This is where cultures clash.... In Japan the tombstone is a set up and the lariet is the finish... It really bothered me at first, but I've come to appreciate a hard lariet...
Yea when I first got back into NJPW, WH Park of Japanese Audio Wrestling (LAW Podcast Family) mentioned it and it stuck with me.

I still say it is a dumb transition of moves
 
Showed someone the Okada/Omega match.

She said the match was good but mentioned MANY times how weak the RainMaker move is.

I never even thought about it.

But that move IS weak looking compared to everything else that was done in that match

I live the shirt arm clothesline as a finisher..Very old school..And Okada's looks really effective..

The Rainmaker is a move that severely needs that Marvel vs Capcom SuperCombo special effect to really sell the move. That zoom out is a dope touch tho :Nthat

The lariat is a goat finishing move in Japan, but Okada is for sure the most frail looking dude to use it as a finisher :lol

Need my Stan Hansen western lariats

Speaking of lariats

TOO many people sell the modern day clothesline by FLIPPING.

My god man. It is soooooooooooooooooo annoying
 
It is wild when a child looks up to a wrestler and is later put in the same category as that wrestler.

I am sure JBL cheeses when he hears people putting his lariat in the same breathe as Hansen
 






Awesome chemistry between these 2

And after going back and watching some older Seth stuff, I think we can safely dead the little "Rollins was meant to be a babyface" meme
