But long before Goldberg, there was another former football star making the spinebuster famous. WWE and College Football Hall of Famer Faarooq delivered the kind of spinebuster that left no one wondering where the move got its name from. His classic rendition possessed the elevation of DLo Browns, the impact of Ahmed Johnsons and the raw power of Goldbergs. Faarooq would lift his opponent with one arm placed on their chest, before using said arm to slam his foe down with maximum force. There was a wonderful aggression about this one-armed slam, executed with a certain dismissiveness for which Faarooq has become so famed. With that kind of delivery, he just looked so mad with his opponent each and every time he pulled the move off. It may not have brought him a great deal of singles success, but dont let that fool you; only a select few guys could deliver a spinebuster with the emphasis and effectiveness of the former Acolyte Faarooq. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz6F0nVl3tI
