Shoulder breaker is some good shyt. I think with the right guy it could actually be a finisher.

Does anyone do the belly to belly suplex anymore? Not the overhead Steiner/Taz shyt though. The basic version that Shane Douglas would use.

it's not a move, but I want to see heels use the ropes for leverage while the refs not looking....then when the ref looks up he lets them go like :mjpls:

......I want to see the legal tag man go start sh*t with the ref to distract him, and the illegal man jumps in the ring to beat up opponent

Arm Drag Takeover

Flying Headscissors

And any move-set that begins with a Drop Toe hole. Those often involved rope work and lots of movement.

Suckas getting fined for doing piledrivers in the E. Last one was Punk on Cena.
They got fined for it. Both tried being edgy lol like Triple Haitch does when he does the chair shots to the head that's also not permitted.

I say powerbomb. According to Harry Smith, Bulldog's son, they have a lot of moves they do not want you to do. One being powerbomb.

Surprised nobody uses the Perfect Plex as a pin move.

Bo Dallas and Big E Langston does the belly to belly

I miss the piledriver but I understand why they stopped using. I need the heels to get cheap wins again by foreign objects or grabbing the tights, and it's been a minute since I've seen someone cheat by getting a pinfall with their legs on the ropes.

don't see sunset flips or those type of reversals pins as much, I always liked those.

Mine are simple, some may be done that I've missed, but just wish to see them more consistently:
Russian leg sweep (Bret)
Two hand double axel from 2nd rop (Savage)
Chain grappling (Shawn/Angle)
Belly-to-back suplex into pin
Unique/simple pinfall finishes that don't require a finisher ie: Bret/Austin SS96 finish. Seems everything these days, if not a finisher-to-pin is just a cheap schoolboy rollup.

Piledriver of course. I don't mind it being done rarely, maybe once/twice a year with experienced Superstars - like Punk/Cena last year. The build up to that move always has people going :ohlawd:
