much like Sky Blue's , those moves are just not consistent enough

Can you help me tell what the Saxtonation is meant to be?

It looks like he is trying to do a Cobra Clutch.... Backwards slam (can't call it a Russian leg sweep since he doesn't sweep the leg) with a spinout? Ted Dibiasi did a similar move (no spinout) and he was active at the time.

I feel like less of a person for defending Byron Saxton as a commentator now after watching this.

I'm going with Mox's Death Rider. They say it's a brainbuster but he lands the guy flat on his back most of the time so it's a Double Under hook Suplex. Sometimes it looks like a good brainbuster (then it's not bad).

Honorable mention for me is the Helluva Kick. Feels like it doesn't fit Sami Zayn to me.

Also the Rainmaker. It's a clothesline. At least JBL put some oomph in his.

I'll agree Death Rider is inconsistent though, seems to really depend on receiver and if he's doing the super version.

I love the Helluva Kick

I wholehardedly disagree with that entire post, especially the rainmaker. watch some new japan, its not just a clothesline (it's a LARIAT first of all...) and he puts a lot of stink on it. educate yourselves!

Especially if his opponent is under 25 and in black trunks

Also worse clothesline finished def goes to Brian Myers, I always vote roster cut as one of my worst moves of the year lmao and I love the guy but come on

Agreed on death rider, I half agree with troop on helluva tho, I don't like it as a finish as all, but as a setup move I think it's great

roster cut was awful yes

I will reiterate though
You run into a clotheline
A lariat runs into you

if he did BTB as a finisher and HK as a setup it be golden

I dunno I love the Helluva he makes it look great every time
But I’d gladly have him go back to doing the

BRAINNNNNBUSTAAAAAAHHH

I’m not a huge fan of Oblivion. Trick’s Trick Shot knee. And the Swerve Stomp

I hate double stomps, they're fine visually but I just see broken ankles every time even tho I've never seen it actually happen

I’ve hated them since Del Rio did it in his second run with WWE. There’s just something about them
