Which wrestler has your favorite move-set.

Not just talking about just the finisher, but which wrestler has a repertoire of moves that you really enjoy seeing, Finishers, Signatures, Taunts, the way they punch/kick, etc.

For example for me, I really really love Kenta Kobashi's moveset.

I love his chops, his Burning Hammer variations, his leg drops, his perfect moonsault, all of his crazy suplexes (mainly the half nelson suplex) and he has my favorite Lariat in the business.

D-Lo Brown

Lo Down (Frog Splash)



Sky High (Sitout Spinebuster)



Real Deal (Running Sitout Powerbomb)



Legdrop with theatrics



Taunts/Poses/Mannerisms





D-Lo also hits a sweet looking Leg Lariat but I can't find a gif of that.

Mike Awesome

For Mike Awesome, I think it would be better if I post this video instead of gifs as it covers all of his Awesome Bomb variatons and his power and aerial moves, which is his moveset was a great blend of.

AJ Styles because he's adapted his style so well over the years and developed SO many different ways to win matches. Styles Clash, Calf Killer, Springboard 450, Phenomenal Forearm, and maybe one of these days he'll bring back the Spiral Tap. Not to mention the neckbreaker over the knee, pele kick, bloody sunday, and the list goes on. He used to just literally drop people flat on their head if they tried to fight out of the clash in New Japan and it was crazy.

Shout outs to Rollins and KUSHIDA as well. The superplex into the falcon arrow spot is one of my favorite things in wrestling right now.

What the hell did he ever do that on purpose? Yoshitatsu tucked his chin that was the only real incident in New Japan.

Daley Richards. DR Driver, chimura, cloverleaf, ankle lock, shooting star press, German duplex, etc.

Currently in the indies I like Cody Rhodes. Disaster kick, cross Rhodes, moonsault,and his new submission maneuver.

Oh boy. There are quite a few.

These are the ones that stand out, in no particular order:

1. Kazuchika Okada: DAT DROPKICK, the Rainmaker, the Elbow Drop, Reverse Neck Breaker, the German Suplex, the draping DDT, Tombstone Pile Driver. What impresses me the most is how crisp his execution is. Plus, how every move targets the head/neck region to set up his finisher.

2. Kenny Omega: Love his strikes, especially his knees, love his finisher, love his taunts. I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this right but his strikes almost have a personality behind them. If someone else does the same move, they're good, but then Omega does it, and it just looks that much cooler.

3. Seth Rollins: Most versatile guy in the biz right now. Perfect combination of power and athleticism. The Frogsplash is godly. The Pedigree looks great since his return. The superplex into falcon arrow is amazing. And yeah, the Buckle Bomb :lol Still mark for it :mark:

4. AJ Styles: Great strikes, great athleticism, great execution on every move. Even though he is smaller than most of his opponents, he always looks credible because of his moveset. It's tailored to fit a guy like him perfectly and everything looks impactful.

I watched Omega's G1 Title win on NJW, and I like his move set. However lately, I like TJP and Kota.

However, historically I liked Hardy Boyz's back in the day in their time. Angle in his time. In LU, I like Morrison's and The Machine's.

Honestly loaded ass question, I basically like anything I see in LU and NJPW.
