HotShot?
Dominus | Posted on 08/06/03 at 08:26:53 What is a hotshot? I use to think it was a Chopblock (sort of a clothesline/shoulderblock to the back of the leg), but I don't think it is. Can anyone explain? |
rptDX316 | Posted on 08/06/03 at 08:57:52 I might be wrong, but I think it might be a bit like a Stun Gun, Austin's old move where he would drop his opponents onto the rope, throat first. Like I said though, I might be wrong. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/06/03 at 10:39:50 It's the same move as the stun gun, although hotshot is the name it was given after Eddie Gilbert popularized it. |
Dominus | Posted on 08/06/03 at 11:32:30 Ok what's the difference between Lariat & Clothesline? I might be mistaken, but aren't these the same? |
psz | Posted on 08/06/03 at 13:36:45 A lariat tends to have more... Impact. More swing. Look at Bradshaw's lariat compared to a regular clothesline. Sometimes it's got a bit of a roundhouse swing to it. Very brutal when done correctly. Very fun to watch ;-> |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/06/03 at 13:39:19 Very good example. If you've ever seen Hansen's lariat, compared to that even Bradshaw's is tame *g* |
psz | Posted on 08/06/03 at 13:45:57 Well, wanted to give an example this "younger" crowd could follow ;-> And yes, I still think Hansen could have made Big Show fold up like RVD this past monday after that drop kick from Jericho (THAT'S a feud I'd LOVE to see.... If RVD would go back to his ECW Over-Cocky Mr. Monday Night, Whole F'n Show style) |
Fighter_Hayabusa | Posted on 08/06/03 at 16:05:29 Hansen's lariat was so brutal because his vision was terrible and he (obviously) didn't wear his glasses when working. It's like Russian Roulette. :) Maybe he'd hit you across the chest, but maybe he'd forearm your throat or face. FH |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/06/03 at 22:46:20 That's one way I never really looked at it. But you're right - his vision isn't exactly 20:20 ;-) |
H8-Superstar | Posted on 08/07/03 at 00:54:09 Speaking of lariats, watch for Pogo the Clown's version. It's so sloppy that he sent 3 wrestlers to the hospital. |
Yet_Another_Mike | Posted on 08/08/03 at 03:40:32 Since we're talking about lariats here, what the heck is a Western lariat? |

Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/08/03 at 08:28:18 A Western lariat is something like the old Hart Attack Clothesline Bret Hart did, albeit swung like a lariat. The key is to have your arm stay connected to your opponent on his way down with you going down as well into a sitting position. Giant Baba used to do a variation of this that looked more like a Western clothesline ;-) |
Yet_Another_Mike | Posted on 08/09/03 at 21:52:04 Cool! I've always liked the 'double clothesline spot', especially when they both end up in a 'sitting position'. I guess then that this move could be done out of the ropes, or while the wrestler or opponent is running? |
