Absolutely, though I give slight edge to the stunner, because the Rock Bottom was more of a combination move for Rock, with The People’s Elbow. What makes both moves fantastic is their utility. You didn’t need to be a highly trained wrestler, in order to effectively sell it. Neither are particularly dangerous to a…

I agree but i’d argue that the Rock Bottom is just as important. Your points about the tombstone are correct though, the thing that made the stunner, and the rock bottom, so influential was that they could be delivered without much set-up. They were also the first finishers that I can remember that didn’t require a…

Don't forget the most important part, the dual middle finger prior to the most epic of stunners. The aftermath looked like a nuclear explosion!

It wasn't a good sell. I probably looked like Trump selling his. But, the shock of it happening at the end of a classroom debate made up for it (I hope)

I got suspended in high school on three separate occasions for recreating the stunner. In history class in the fall of 2000, we had a faux Gore Vs Bush debate where I played Gore. My debate partner and I decided ahead of time that it would be ended with me taking a stunner in front of the class. It probably wasn’t my…

are you fucking kidding me. The video of Trump taking the stunner is literally embedded in the goddamned article above, and he sold it like fucking shit.

Are stunners a protected industry in the Trans Pacific Partnership?

However the Tombstone has a limitation that the Stunner does not, which is the person performing the move has to be strong enough to invert the other wrestler safely before dropping to the knees. So it’s limited to bigger guys. So you don’t get the comical reversals, you could with the stunner. If Vince had been in…

In some very (way to serious) conversations with friends we all agreed the stunner was the ideal finisher (and the framework for so many that followed, like the Rock Bottom).

The set up was great, allowing just enough time between the boot and the stunner for the entire audience to explode. It was sudden, but not too…

If only this were referenced somewhere, like the article above. Oh, well, I guess it’s lost to time.

I agree. And I am in awe of your Kinja handle.

A new Wave Race would sell me on a NX in a heart beat. That water and the physics felt ahead of it’s time.

don’t worry, nobody actually understands anything anymore. it’s just all memes.

It’s very audacious for Porsche to compare their seven figure hybrid halo cars against their competitor’s seven figure hybrid halo cars.

Man, you’d be so fun at parties.

The Showcase Mode following Steve Austin’s career is fantastic.

Pretty good line-up! I’m guessing Sony will counter with some sports game no one wants and a bad indie.

All of those cars are on a public road - do you normally wear a crash helmet on the freeway?

The mistake people make in touristfahrten is that they think they’re racing. It’s not racing, it’s just driving quite fast along a country road. As a result, the rule of country road driving applies - “stop in what you can…

Since no one’s answered it.
