I finally have come to my senses again, last night dragged out a bit as I met up with an old friend after leaving Jeff, Michael, Joe and Assassin at some bar.
It was nice meeting up with this guy again, he is one of the first people I met in the business, when I still was living in Denmark. He and I spend hours in the gym trying to perfect our ring work and characters... guess who had the most success with that lol.
Actually this guy is the person who laid the foundation for the style and moves I use in the ring today, he introduced me to the idea that a big man doesnt need to only do power moves in the ring, didnt seem right to me at that time, I just wanted to make an impact, it wasnt untill years later in Japan, when I wrestled as part of nWd with Forsaken and Unforgiven I started to see what he meant, and finally when I later met Doomsday that I fully embrased the idea.
Thinking of it now, I probaly have given many trainers and opponents headaches trying to develoap my skill and incorperate new moves into my repetoire.
The think is I love working out new moves, to add some more impact to my ring work, sometimes it goes well, sometimes not, as for example with the Roar Of The Beast. This was a elevatedb cutter of sorts, where I would lift the opponent into the Canadian Rack and then spin twist and turn him while in free fall, the move itself had great impact, but was pretty hard to pull off, in fact I think I only used it once on tv ending the feud between Tribal and me.
Back when I first signed with WWE I was also trying to demonstrate that big men can fly and reguarly used a springboard dropkick, this wasnt one of my greatest plans, cause I dont really have a hard time springboarding off to get elevation with my weight, so it mostly ended with it looking very clumsy and slowly faded away.
In WWE I never took the big risks with how I was wrestling I mostly took the advice from either trainers or other wrestlers on which moves and spots would fit, but back in the indies I did do the occasional high spot and portraing myslf as a more technical wrestler, especially while teaming with Joker in WVW where I reguarly pulled off moonsaults and used a varity of suplexes.
In the end there has been one move that has garuanteed me success The Primal Scream, the Scream has followed me since I started out in the states, although I mostly tried to tone it down in my indy work, in WWE it has become the unbreakable lock, only nearly broken once by Big Show, it has won me many matches and given me a Wrestlemania moment as it secured me the first and only TKO victory at Mania against Kill Crazy.
Although Im still trying to come up with new ways to improve I've gone a bit more traditional in my ring work these days, Im still trying to perfect the Vader Crush and making it work with the rest of my offense, also Im trying to incorporate a Sitout Dominator, but the rest is mostly the same.
Well I better get going, I'll have to hit the gym
See you along road
