1. Vader wasn't in the WWF.
2. Yes Earthquake WAS exceptionally mobile for his size.
3. He had more size on him than Vader did.

Vader and Earthquake were pretty much the same build. Vader was billed at 6'5" 450 lbs and Earthquake was billed at 6'7" 465 lbs. And Earthquake wasn't even in the same realm of mobility as Vader. Vader was doing moonsaults off the top rope :dahell:

What does Vader not being in the WWF mean? He wasn't known? Take that WWF revisionist history bullshyt outta here :camby:

Vader was a MUCH bigger pop culture icon than Earthquake ever was.

Rock bottom
Diamond cutter
Tombstone
Sharpshooter
Pedigree
F-5

And that's just off the top of my head, which finisher you taking off that list?

Tbh Razors edge doesnt look all that cool.

The rest are all time great finishers though

:camby::camby::camby::camby::camby::camby:

talking about fitting gimmicks as a factor and then shyt on the olympic slam and presumably the perfect plex too :shaq2:

the olympic slam didn't look like a lethal maneuver, especially in an era where swinging DDT's were the norm. it was a regular fukkin slam. if it weren't a finisher no one would bat en eye at it.

the perfect plex was top notch though, no arguments there. one of the GOATS. a suplex and a pin combined, the perfect plex.

but yea i have no problem saying earthquake's finisher >>>>>>> angle's

:what:

why you tryna turn this into a ">>> earthquake" thread. i'm sure there's LOTS of ppl you feel are better than earthquake.

you guys are acting as if i called earthquake the GOAT when all i did was prop him up in an appreciation thread.

and neither of the dudes you mentioned had the size that earthquake did. and please bossman was a fukkin goon until his face run. he didn't compare to heel quake.
