An ode to the greatest fighting move ever: the suplex.

[PhoncipleBone]

Sure, it is popular in wrestling...

...but also accessible to the common people.

It brings the pain in gaming:

It is also something used as a showstopper in film:

Blade doing the hold and flex just to show off:

Cap showing Winter Soldier how things are done in Brooklyn:

Hulk giving The Dark World Suplex to a giant fucking wolf is one of the most comic book things to ever comic book in the MCU:

And then you get ungodly humans like Donnie Yen busting them out with the smoothest fucking transition ever:

So Era, and especially WrestleEra, I NEED gifs or videos of the best suplexes in any medium. This is NOT about other moves like elbow drops, leg drops, body slams, lariats, etc. I want ONLY suplexes in here. Let us bring some painful joy to this bitter world. A unifying force for good. And pain.

The Donnie Yen one somehow looks faker than the Hulk one it's unreal.

The best for me will always be the Perfect Plex, hands down. And I don't mean the generic fisherman's suplex but the specific version performed by Curt Hennig, because why settle for less than Perfect?

German suplex for the win

I love this thread.

A good suplex is beautiful.

Taz is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.

One of the best ones he ever did.

It's Travis Touchdown's signature wrestling move in the No More Heroes series. It's oh-so satisfying to pull off with the game's simple motion controls, since the series eschews waggle in favor of swipes and spins that feel appropriate to the situation.

Indy monster Shane Mercer has a top rope backflip fall away suplex that he calls moonsault and battery.

 

[Gundam]

That's not a drop kick

edit: Just realized it was in the OP and it did not load for me at first.

I'm more of a fan of Powerbombs and Piledrivers, but I'm a sucker for a good German Suplex

I'm struggling to find footage but I've seen a delayed vertical suplex on someone passed between two people via a tag done a few times on the indies lately.

 

[Viol8tor]

I was never able to do a suplex without landing on my head first.

Bless this thread. I NON-IRONICALLY think that the suplex is the greatest human invention ever. Let us all celebrate.

Alas, despite my high adoration and enthusiasm of the suplex, I am not the type to have collected gifs and such and thus cannot visually contribute to this celebration, but godspeed all you wonderful fellow suplex-lovers.

We are all blessed in suplex city.
