Oh yes Guest Columns. I'm doing this for ME because I like lists - most of these are old enough that you don't care. It'd probably work better if I put links to some of that latter stuff on my webpage, but whatever
- Recaps
- Other stuff
- RAW Finishers - this came out of a discussion/mocking of famous WO.com Heat recapper Justin Shapiro and his lack of Rico knowledge. Poor Rico, he can't use his hand signal anymore.
- SmackDown! Finishers - this came out of 15 minutes to kill. Both are on memory and the roster as listed on WWE.com websites.
- Cruiserweight Ladder (pre-SmackDown) - it's been updated but not actually posted
- WCW/WWE Cruiserweight History (title defenses and changes) - Unfinished. (Mostly) complete from Dean's second reign on. There's no Worldwide info till my recaps kick in, and there's probably gaps on the other minor shows; one day when I have time to troll through google's archive (which I need to get better info on the first couple reigns), I'll double check all that. ?'s mean I think it was a title match but the recap doesn't specifically say so; that also needs a double check. This was mostly an exercise to better document history and figure out who had the most defenses (I probably would've have guessed the person but not been close on the number), and a little bit to give me plenty of stuff to write about if I ever would get around to such stuff. At any rate, I'm rather proud of this bit of O/C.
- John Cena raps - because it's my most popular search for whatever reason.
- CMLL Blog - Now with more Homer J Fong
I'm 3 matches into a GdI comp and may finish some more if I don't get a call back soon. All these Cubs night games are messing around with my recapping time.

| #2 Posted on 24.5.03 2035.31 Reposted on: 24.5.10 2035.37 | For Borock Lesnar you describe his finisher as a "spinning fireman's carry into a Diamond Cutter". Wouldn't a more accurate discription be a "Spinning firemans carry into a DDT"?
lately I've noticed Lesnar spinning his opponents onto their backs before the impact. I've only seen this with Angle at Wrestlemania and on Big Show. So it might have been due to angle's neck/Big Show's size. So is the F-5 now a "Spinning firemans carry into a reverse spike DDT"? Or is this just a sometimes thing? | thecubsfan

| #3 Posted on 25.5.03 0118.32 Reposted on: 25.5.10 0120.51 | BRAIN CRAMP. I knew Diamond Cutter couldn't be right but I couldn't remember why.
I haven't made it past the opening of Tajiri/Eddie vs Team Angle yet from this week, so when I get back to it, if there's an F5 as you're talking about, I'll check it out and see if I can help figure out if he's doing something different. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like Cena's DVD, where they appear to be going through so much effort to protect people that it doesn't look much like we're used to seeing it.
Thanks for the correction. | Ubermonkeys

| #4 Posted on 25.5.03 0931.30 Reposted on: 25.5.10 0934.41 | To pick a nit, isn't it really more of a spinning fireman's carry into Kanyon's Flatliner or Edge's Downward Spiral?
When you watch the end of the move (well, before he started this "flipping them onto their backs" business), the conclusion is Brock falling to his back while the victim tends to fall flat to Brock's left side, with Brock's arm just barely holding onto them, if at all. | The King of Keith

| #8 Posted on 27.5.03 1846.51 Reposted on: 27.5.10 1847.02 | RAW's just out there to screw with me. Darn them! They called it "powerslam" on Heat and RAW, so they're undecided/completely forgot.
Re: F5. As most of the free world already knows, there was no F5 on SmackDown!, but via still shot I did see what Brock was doing at Backlash. I *think* it was a neck protection variation of the move (Show's fat so you take extra precautions rather than lose control, and the reasons with Angle are obvious).
I think I'd still call it a DDT, because that's the way the WWE has tried to make them safer - instead of taking the (45 degree) angled bump [which guys like RVD and Val Venis will still do for the exgarrated headstand sell], the vic usually ends up going down flat on their face (like it's some sort of reverse bulldog). | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
