The Best Moves of All-Time: Jawbreaker Lariat

Everyone does a clothesline, but few do a lariat. What's the difference? A lariat looks like it will legitimately fuck your day up. The most famous users of the lariat are Stan Hansen, Kenta Kobashi and John Bradshaw Layfield, but among those in the indies, none was more feared than the dreaded Jawbreaker Lariat from Nigel McGuinness. His ranks up there with the aforementioned all-timers (and JBL), and he probably gets points since he doesn't have to do it shoot-style like Hansen (because unlike Hansen, he can see, you see). His also looks as stiff as Kobashi's, although Nigel can thank puroresu's influence on the American indies for that. Anyway, enjoy!
