WWE NXT star Kassius Ohno (the former Chris Hero), who uses a discus elbow smash as his finishing move and calls it the KO and had the following to say on Twitter this weekend:

“A Rolling Elbow minus the ‘roll’ is simply an elbow. Discus throwers spin in a circle to build momentum & increase power. The trick is maintaining accuracy as the elbow connects. If done right, the move is incredibly effective. Can’t fault someone for utilizing such a devastating maneuver. Besides, you never know where that certain someone may have picked up the technique. Tanaka? Misawa? Or… My dream is to carry on the legacy of the Elbow from Mitsuharu Misawa just as he carried it from Jumbo Tsuruta and brought it to new heights”

Posting the fail :eek:tunga:

In all seriousness he makes a good point. I'm glad he's not bummed out about Wade pretty much being given the same move+gimmick.

I honestly think Wade would have been better with some kind of punch finisher, possibly knock the opponent down with the elbow then get a mount and just beat them down before the ref stops it.

Nice to see he likes his gimmick and that Barrett using the same stuff hasn't made him mad.
