It's totally a Stan Hansen tribute, then Kinnikuman, then probably JBL.
But JBL doesn't spit out beer. And Raiden doesn't follow up with an epic german suplex like Neptuneman, so I think this is like a Stan Hansen Eye-Popping WESTERN LARIATTO
@ninjachipzanuff : Lazy???? Dude, have you ever seen Pro Wrestling??? Its called Strong Lariat aka Clothesline from Hell. One of the most devastating finisher in Pro Wrestling!!!! It really fits his personality.
@initialdody Except Raiden in general doesn't have enough frames of animation. Look at his winning pose... better yet, look at his pose in this video before starting the Neo MAX - other characters get an angry expression, Joe spins his arm etc. but Raiden just freezes there like this is SSF2T.
The Spin is a nice mix of something anime, mixed with the ridiculousness of wrestling. I've always seen Raiden as just a tad Goofy (I blame FF2!), so I think it fits.
Reminds me of the way I felt when I first saw Napalm Stretch from Clark...

@KingLazerman But Raiden IS Bear! Big Bear and Raiden are respectively the "face" and "heel" versions of the same person. (It's a wrestling thing.)

Look at his arm when it hits. It's bent. That's Hogan's Axe Bomber.

I liked it. It's not really long and drawn out and rainbow lightning is awesome.

But yeah. It's kinda underwhelming, like Iori's first Neomax before the fix and the red backgrounds.
But still, LARIATTO

@kheithenightmare Isn't Hulk Hogan another reason the lariat (or Axe Bomber) is so prevalent in Japan?

@GrizzlyCarter Well yeah. Hogan knocked out Antonio Inoki with that move.
