10 Wrestlers Who Perfected A Non-Finishing Move

6. Brock Lesnar - Belly To Belly Suplex

Triple H Spinebuster
WWE.com

When you watch the average wrestler perform a belly to belly suplex, you're left with the feeling that the move was only possible due to cooperation on his opponents part. In Lesnar's case, it felt like could legitimately just launch a person like that whether they wanted him to or not. What is all the more impressive is that this is the case whether the opponent is Spike Dudley or Triple H.

As Lesnar aged into F-5 and German suplex spamming, we stopped seeing the variety of moves he once boasted as 'The Next Big Thing' during the Ruthless Aggression era. This is a shame, because Lesnar has always been - and still is, when he wants to be - a genuinely excellent worker, who can do much more the your standard German suplex. The belly to belly in particular always seemed particularly impressive, due to his Beast Incarnate's ability to launch an opponent feet into the air at a moments notice, and with no setup required whatsoever.

For an example of Brock at his best, his match with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania - another wrestler with an excellent belly to belly - is still an absolute classic.
