10 Most Impractical Wrestling Moves

8. The Tiger Flowsion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzcXHZf_R4A Naomichi Marufuji is an impressive wrestler. He has competed and won championships in all three of Japan€™s top wrestling promotions, and has also innovated a lot of impressive moves, including the Shiranui. He€™s also one of the better practitioners of the earlier entry, the Solo Spanish Fly. Yet one of the moves he innovated seems wildly impractical: the Tiger Flowsion, which is a combination of two pre-existing moves: The Emerald Fusion, a Sitout Side Powerslam, and the Tigerbomb, the Double Underhook Powerbomb. As the above video shows, the move is strange in its execution. Marufuji bends his opponent over and lifts them as if to execute a Tigerbomb, then slightly turns himself to one side and grabs his already falling opponent as though he had executed a Powerslam. Although that sounds very impressive, if you actually look at the move, it looks rather strange. It€™s almost as if the move was created by accident, and he just went with it. In principle, it isn€™t a good idea to start using one move than switch to another one entirely. Imagine the Undertaker setting up for the Tombstone Piledriver, and instead of kneeling down, he falls forward and slams his opponent down to the mat. While it might look interesting, it would also be potentially dangerous; the reward wouldn€™t necessarily be worth the risk. It is very likely that he created the move as a tribute to Mitsuharu Misawa, the legendary Japanese wrestler, who passed away in 2009, allegedly from wrestling-related injuries. While it is a fitting tribute, it would€™ve been best to use either the Emerald Fusion or the Tigerbomb separately and not combine them; the Tiger Flowsion is just a bit awkward and impractical of a move.
