Who makes a regular move look miles better than anyone else?

Sometimes there’s a performer that just adds a little something to a standard move that takes it from a regular move to something that could be a finisher…

Like Athena, I’ve been catching up on Final Battle and God damn her shotgun drop kick looks like the most vicious and impactful run of the mill move out there right now. I don’t know if it’s just her frame and the way she looks when she bends her legs in or if she’s just had great camera angles but ever since she went with this aggressive heel angle it’s been one of the nastiest looking moves on TV.

Who has or had a move like that for you?

The first move that comes to mind is Andrade's spinning elbow (not sure what to call it other than that). It's like the Judas Effect but it looks way more devastating to me.

Much more. Jericho's just doesn't look as impactful.

Not a fan of JBL, but he had a good lariat.

That he did, indeed. One of the few times you watch a move being performed and you just know it will hurt, and there is not much you can do to limit that rofl.

AnonTwo,

The rock made the stunner look like a death sentence. The difference between a good receive and a bad receive of the stunner is night and day.

There's a video on xTwitter that came out in the last day or so of Mick Foley hitting the Double Arm DDT at an indie event, it is still the best Double Arm DDT I have ever seen, Moxley does a pretty good one, but Mick Foley does it best.

Okada, best dropkick in the business.

Miyu Yamashita, the spinning heal kick (the Black Mass), even Black himself basically said hers looks better.

Petey Williams, the Canadian Destroyer. I will give appropriate accolades to Dustin Rhodes however, in a world of "Will you fucking stop spamming Destroyers", Duntin always makes it look real fucking smooth and I still never expect it. Unlike Britt and Cole who you see it being telegraphed before the fucking commercial break.
