Just based off the fact that i've chokeslammed adults, kids, toys, animals, etc. gotta go Chokeslam easily




And at Road Dogg weird ass

The Pumphandle got a nomination?

Paul Heyman?

I would hope that nobody votes for the pump handle slam.
The only one of the posted that even looked like anything worth a damn was this one by Scott Steiner:

The Pumphandle Slam Test did was solid.

Paul Heyman?

on Wiki it says it was invented by him but they might’ve been trolling

 

[El Guapo]

Chokeslam solely because it didn’t have any Road Dogg shenanigans

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Pumphandle Slam is aside from a few guys that did it. Ended up changing Snitsky's finisher in SVR 07 from that to a running big boot I think

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Eh the Pumphandle slam has always been just an ok move to me, even when Wrath and Test were doing it

 

[DAH Padre]

Choke slam. I hate all forms of the pump handle slam.

 

[HollywoodP]

Wrath had a nasty Pumphandle slam...but I still gotta laugh at the results.

 

[Novembruh]

Why are none of the pumphandle slam gifs even the same move outside of the two Roddy ones? This shyt got variation on top of variation. And absolutely none of them match the sheer violence of a well-executed chokeslam
Road Dogg's fallaway version was clean as fukk, looking back(outside of the ) And Steiner being Steiner and giving not a solitary fukk about whoever he was working with. Swear to god that nikka so callous it's comedy

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

one of my favorites, this was the exact chokeslam used for the animation on the Royal Rumble dreamcast game
