It’s Friday, let’s do something fun!
What’s your legit favorite move, and why? .gifs allowed and appreciated.
I dunno guys, every time I see Arn Anderson hit that Spinebuster part of me just cries out in joy. It’s so beautiful AND looks devastating.
I really like Baron Corbin’s End Of Days finisher!

Enzugiri!
Frankensteiner/Hurricanrana. I don’t remember seeing people pulling that off back when I was a kid.
I have to pick one ?!? Aargh…
I would have to say the crippler crossface… I loved the fact that Benoit (or) could hit it as a counter to most moves, and the way the move is structured you can see the faces of both men, so the intensity on the attacker and the attackee was so clearly visible

One of the reasons I love Sasha Banks so much is she uses a modified crippler crossface and it’s killer.
Justin Hunt DAT PERFECTPLEX THO
Any variant of the Psychodriver, especially if they’re done in the manner of Super Dragon’s plethora of styles.

(that one is particularly well executed)
Also the Candian Destroyer (sunset flip piledriver) is particularly nasty.

Also a fan of the crusifix armbar which is a nasty move outside of the ring as well.
DDT especially when Raven would just flow into it
tilt a whirl Headscissor takedown! I saw some very badass variations of that move in lucha underground (didn’t know the name of the move till now, and I’m still not sure it is the correct name, I had to do a little research).

I always liked the 619 for showiness, and the mandible claw for how integral it was to the character. Hard to beat the iconic appeal of the Rock Bottom into a People’s Elbow though.
Yeah, the best moves are the ones that are extensions of the character, for sure.
Rainmaker clothesline. Hell, any high impact clothesline

Always been a fan of a simple vertical suplex, although Randy Orton’s and/or Golddust’s snap suplex are pretty also.
I’m here for the gifs.
That said, I have fond memories of figuring out the figure four leg lock with a neighborhood kid when I was a youth.
I’ll also say that the 3-D is the best tag-team move ever. Yes, the Doomsday Device is pretty awesome, but the 3-D just has that AWESOME timing and snap-tight execution.
I was never super into Austin, but I love the Stone Cold Stunner. It’s so satisfying.

I like the Pedigree. Mostly because I really enjoy the machinations of The Connecticut Blueblood.
I mentioned Sasha Banks above, and here’s a great gif of one of my absolute favorite finishers from one of my absolute favorite wrestlers: https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/B_WBoWqUwAMP3Gx.mp4
KILLER
Charlotte sells that thing like a damned boss
I have yet to be disappointed by a Sasha Banks/Charlotte match.
Oh wow, that is AWESOME! Damn, I’m liking Banks more by the minute!
