I think Andrade might be on to something with that dump slam finish. I know it gets harder the higher up in weight you go, but Lawler almost slept Askren by slamming him on his head, and we saw Kevin Randleman basically power bomb a guy to death, and he was at least a LHW.
More grapplers and fighters in general should start just dropping their opponent on their fucking head. I know it's easier said than done, and if it was so easy everyone would be doing it, but you see HIGH level wrestlers and grapplers get a hold of guys and very easily break their balance and secure a takedown.
But for some reason, maybe just from years of training, I dont know, most fighters will just pick an opponent up off of their feet and plant them down in order to gain a dominant ground position.
Some of the best fighters, Kamaru Usman for example, has a high motor pressure style that continuously forces you to keep good posture and defend losing ground/getting taken down. His takedowns look so effortless, he dominated Woodley, if he would have focused on snatching him near the cage in a bent body position, he could of lifted him off his feet and generated enough torque to piledrive him.
Think about how awesome it would be if Khabib just said fuck the ground game bullshit, I'm gonna wrestlefuck this guy but instead of trying for a technically sound, high percentage td that leads to GnP or a sub attempt, im going to try and tombstone this fucker into oblivion instead.
Guys would have signature moves and shit. Like DC could have some sort of lift DDT, or maybe even pull a fucking WWF Raven era even flow DDT on a motherfucker and see where it goes.
If someone pulls it off again maybe we will see our first KO from a stone cold stunner or a rock bottom!
