#4. The Brainbuster - Austin Aries
Type of Maneuver: Vertical drop DDT.
Trending
Who invented the move: Most credit Killer Karl Kox with the invention of the brainbuster. Apparently, Kox hefted a large opponent up for a standard vertical suplex but lost his balance and dropped straight down, inventing the move by accident.
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
Description: After applying a front face lock, one hefts the opponent up into the air as if for a vertical suplex, but instead of falling backward kicks the legs out and drops straight down.
Strengths: Devastating move, knockout potential.
Weaknesses: Difficult to perform against large opponents, does not lead directly into a pinfall.
A brainbuster is one of the more dangerous, and exciting, moves in pro wrestling. Austin Aries has been using the move for years, but at one time it was a staple pro wrestling move. Interestingly, in Japanese fandom, a brainbuster refers simply to a vertical suplex, while a Vertical drop brainbuster is used to differentiate from this finisher.
