21. Brody King | Gonzo Bomb

AEW

Every time Brody King hits his Gonzo Bomb piledriver, it looks like he’s injured somebody. It looks like he has done nothing to protect them as their head bounces, horrifically, against the canvas.

Brody King has never injured anybody with his Gonzo Bomb piledriver.

It’s a stunning move in and of itself. King is one of those wrestlers who can do anything and make it look brutal. His awesome size helps, as does his aura and look, but it’s more than that. He’s actually incredibly skilled, which his late entrance into the game and wild man persona often obscures.

What’s especially impressive about his Gonzo Bomb is that he’s so assured with it. He doesn’t feign dramatic effect as his opponent positions themselves to take it: it’s a gut-wrench, dominator set-up, onto the top of your head you go, pal. It feels more reckless without actually being dangerous.

The manner in which his opponents take it adds to the oomph, the wince: he holds them in half so much that the smaller guys, like Darby Allin, practically touch their head with their toes.
