I've been a little confused, since people just say "Lariat" and then I have no clue which one they mean. :looney:
From the Super Street Fighter 2 (Genesis) instruction manual...

Spinning Clothesline
New name: Double Lariat

Spinning Lariat
New name: Quick Double Lariat
(hence why it's confusing when people simply say "lariat" I always assume 3K, seriously, why didn't they keep this convention to avoid confusion?)

Spinning Pile Driver
Well, this is still Spinning Pile Driver...so screw all you "Screw Pile Driver" weirdos.

Siberian Bear Grab
New name: Flying Power Bomb
Other names: Running Bear Grab
(and clearly where Alex learned the Hyper Bomb IMHO)

Siberian Suplex
New name: Atomic Suplex
Other names: Russian Suplex

Green Hand
New Name: Banishing Flat
Old names: Banishing Fist, Green Glove, Glowing Hand, Atomic Hand, Nuclear Hand
(The power of Russia! In my hand!)

I'm sorry if some of you hate this thread :confused:

FYI, the "Screw Pile Driver" weirdos are the ones that get it from the JP ver, and IIRC the actual Pro Wrestling move is Screw Pile Driver. =/

Can you find a video of someone jumping ten feet into the air, spinning over 1080 degrees, doing a pile driver?

Cause that's some stuff I want to see...heck, even just jumping five feet into the air and spinning 720 degrees...

I am surprised to see no video of Hulk Hogan was posted...

All in favor of saying screw calling Running Bear Grab anything but 'the crap move' say 'I'?

I'm in favor of a two step plan.

First, we go back to Siberian Bear Grab, then to the 'the crap move' or some other variation of that name.
