10 OMG Moments From NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10

7. Elgin's Deadlift Super Falcon Arrow

https://twitter.com/SenorLARIATO/status/683938864503873536 Jay Lethal may have given himself a broken rib for your viewing pleasure, but Elgin was no slouch either. The stocky man-mountain put on an absolute clinic in brute strength, on many occasions out-Cesaroing Cesaro. Mere minutes into the match, he pulled off an astonishing feat of power, holding up Lethal (who weighs 215 pounds, let's not forget) in a delayed suplex for ages. Not only that, but Lethal attempted to fight out of it twice, both times resulting in his feet nearly touching the ground, forcing Elgin to deadlift him back to a vertical position. TWICE. Unreal. But that was at the begin of the match, when Elgin wasn't even tired, right? That just makes his deadlift Falcon Arrow even more impressive. Toward the end of the 12 minute match, Elgin resolutely beat the Swiss Superman at his own game by not just standing on the second rope and deadlifting Lethal from the ring-apron, but also managing to convert it into a Super Falcon Arrow in the process.
