The Top Ten Moves of CIMA

Once again, a Thank You goes out to PWG for this video, as a great number of the clips come from there.


CIMA began his career as a first class graduate of the Toryumon dojo. Using his connections, Ultimo Dragon secured him, and fellow graduate Magnum TOKYO some matches on WCW cards. Back in Japan, CIMA's stock began its rise. In a year's time, he would be invited to the 2000 Super J Cup. CIMA ran roughshod over the competition thanks to his signature Mad Splash, marching his way to the finals against Jushin "Thunder" Lyger, almost winning the match at many points. Back in Toryumon, CIMA founded the Crazy MAX group, and waged war on Magnum TOKYO, even costing him his hair at one point. CIMA also competed in the 2003 El Numero Uno tournament, defeating the likes of YOSSINO, and arch rivals Susumu Yokosuka and Genki Horiguchi, whom he defeated in the spectacular finals. Around this time, CIMA's knees started giving out due to the Mad Splash, and he adopted the move that is still his preferred finishing move today: The Schwein. With the founding of Dragon Gate, CIMA started another group known as Blood Generation, along with Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, and Don Fujii. He also became the first Open the Dream Gate Champion, and defeated Susumu Yokosuka in a spectacular bout after debuting the Schwein Redline. He brought Doi and Yoshino with him to ROH in 2006, and the trio took on the Do Fixer team of Ryo Saito, Genki Horiguchi, and Dragon Kid in what would be ROH's 2006 MOTY. CIMA also made his way to PWG, competing in the Battle of Los Angeles tournament in a strong showing. In 2007, Blood Generation dissolved, and CIMA formed Typhoon with Susumu Yokosuka, Ryo Saito, and Dragon Kid(with Pac occasionally teaming with them). CIMA also brought back the Open the Dream Gate Title from Jushin "Thunder" Lyger, and defeated Naruki Doi in September of 2007 in an incredible bout in which CIMA was nearly decapitated by the Muscular Bomb. CIMA once again competed in PWG's Battle of Los Angeles tournament, this time coming out the winner. However, Due to the Muscular Bomb, CIMA's neck was nearly destroyed, and he was forced to take considerable time off, and even after returning, CIMA has seen limited action. CIMA's style is one that's very difficult to prepare for, as he has many signature moves and finishers. The Schwein is his preferred method of finishing his opponent, with the Redline always there in case the Schwein isn't enough. The Crossfire is CIMA's most recent innovation, and has put down some big names in the past couple of years.

What's the technical name for the crossfire? It looks almost like he's going for a package piledriver, but then it turns into some sort of powerbomb variation

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Double Pumphandle Pyramid Driver

[Haurko01]

Top Tens of Sexy Star, ElZorro, LaParka, Cheerleader Mellissa. and Natalya Neindheart Please?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Melissa and Parka both have vdieos. Nattie likely won't get one unless I stumble on a great deal of footage, and I don't follow the work of Zorro or Star that closely.

[Haurko01]

Top Ten Moves of BXB Hulk please?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

It's going to be very difficult, since the majority of his work is with Dragon Gate.

[seb2112]

CIMA is one of the top 10 best wrestlers right now! dream match: KENTA vs CIMA in a `loser has to stop spelling his name in caps` match

[00AwesomeOne00]

Damn, why I always feel sorry for El Generico everytime I see him being destroyed? His selling is sick...

[UnorthodoxWarfare]

[TheSuicidalDragon]

They've been pissy about it for a few years now, actually. Myself, ThunderFilez, Rob Viper, bepro, and a few others have had accounts lost to them over time.

[pharrison0072010]

With the new Corner moves in Smackdown 2011, I can at last do CIMA justice!

[OniNoSweeney]

has he stopped using the Schwein submission variant, or did it just not make the cut, because that's my favorite.
