I don't know about top ten finisher of all-time, but I'd put it top 20 for sure and Quake is a top ten big man of all-time. Matter fact that needs a thread right there.

Quake is my original favorite wrestler. Always picked him in Wrestlefest and I'm always hoping he gets in the new wrestling games.

After the people's elbow, he was jobbing clean to Taker, Angle, and Lesnar

I mean there as a period of about a year around WM 6 & 7 where he was a legit top tier heel, by default of working with Hogan

But he wasn't underappreciated by anystretch.


Small fact: He went to LSU, hence the LSU Tiger on his arm.

I've heard that he was one of the nicest guys in wrestling. Also a legendary sumo wrestler.

I would hate to have a 450 lb. Man sit on my chest kayfabe or not. Finisher not as visually devastating as a say a Tombstone, but that shyt looked rough. Yoko took it to another level with the Banzai.
