High School Football Player Channels Ron Simmons

They used Simmons' finishing move on the football field? DAMN.

Football and wrestling go together in that they involve people throwing other people to the surface below them in violent fashion. Sometimes, the way in which football players tackle their opponents resemble wrestling moves. German suplexes on the gridiron are probably the most common, starting Brian Dawkins taking Amani Toomer to Suplex City back in the salad days of the Andy Reid Eagles, but players have given Samoan drops, Boss Man slams, Alabama slams, nodawa otoshis, the Fall of Man and yes, even a RKO (even if it was an Instagram stunt, I'm counting it). Now, thanks to Tennessee high school football, you can add Ron Simmons'/Faarooq's Dominator to the list:
Some tried identifying it as a Ganso bomb, but the impact is all on the chest and front. I'd call it a crude Styles Clash before a Ganso bomb, but really, it's a Dominator without the follow-through. But seriously, if #7 in the gray jersey doesn't find football to be a fulfilling career path, I'm sure several wrestling schools around the country would love to have him learn from the best how to do that kind of thing in the squared circle.
