Corkscrew Blockbuster

A move CM Punk didn't use much after 2002. He looks to send Chris Hero into the turnbuckle, but Hero reverses. Punk uses that momentum to land a Corkscrew Blockbuster.

No wonder he stopped using this move. He fractured his skull and was out of action for 3 months.

@DevilTakeMe They really do need a grand exodus to pull their collective head out of there asses.

@ThunderFilez I believe that fractured Punk's skull.

@JKTube Which makes -that- different because he was already using it in WCW, and the WWF paid for those entertainers to come to the WWF with those gimmicks and styles.

[JKTube]

@DevilTakeMe: The difference was that WCW tried to turn Booker T. INTO the Rock after Booker T. defeated Jarrett for the first of his five WCW World Heavyweight Championships.

[DevilTakeMe]

@JKTube Then again, it -was- WWE-owned WCW at that time, there was some crossover at that time. Circumstances at that juncture were different. The Rock and the Rock Bottom on one hand, Booker T and the Book End on the other. Same move.

@DevilTakeMe: Actually, I don't think WWE would have a problem with someone using Buffy the Workrate Slayer's move. Hurricane used it for a time and I remember the announcers calling it the Overcast. In 2001 Bagwell and Helms got into a real life fight at WWE's training center. Helms came out of it without a scratch and Buffy needed medical attention. Then he put on that terrible performance on Raw and Austin and Angle threw him out of the arena. Buh-bye. :P

[DevilTakeMe]

@JKTube Yep. In this case, the Blockbuster was a move that Buff Bagwell had used, and it's kind of hard to say whether Punk would be asked not to use it.

[JKTube]

@DevilTakeMe: Doring and Roadkill had used it in the old ECW, calling it the Lancaster Lariat of Lust. Haas and Benjamin use it in ROH where the announcers call it "Wrestling's Greatest Finisher."

[DevilTakeMe]

@hehehe88 We all know that, but there is a belief that WWE writers don't watch other Wrestling programs, and are "locked" into the idea. As Doring pointed out, no one had used the Hart Attack in over a decade, yet the WWE flipped out when more modern wrestlers used the move.

It's just their twisted way of thinking over there, and more importantly, why wrestling as an industry is in the state it is now.
