Samoa Joe DID Steal The Muscle Buster!

Jimshine · Aug 21, 2013

Fact for Joe fans:

Listening to the Steve Austin Show today and his guest was the powerful, acrofatic Samoa Joe.

When Austin asked him where is finisher came from, Joe admitted he saw it on a popular Japanese anime based on pro-wrestling, Ultimate Muscle, or rather, Kinnukman.

I always suspected that Joe had taken the move from the series, knowing that he worked in Japan so much. Being a fan of the series, and Joe, I had to :mark: at the connection.

Here is the move being demonstrated on Tifa from FFVII in sultry German.

WHAT A MANEUVER

No offense OP, but I'm pretty sure that this was common knowledge for years.

Those fish looking people are creepy as fuck.

I thought it was obvious where he got the move if you already knew about the anime show.

So where is the, "stealing" part?

Is there anything that's not creepy in Japan?

I suppose 'stealing' is a loaded term, I simply meant he took it.

"Kinniku Buster". It was also used by the character king in the Tekken game series.

Low-Ki was the first one I saw using it. Where did he find it?

The_AA_Standard · Aug 22, 2013

Only bad thing is that Joe doesn't actually sit down when performing the Kinniku Buster.

I enjoyed this podcast. I had no idea Joe was already 35 years old. Stone cold is really complimentary of him though and has said stuff on Twitter in the past about how he thinks Joe is money and a good worker. I use to love watching him in TNA years ago. Was one of my favorites in the business. Shame I just can't get into his character like I use to.

Isn't it common knowledge that it was used by someone in Japan before Joe used it?

ScottishLuchador · Aug 22, 2013

Hardly breaking news, next thing you know it'll be 'discovered' that Jushin Liger 'stole' the Shooting Star Press from Fist of The North Star

Agreed.

When did the comic first use the move, though? Damian was doing it back in WCW, except he fell to his knees not into a sit-out position.

Yah I remember the move in Tekken from awhile ago. Nowadays though, every move in wrestling has been used before, besides some *really* crazy lucha stuff, even then I'm sure some of that stuff has been used before too.
