For me its between two guys, London & Bourne. Out of those two i'd choose London. To me, London just did it a bit better. What i do to see those to match up right now. Does anyone know if they've feuded anywhere? I'm not exactly properly educated in much of the Indie stuff prior to the past few years or so and even then my knowledge is lacking.

I always thought Kidman's looked the best. Devon Moore and Pac have good ones too.

You can't just use the one Lesnar botched as an example.

Lesnar should be given props for his considering how far he can go with it. Crazy sh*t.....

I give Lesnar points for the attempt but it just looks so ugly.

Bourne's is the best looking, but I think Kidman's has the best impact.

Matt Sydal was able to convince McMahon to let him use the SSP after it was banned. So I think he gets props for that.

However Kidman is number 1 in my opinion

I picked up Lesnars book "DeathClutch" two days ago, and it's amazing.

When he was working dark matches in WWE before he got on TV, he would end every match with a Shooting Star Press. But, it may have been Curt Hennig or somebody from management, told him to leave flying around to the smaller guys, because Lesnar already had size to draw people in.

Before his WM match with Kurt, Laurinitis pulled him aside and said to finish the match with the SSP, and JR agreed, saying it was his Mania Moment (he got one anyways, even though he botched it, it was still pretty memorable). So, he agreed, but was not sure about it. And the rest is well known.

Anyways, back on topic. I like Lesnars the most, just because of the distance he can go. He weighs a lot more than smaller guys, and can still throw all of his weight that far.

Kidman's was top, until Bourne/Sydal came along, He gets air you couldn't imagine on it.

Kidman's was just always spot on.
