It's been awhile since I saw that. The last time I think when Kurt Angle did it way before he was released. Instead of Jack Swagger, the meathead Ryback did it! It was sweet seeing that. Now I hope he does it a lot and add more suplexes to his arsenal of moves.

Good call, I enjoyed that as well. In fact there were a number of suplexes last RAW, even a delayed vertical suplex by Jericho and a tandem suplex at one point.

I love the belly-to-belly suplex, but so many people did it very sloppily/dangerously in the past. Lesnar and Angle had some good ones, but guys like Edge and Rock who did not have that amateur background did some really poor ones.

Ryback has thrown a belly-to-belly a few times and they've all looked good. It's nice seeing a big monster like that do some technical moves instead of just of just tossing bodies around.
Oh really? Maybe all of them are on other shows. I can't recall him doing it on RAW. I don't watch Smackdown. And now he is becoming better than Goldberg. Almost there.

Isn't it more up to the opponent when it comes to how the move comes off? It's at least equal. To fault Rock for his belly-to-bellys wouldn't be fair, since a majority of his opponents wouldn't (and couldn't) take it. He did a pretty nice-looking suplex to Eddie Guerrero, but then, that was mostly because Eddie understood how to take and sell moves from any size worker. Many others do not.

Anyway, I feel like there was a suplex uprise in the early 2000s, with Taz and Angle and Benoit, among others, all throwing them, and lots of them. Personally, I miss the Regalplex, but Randy Orton ensured we'll never see that again.
