I was playing WWF Raw (the video game) the other day and busted out my created wrestler. One of his finishers is the sickest looking move I have ever seen, the musclebuster. King also uses this move in Tekken 3.
My question is, does anyone know who performs this move in real life? I'd wager someone in Mexico or Japan, but I want to see it in action for myself, to see if it looks anywhere as devestating as in those games.
The move starts like a vertical suplex, but the person applying it hooks both legs. When he gets the victim vertical, he drops to a knee (well, King jumps to a knee) and lets the victim fall behind him

Daisuke Ikeda (Pro Wrestling NOAH) uses it as his finish.
I also, believe it or not, saw it busted out on WCW Saturday night several years ago by Rey F'ing Misterio in a match against Juvi (5 or 6 out of several thousand, collect 'em all!), both were still wearing their masks but I don't recall much more than that about the timeframe. Rey's version had him dropping down to both knees.
I was, needless to say, shocked. I'd only ever seen it at that time in one of the Fire Pro Wrestling games. Made me a Rey mark instantly, heh.

I remember watching Chavo Guerrerro Jr. using that move during his tenure in WCW. If I recall, it wasn't even a finish but just a midmatch move for him.
That move is great. The only move cooler is the fictional SUPER Muscle Buster that invaded Fire Pro G on PSX. It's a Muscle Buster, but the wrestlers end up jumping off the screen as opposed to just dropping down. ^_^
