Austin Aries, the self-appointed Greatest Man Who Ever Lived is unquestionably one of the absolute finest professional wrestlers working today. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has an arsenal of great moves at his command, including an incredible Brainbuster Suplex and (a personal favourite), The Last Chancery finishing hold. However, he also has The Discus Forearm this move basically involves spinning around on the spot in order to give your punch a little more, um, punch. Remember that bit in the original Star Wars movie where Obi Wans fighting Darth Vader and he stops and does that weird little pirouette? Well, this is the wrestling equivalent of that. The thing is that spinning around a bit before you hit someone doesnt charge you up in any way, it just makes you a bit dizzy before your enemy beats seven shades of sh*t into you.
