Simple Moves

By Scott Keith on 17 May 2013

Here’s a random one for discussion: what simple, well known wrestling moves could be dusted off and repurposed as someone’s finisher today? My two picks are the belly to back suplex and the hangman’s neckbreaker. The belly to back because it can seem at least as effective as an Angle Slam or a Shellshock, and because it seems like a lot of people try to label simple belly to backs as Backdrop Drivers, which makes them seem much more vicious. And the hangman’s neckbreaker because it seems like a move that should be thought of as legit devastating but got weakened due to overuse, and because it seems much less common these days and is due for a comeback. Thoughts?
