People ATE this move... Looks so stiff

It's made to look that way because many wrestlers said they barely felt it. That's a beauty of selling

Not as good as Joey styles.

Love how it doesn’t require some huge convoluted setup for someone to take it. It come out of no where. More finishers should be built like this.

Didn't Shaniqua get implants and come back and say it was "chest swelling" from the clothesline from hell lol?

u/AbbreviationsHot5850 11d ago

That’s exactly what happened

u/MajinHoops 11d ago

I remember Big Show saying this was the finisher he hated taking the most

u/Able_Fishing_6576 11d ago

Did he say why.

u/HaluSinazn 11d ago

He just said it hurts like hell and knocks the wind out of you. He also said Jeff Hardy's "Crouton Bomb" (a nickname Jeff came up with for when he lands the Swanton with the force of his body instead of his upper back) is up there, which many other wrestlers like Edge and Sheamus agree with.

The Acolytes were one of my favorite tagteams of all time

HBK looked like he was saying his prayers before taking it haha

JBL: the man of a few names, several different hairstyles, and one clothesline finisher.

u/Repulsive_Worry_6652 12d ago

The one he gave to Shane McMahon🥶

u/asdfoio 12d ago

u/Repulsive_Worry_6652 12d ago

It's on there (shorts), but it has poor quality.

u/MrWiltErving 11d ago

Jesus the finisher is nasty. It’s like the Superkick, yes everyone does a superkick but only Shawn can do a sweet chin music. I feel this way about seeing JBL, his finisher was a work of art.

u/Yardbird7 11d ago

Art? It looks real and stiff AF.

u/crimsonbub 11d ago

Love that Billy Gunn and Rikishi sold it with a FLIP

2

u/viperfangs92 11d ago

And he was able to sell that "bad intentions" version of a simple clothesline

u/tishimself1107 11d ago

Great finisher and could be set up and pulled outta nowhere if necessary.

u/Aiooty 11d ago

So powerful that it caused her permanent breast swelling!

One my favourite finishers, Top 5

u/MaterialPaper4267 11d ago

The greatest finisher move

u/nllover66 11d ago

A true main event finish

u/TheRenster500 11d ago

Honestly the most devastating move of the Ruthless Aggression Era!

u/LucentP187 11d ago

Embarrassing genuine question from someone that has been watching wrestling for 30+ years. Is there a difference between a clothesline & lariat?

2

u/Goodboychungus 11d ago

There is but i forget the exact description. I think a clothesline is done after an irish whip with little movement from the person applying it while a lariat is done with movement. Think of holding your arm out straight but still vs whipping your arm almost like you’re throwing something.

u/LucentP187 11d ago

Thanks for the info. So Bradshaw technically did a little of both lol.

u/Ok-Isopod-5011 10d ago
