocco said: I always thought Eddie Guerrero had the best powerbomb. I liked it better when it was a big man move, but I’ve come around on how it’s used now. Wardlow’s looks like Kevin Nash’s, which isn’t a compliment (the snake eyes was a better finisher for him).
May 1, 20232 yr comment_6003660 Ricky Morton was the best at taking a backbreaker the way he'd just ragdoll all his limbs right at the moment of contact.
May 1, 20232 yr comment_6003666 Everyone talks about Terry Funk and Jerry Lawler, as they should, but Bob Cook is right up there with them when it comes to his punching prowess.

A certain electricity always in the air like a living, breathing entity. Man do I miss it. I’ve heard the opposite, when it came to rock concerts. Infamously called the “rectum” for how bad the sound was.

September 27, 20231 yr comment_6011967 1 hour ago, JerryvonKramer said: Highest floor: not sure what means Highest ceiling: ditto Highest floor refers to range of consistency; not having great matches all the time per-se, but having consistently decent to quite good matches over a long period of time, being able to carry a wide range of wrestlers to a reasonable level of quality. Having a low floor would mean consistently not performing well. Highest ceiling relates to peak performance/potential: having a high ceiling would mean having really great matches, but maybe that's a peak they've only managed to reach one or two times and they've otherwise been pretty below that. Random examples off the top of my head Misawa, for example, would have a tremendously high ceiling, but questionable floor given his pre/post-prime work. Undertaker I guess would count here as well. Osamu Kido would have a great floor given his decades of reliable mid-card work and as a tag guy with whoever NJPW fed to him, but his peak matches are more or less a dozen at best, so not that high of a ceiling. etc etc
September 28, 20231 yr comment_6011982 Okay in that case highest floor is 100% either Arn Anderson or William Regal. Highest ceiling to my mind is Hase or Yatsu.

September 30, 20231 yr comment_6012021 I feel like Rick Martel has to be mentioned if we're talking about hot tags or rope work.
