YOU WANT MOAR PURO? I'll start you off with this dude. Shocked everyone by winning the IWGP Heavyweight Title last year. Arguably the best guy going in the business today. Fantastic wrestler, great gimmick, awesome finisher.
Named Moves:
Deep in Debt - Arm trap inverted three-quarter facelock (think reverse Crippler Crossface)
Red Ink - A figure four variation of the STF (video below)
Heavy Rain - Standing fireman's carry takeover transitioned into a vertical suplex
RAINMAKER - Wrist-lock transitioned into either a short-arm lariat or a lariat takedown
And here's the match that was my MOTY for most of the year. Still in my top 3.
