At its core, Monty Brown’s Pounce is deceptively simple. A high-impact shoulder tackle akin to a spear - the same spear that gets used (and overused) by numerous talents to set up and finish major matches. But it’s the way Brown executes it that makes it so devastatingly effective.

Combining raw power, explosive speed and peerless charisma, Brown made the move one of the most effective and visually thrilling versions of the tackle in wrestling history. His predatory pacing and his intense glare created a palpable sense of danger. Brown exploding diagonally across the ring with a level of speed and ferocity that few wrestlers can match. His full-body assault is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with every step adding to the momentum of the impending collision.

The impact is where the Pounce becomes truly iconic. Brown doesn’t simply hit his opponent; he obliterates them, all soundtracked by his own primal screams, and commentators and fans wailing the name of the move as he strikes.
