Wrestler in All of Us: Difference between revisions

May be part of a [[Meteor Move]]. See also [[Suplex Finisher]] and [[Spinning Piledriver]].

 

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Lena from ''[[Mai-Otome 0 Sifr]]'' pulls of a suplex against M-9 in the last episode, and like the [[Superman]] example below, she does it '''from orbit'''.

* [[Ken Akamatsu]] began the shinmeiryuu style in his [[The Verse|Verse]] with ''[[Love Hina]]'' as a [[Supernatural Martial Arts|super-powered]] [[Implausible Fencing Powers|swordsmanship]] school. With ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', he decided to introduce the Nagewaza branch, a short series in shinmeiryuu grappling techniques. Suddenly a sword style that mostly relies on [[Twinkle Toes Samurai|graceful dashes]] and acrobatics has Setsuna do a frankensteiner for [[Murderous Thighs|kicks]] and [[Rule of Cool|coolness]].

* In ''Love Attack'', Chiemi's dad was a professional wrestler (and was the top [[Heel]] in the country on top of that), so it's not surprising that when he or his daughter get into fights, wrestling moves get broken out. And given his Heel status, dirty moves get thrown in as well.

* In ''[[Girls Bravo (Manga)|Girls Bravo]]'', Kirie often does lots of wrestling moves to both [[Accidental Pervert|Yukinari]] and [[Chivalrous Pervert|Fukuyama]] whenever she thinks they are doing something perverted (which is a lot). Fukuyama actually has her compete in his all girls wrestling tournament because of it.

* [[Futaba Kun Change (Manga)|Futaba]] regularly uses wrestling moves since he's a member of his school's pro wrestling club. His teammates regularly ambush him with moves.

* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' has two characters who use the "Jushiki Muteki-Ryuu" style. One of its cherished techniques, the "Goufubaku", translates to "Mighty Axe Explosion"....and looks remarkably like [[Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan's]] Axe Bomber lariat.

** [[Having a Blast|Mr. Five]] gave a pretty massive lariat to Luffy.

* Miaka, from ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', not only uses the Tiger Driver '97 move on some random ruffians, she CALLS THE ATTACK.

* In ''[[Cursed 2005 (Film)|Cursed 2005]],'' the main protagonist (geek-recently-turned-werewolf) uses several [[Narm|Narmtastic]] pro wrestling moves while trying out for the school wrestling team, including a backwards suplex in which his opponent is obviously helping him.

* Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in ''[[The a Team (Film)|The a Team]]''. In the climactic sequence, B.A. Baracus executes a scoop slam on {{spoiler|Pike, before dropping him directly on his neck mid-move.}} Bad Attitude indeed.

* The main character of ''Battle Girl'', AKA ''Living Dead in Tokyo Bay'' is played by ''joshi'' wrestler Cutey Suzuki, who fights an enemy [[Super Soldier]] unit made up of fellow ''joshi'' wrestlers Devil Masami, Eagle Sawai, Miss A and Shinobu Kandori. Needless to say, wrestling moves are included.

* Without a ''doubt'', the most unbelievable instance of this is in the old Game Boy game ''[[Mole Mania]]''. You play as a mole, who, among other things, can perform ''suplexes'', not on his enemies, but on ''steel balls, cabbages, and barrels''. Crazy? Yes. [[Crazy Awesome]]? HELL YES!

* In the arcade lightgun shooter ''[[Ghost Squad]]'' (also available for the Wii), at one point after passing a hand-to-hand combat test you perform a suplex on a terrorist, [[Groin Attack|after punching him in the crotch]]. You also high-five the President in this game.

** Konoha also joins the list of [[Ninja]] who use the Izuna Drop piledriver.

* ''[[Saints Row the Third]]'' goes all out on this trope. In addition to various characters, from the Boss to Oleg to Angel, busting out all kinds of wrestling moves multiple taunts the Boss can potentially have are taken from [[Hulk Hogan]] (who voices the afforementioned Angel), [[John Cena]] and [[Ric Flair]] and Killbane himself uses multiple wrestling terms such as "high spot", no surprise since he's an evil [[Masked Luchador]]... hell he leads an entire gang of them! Volition seems to have quite a number of wrestling fans on their staff.

* ''[[Xeno Gears]]'': Rico, being a former champ in his own right tends to use a lariat, suplex and powerbomb in his arsenal.

* Hawk from ''[[Vendetta]]'' is an obvious Hulk Hogan clone, so obviously some of his techniques look like wrestling moves.
