Favorite Pro Wrestling Strike Attacks? 

Post#1 » by jr lucosa » Sat Jan 5, 2013 4:06 pm

I was watching Kane v Undertaker from Bragging Rights a couple years back and Kane caught Undertaker with what had to have been 15 uppercuts (which is awesome) and I started thinking of some of my other favoites. The subject of this thread is pretty self explanatory, what's your favorite strike attacks (punches/kicks) in Pro Wrestling?


The first few that come to my head:
Kane's slap uppercut
Daniel Bryan yes/no kicks
Cesaro's Uppercut
HHH's Running High Knee
AJ's Pele Kick

What are some of yours?

Does Alberto Del Rio's running-bouncing-off-the-rope-enziguri count? Could watch that for days.

Also "The Elbow of Disdain", but that's simply because pretty much everything Sandow does is my favourite. And "Sweet Chin Music", natch.

Santino's "Cobra" wins this easily.

Kofi's finisher is a pretty cool strike attack. I always thought Flair's slaps were pretty cool. SCSA "stomping a mud hole" in the corner was one of my all-time favorites.

There's the
Austin, pindown and pummel followed by a forward elbow drop.
Rock's slaps followed by the spit and the final slaps
Daniel Bryan's kicks...but in terms of kicks, I also liked Tajiri's
X-Pacs bronco buster was always funny/fun
Road Dogg's shimmy
Benoit/Angle's chain of german suplexes
The Worm from Scotty 2 Hotty

Shattered Dreams anyone?

Kane's boot to the face is also a classic to go with the uppercut

Not a huge fan of Hardy, but I've always liked that mule kick of his.
