the Crunch Loop is also known as The Trailer Hitch in WWE. During his first run with the WWE, James Gibson (Jamie Noble) used it (and apparently innovated it) as a finisher. I'm going to assume it's an adoption from a friend, similar to Roderick Strong adopting the Tiger Driver from Gibson after he left ROH
I'm confused. They have a clip on the AJPW website for Final Cut but it shows the Inverted Brainbuster. O.o

The WA4 and the Power Plant looks the same to me. What's the difference between the two?

@ZigRoc97 Oh wait I just figured it out the power plant is a wrist clutch variation of the WA4.

Actually, the Schwein has the victim on one shoulder of the attacker, as opposed to them being across the back.
TheSuicidalDragon 2 years ago
when its across the back, i always think its a lazy schwein

Yoji Anjoh did the Trailer Hitch long before Jamie Noble ever did it.

@Mistertbones when I heard that Gibson "Innovated" the move, I did kinda doubt it - so thanks for telling me who did it before him :)

God, that inverted brainbuster was epic. The Tope was scary with the amount of speed Kaz built up, he flew out of the ring like a cannonball.

I remember seeing this guy in WCW about 10 years ago...man, they so underused him.
Homer177 2 years ago
Well think about it, 60-75% of the WCW roster was probably underused in that era. It was all veterans, all NWO, all the time.

And now it's happening again with TNA. Sad, those guys had a lot of potential, but they squandered it.
