100 Best Wrestling Moves EVER
69. D-Lo Brown | Frog Splash
D’Lo Brown’s frog splash was a thing of bizarre beauty. An explosive blend of charisma, athleticism and impact, it was one of the most effective frog splashes in an era full of them, with Brown’s unique take on the leap ensuring just it would stand out amongst and above all the rest.
Launching himself with incredible height and energy, Brown added a signature shake of his shoulders mid-flight, dropping his arms deep in the space between his splayed legs, giving the move a distinct flair that felt entirely his own.
The showmanship didn’t detract from its impact. The slight pause in his descent as he mimicked the titular “frog” created an illusion of added momentum, making the crash onto his opponent seem all the more devastating. Brown’s larger frame compared to other flyers only amplified the move’s believability too. When his chest collided with his opponent’s, it looked like it had the weight to easily finish the job.
