so then lets say that when dolph ziggler, hits the same move 10 times on the row, IT SHOULD BE FREAKING DEVASTATING, but you dont see it as his finishing move....

Rock is a lot bigger than Ziggs, also it's wrestling these things happen regularly.

Watched it before the rumble. It was an emotional roller coaster. Went some real dark places. His shoot on TNA was great.

Sounds good big fan of Nigel he was a great wrestler and is currently a good commentator for roh.

Dude, why are you making a big deal out of this shit?

The People's Elbow was a mean motherfucker move back in the day that put bigger stars than Punk down..

It's THE move, THE entertainment from The Rock. It's an ENTERTAINING move. WWE - World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT.

I hate The Rock but I honestly don't get where all the hate on the elbow is coming from. He has been doing that move for like 15 years!!!

I can understand Rock winning with the People's Elbow and all, but it's still one of those things that require a certain suspension of disbelief to be taken seriously as such a big finisher imo.

Long story short here: People need to stop counting chickens before they hatch and wait and see. WWE is about to get majorly interesting.

Hogan won a lot of matches with a leg drop

Macho Man won a lot of matches with a top rope elbow drop

Ultimate Warrior won a lot of matches with a body splash

The Rock won a lot of matches with an elbow drop

I don't see the problem here. Lame fucking excuse to hate on Rocky for winning over your so called ''God'' CM Punk...

Which moves don't take a suspension of belief lol? Everyone jumps in time with the RKO, everyone allows Punk to rest them on his shoulders before the GTS and people didn't run for the hills as soon as Hulk pointed or Austin gut kicked you.

But the live events will suffer because of this. No fake title matches.

But... Rock winning did something that hasn't happened in the last 480+ days, create a huge buzz for WWE for the first time since the Summer of Punk. Hell, I haven't been this excited about Raw since then, and I hated the results!

Now that I calmed up a bit, yeah, that's what I meant in my last post, elbow drops/leg drops as finishers suck (Macho Man's doesn't though, top rope, much better).
