The Damn Spear | WrestleZone Forums

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read
I would definately agree with you on the point that the spear has been very overused over the last 5 or so years, but I don't think it's anything that's really blatantly obvious, I mean I didn't even think about it until you started this thread.

Edge I agree has a rather weak looking spear, but you don't need to be a big guy to pull off a spear. Edge used to pull of the spear great, the key is to get kind of a running start and have the move come out of nowhere, but now Edge just crouches in the corner telling the world "Hey, I'm about to go for the spear guys!" and doesn't get a real good running start. When he was first using the move, he mastered it perfectly, and it was always the best spear in the business (yes, better then Goldberg's as well).

Goldberg...meh. The only good thing the guy ever did was keep WCW afloat for a while longer then it really should have. Decent wrestler, not as bad as some make him out to be, but still good enough to make a challenge for a world title (especially when you think of hacks like Lashley, Khali and Batista running around for the World Titles in WWE right now).

Lashley does the move nicely as well...but it's kinda pointless. Once he expands his moveset a bit, gets some mic skills (he's absolute garbage whenever he opens his mouth) and is thrown into a feud he can perform well in (against another amateur wrestling type guy, like Benoit. Their match on RAW the other night was the best I've ever seen Lashley do) and the guy will be believable and enjoyable in the main event. At the moment however, the man is just terrible.

Also, you forgot about Marcus Cor Von (Monty Brown), his move isn't exactly a spear, but god damn is it devastating the way he just charges them like a defensive end in football and knocks them 5 feet in the air and onto their ass.

Still though...nothing better then the good ol' Gore for me. Remember when Rhino first came into the WWE? My god, that spear looked like it broke every one of his opponent's ribs, that move looked insanely painful.
