Low key,

in SMACKDOWN on Playstaion 1...they got that move SO RIGHT...the camera would pan out behind rock's back with mad camera's flashing, and S M A C K D O W N ! would scroll across the screen...you KNEW YOUR HOMIE was OUT like a mug...

The clothesline from hell had EVERYONE selling like ziggler you hit mark henry with it he does a 720 and lands outside of the ring

 

[Geek]

Its just a weak spirit bomb.

Crush had the Khali Vice Grip, except the opponent was in a seated position

I like BunkHouse Brown shoot, he said the Rock was discussing creating the people's elbow with him and he said "why the fukk would I let you jump over me twice and then do an elbow? I'll hit you in the nuts the 2nd time you jumped"

 

[OGmittee]

always hated that move...but its his flare so fukk it....i remember when he was still NOD and doing that move in the rumble and it meant absolutely nothing at the time..he made that shyt gold and paved the way for your 5 Knuckle Shuffles and that worm shyt

came in to post this

he just hyped it up and threw a little more flair and suspense to it by pausing and lookin at the crowd

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Ok, at least it makes sense. Kofi Kingston's boom drop, the dude runs the ropes just before he does it What is the fukking use if your going to stop, touch his stomach, taunt and then do the move. WHY THE fukk ARE YOU RUNNING THE ROPES!?!

thats essentially the same thing. Rocky runs the ropes....stops...takes off his elbow pad/taunts...and does the move

Nah Its Strugglespine buster, flex muscles like he is going to shyt his pants, stand over opponent and look into the crowd, extend arm to pull off the elbow pad, throw it into the crowd, criss cross the arms, one rope, two rope, stop with a partial delay with taunt and then the drop.

 

[Bud Bundy]

6:00 mark...

Would you agree? How did that move get so over? Was it just a case of The Rock telling us it was the most electrifying move in sports entertainment so often that we just started to play along?

Are there any other stars now that can sell a move that (let's be honest) ridiculous as a finisher?

No disrespect to the People's Elbow, of course.

I threw many-a-beauty-supply wristband in middle school into a fake crowd before dropping the bow on my boys.

...had to be the swagged out variations. :wowwow:

the worm and hogans leg drop come to mind.

I miss that detail when it comes to finishers

 

[Cladyclad]

A 6’3 260lb dude dropping a elbow to your chest is devastating if u really think about it

 

[Wolfpac]

When you get the timing just right and hit the move on No Mercy.

 

[BrehWyatt]

Anticipation and blatant fan service gets it every time.

As soon as he hit that body slam/spinebuster, you knew what time it was. And once he learned to take his time with it, it was over in more ways than one. Throw the elbow pad in the crowd, that's a lifelong souvenir, too.

 

[BrehWyatt]

He got from one of the best

This shyt here is magical

They also did it when Kurt Angle kicked out of it at No Way Out 2001.

But how is OP going to link the godly triple threat cage match and not lank the move in question (7:11)



dat pop (mind you he was still technically a "heel" going into this match)

The sequence from 6:45 to 7:30 is one of the single-greatest flurries of offense you'll see.
