Orton,when he uses its done very well,though it worked much better as part of an assault to the head during his legend killer days when he was getting the big push with the kicks in the head.
When they come, they'll come at what you love.

I'm kinda biased, because most of the guys that could qualify here I've never seen, but my vote is Claudio Castagnoli. WOW. His uppercut finisher took my breath away when I first saw it. He made me a mark again for that split second, and I actually thought he broke the guys face.

Big vote to bring this guy into the WWE. Feud with Del Rio or something. :)

"Swiss Death" is the name of Claudio's pop-up European uppercut. Search it on youtube.

All you need to know about Claudio is that when he raises his hand, yell "HEY!" Everything else will fall into place after that.

Lol.

Well I'd like to learn some more about him. All I've ever seen of his work is three matches in FCW, and in that short span of time I've been impressed. If I watch some of his older stuff I'm damn sure I'll be boggled.

Oh WWE, how you've lowered people's expectations of wrestling.

Anyway, back on topic. :P
