Who was his partner in power and glory ? www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/legendarystars/paulromaglory.pdfGoes with www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/legendarystars/hercules.pdfThe team finishing move is a superplex by Hercules followed up by a precisely times top rope splash by Roma. They had it down to where most times Roma would hit right as Herc dropped the guy with the superplex. It was honestly one of the best tag team finishers of all time. SPEAKING OF WHICH, as I recall the move was never given an official name in the WWF. I don't recall one at the time, and on all of the matches I went back and watched (and I watched every one of them I could find) it's never called by any specific name. NOW, it seems to have been retroactively dubbed the "Power Plex" by people on the internet, but I do not believe that is an official name. If any can point to a place where it was printed in a WWF publication or trading card from 1991 I would change it, but I do not believe this is the case.

Believe it or not, when I created my bootleg COTG tag team of Willy and Orca, the Killer Whales, their BEACHED WHALES double team finisher (where they leap off of opposite turnbuckles and peform a double splash on their opponent with such precision that by the time one Killer Whale has hit his splash and rolled off the other Killer Whale was already hitting the opponent with his splash) was directly influenced by Power and Glory's superplex/splash combo finisher. Just wanted to point that out.

Ok the Pretty Wonderful era Orndorff will make me so happy!!!!!
On Norton. Oh well. At least he got represented. I will always hope one day Fire and Ice will be available. I just remember a match were they both power bombed some poor jobber and I was thinking Damn!! that got to hurt! I was hoping they would go on to become like the Natural Disasters. But alas, they never amounted to much. In my fed they would be heavily pushed.
Anyway, man thanks for the most excellent cards. Well done!

I remember the Power Plex name, Mark, but I have no idea where I heard it. I put together a double team chart for COTG in the early 90s. I could check to see if I had that name on the chart. Regardless of the name, it was a sweet move!

It was never called by name on TV, but it may have been called that in print somewhere. They used to do those WWF Superstars yearbooks with bios and full color photos of the roster and maybe some writer needed a name for the move. That, or it was written up that way on the back of one of the trading cards they were featured on in the '91 WWF trading card sets (as memory serves, they had about five cards total that year in that blue bordered set). Could have been a kayfabe mag invention, too. If you could look it up and let me know, that would be great.
