Poor Hangman don’t stand a chance but I’m gonna vote for him anyway

 

[Marty McFourth]

Hard going up against the Stunner, but I do adore the shit out of Hangman's buckshot lariat.

Reminder :

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Yeah I went with the Lariat I love a good stunner but the degree of difficulty with the buckshot is a tad more

 

[Lethal]

Sorry Cowboy Shit but Texan Redneck just whooped your ass

 

[CakeWalker]

The Stunner generally looked good - depending on how the person who took it sold it. The Buckshot never looks bad

 

[Keith]

I don't get the appeal of that lariat. Him doing a flip over the top before makes no difference to the impact. A good old fashioned Stan Hansen lariat looked like it damn near took their head off! Its the Stunner for me and its not even close.

 

[RDK]

Kevin Owen's has kind of killed the stunner for me. I think the Lariat is awesome. That's got my vote

But it’s Austin’s stunner, not Owens’ one

 

[CakeWalker]

I think he means - that because Owens now does the Stunner - the hype of the move when SCSA used to do it has now been killed

Sure but in the context it’s not Owens’ stunner being voted on. We’re not going to judge say the OWA if say Nick Aldis started throwing it no?

Just semantics for me

 

[CakeWalker]

Not really what I was saying - was just saying that your opinion on an original and how good it is - can be effected by copies and clones later down the line that would probably make the Stone Cold Stunner no longer look that impressive to people when they see Austin do them again on replay.

 

[Lethal]

Copies shouldnt dilute how the original is viewed is all I’m saying. Like comparing ‘new’ Halloween to old.

Kevin Owen's goofy stunner has made me enjoy Austin's stunner less than I used to. Because now I just think the stunner in general is goofy.
