The Best Moves Ever: Muscular Bomb

There are some moves that are classic, ingrained with an all-time great and indelible in their place in wrestling history. Some moves inspire awe in the amount of skill it takes to pull them off. Some moves are graceful beyond description. Some submission moves blur the lines between shoot and work.

And then there are just some moves that are great because they're good, old-fashioned head drops. The Muscular Bomb is one of those. It's a half-nelson wheelbarrow neck driver. It's also Naruki Doi's finisher, and it's probably my favorite finisher in wrestling right now. I got to see it done live at Open the Historic Gate, and now, you get to see it on Youtube. Enjoy.
