The slingshot suplex/Flair’s figure 4
By Scott Keith on 28 July 2018
What is it about the slingshot part of the move that makes it more deadly that a regular suplex? Considering it worked so well for Tully, is it perhaps time to make the slingshot suplex great again?
Flair never beat anyone of importance with the figure four thus it is the worst finisher of a main eventer ever. Doesnt logic seem to dictate that finding some OTHER finisher might have been a better path, especially when you consider the titles he lost after getting the move reversed to a small package?
1. I don't really want to get into the whole science of momentum and force here, but suffice it to say that the slingshot in the slingshot suplex makes it makes it hurt more.
2. Flair beat tons of people with the figure-four, including winning at least two of his World titles with it (Randy Savage and Dusty Rhodes) so he should probably keep it.
