There will be select fans getting all antsy about the fact that Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg are mentioned here at all. Screw that. When they run full force at others and football tackle them into the mat, it's always a good time. The best thing about their respective Spears is that they come with subtle differences.

Reigns is more likely to blast a wrestler's core like he's a human dart, whereas Goldberg lifts their legs slightly to give the impression that he's the one taking them off their feet. Both approaches have merit, and they're barely noticeable at full speed anyway. The humble Spear is fantastic when performed with intensity.

It must have that intensity, and simplicity.

Bobby Lashley's flip Spear looks cool, but it's a bit sillier than the ones Reigns and Goldberg employ. They go in there with full-blooded intent to maim, and don't tack-on unnecessary 'flipz' to earn bonus points from those seeking something a bit more technical.
