[Chris]

But I can't think of anyone specific lol

 

[Deezy]

Batista won quite a few matches with a Spine Buster

I only remember Guerrero

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Khali

 

[Chris]

Batista def won some squashes with a Spinebuster when he was in Evolution but only on jobbers that weren't Batista Bomb worthy

 

[Chris]

Pretty sure all the cool finishes just get bastardized a generation later, or all the real influential ones

 

[Deezy]

Khali

I don't remember but I'll believe since Khali couldn't do any other bumps for him

 

[Chris]

Spinebuster, DDT, we're seeing it now with the superkick and the frog splash bc everyone loved HBK and Eddie Guerrero

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Super kick parties

 

[Deezy]

I saw a spine buster end an mma fight just two weeks ago

I saw a spine buster end an mma fight just two weeks ago

I saw that too

 

[Deezy]

And the dude retired right after

 

[Deezy]

I'm on team old guy when it comes to the bastardization of moves

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I'll join that team too

The real innovation is when people come up with counters to avoid a finisher...kicking out is lazy imo

Tanahashi vs Suzuki is one of my favorite NJPW matches ever from like 2012...the only pin attempt in the match was the final 3 count
