10 Wrestling Moves So Awesome They're Actually Unbelievable

6. Kitaro Crusher Counter

Kenny Omega PAC

PAC and Kenny Omega's chemistry was rooted in the fact that both men believed they were the best wrestlers - and best counter-wrestlers - in the world.

Anything one could do, the other could dodge better. It informed their attritional wars, ensuring that they needed to land a lot just to get to the stage where they could unleash their best attacks.

Never was this illustrated as beautifully than during their intentionally lowkey banger at All Out 2020. Still jockeying for position, Omega attempted his Kitaro Crusher elevated rocker dropper.

Anticipating it and shape shifting accordingly, PAC leaned forward and used a handspring to return to a vertical base. In mimicking getting hit, he’d temporarily fooled Omega and the watching world into believing he’d been hit.

The only person not completely dumbstruck was the ‘Man That Gravity Forgot’ himself.
