The atomic drop

By Scott Keith on 16 May 2019


Does anyone do the atomic drop anymore? Been watching old Bret matches and the Hitman busts that thing out like clockwork. I feel like I haven’t seen one on WWE TV in ages. It puts so much COMPRESSION on the SPINE!

I've seen people use the inverted atomic drop as a transition move a bunch in the modern era, but no one really uses the full-fledged standard version anymore, no. It's just one of those relics of the past that might come back for the occasional comedy spot, like the airplane spin.
