The Top Ten Fisherman Moves in Wrestling History

Marching ahead with the variations videos, this time highlighting Fisherman style move. This was one of the original move variations videos that was put up oh so long ago, and I feel that this revamp has made it much better than the original. From the Fisherman position, there are so many moves possible, and over the years, many of those possibilities have become reality. This style of move dates back to the 1980s, with a couple of certified legends using it to enhance a Suplex, and from that point on, many more moves came from it, such as variations of the Powerbomb, Brainbuster, or the Michinoku Driver. A great deal of these moves shown here are finishing moves to some capacity, with one or two now taking the role of a big match finisher. Many of these are likely familiar with most of you.

Would a french bomb fall under a fisherman's variation?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

I'm not sure I'm familiar with the move, to be honest.

@TheSuicidalDragon Yo! Do you have a "Top Ten Springboard Moves" yet, or should I wait a bit?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

It's still in the works.

[RileyIronstand93]

Is "Cradle shock" by Chris Sabin a Fisherman Variation?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Nope. His rarely used(by comparison, anyway) Future Shock is a Fisherman style move.

[Mistertbones]

Very good list. Can't do it without the Perfect Plex!

[HeavyWeightGunner]

I love Low ki as a wrestler.... but he is so underrated.

Graveyard Smash and Ki Krusher

[HamzaA001]

the graveyard smash is wicked :P

[delacroixwalrus]

Unless the leg of the victim forms a hook, it cannot be a Fisherman move.

[thewordwasaphex]

Wow, God's Last Gift and the Pole Shift actually look like they're an inch away from legitimately killing you...

[GeneralKuno]

The second one looked like the Dangan Bomb.

@TheSuicidalDragon

I think it's a name of a move in the wwe games lol

[Takerfan108]

Graveyard Smash owns all!
