Sweet Chin Music is a move that took a while for me to warm up to. Back in the day, I thought it was too weak to be a finisher, mainly because as an ignorant youth, I saw finishers as either elaborate top rope moves or as grapple holds. Only recently have I realized the simple beauty of a knockout kick to the jaw as a death finisher.
In keeping with the week's flavor, this one comes from WrestleMania 24, Flair vs. Michaels. It's hard to quantify the best SCM of all-time, but this one may be the most famous, the most emotional and the most effective. "I'm sorry. I love you." One of the top five WrestleMania moments ever, easily.
awesome stuff! Too bad Ric is killing his legacy over @ TNA
ReplyDeleteDude, we have been on the same nerdy brainwave for the past two days or something. We both did a MITB thing and an HBK thing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that "I'm sorry" definitely seems to hold much more weight, given what Flair is up to now. Bet you wish you didn't kick your idol in the face now, EH SHAWN?!? *sob*
I know, right? Although I had the MitB thing in mind for awhile, I was stunned (actually not really) that you also posited a Christian win to close out the match/show.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think you're the Canadian me when it comes to wrestling. Name your favorite ROH wrestler in 3-2-1... (if you say Austin Aries, I'm gonna lose it)
DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!
