I posted this on another thread but have a dumb question: What is the description of he Titan Drop and moves like the Power Drop (Greek Goods, Bundy).
Unsure if these are elbow drops, Samoan Drops, Dino Bravo side slams, or something else.

Lord Nexus's TITAN DROP was defined in 2087 as a falling reverse power slam.

I used to see the TITAN DROP as a twisting power slam a la Dustin Rhodes/Ted DiBiase but it seems like consensus now points it more towards being a Samoan Drop.
"Power Drop" is pretty much up-to-you-promoter. For Proteus I would say maybe a more primitive, lower-impact version of a power bomb--normally I'd say it was an Ultimate Warrior-style facefirst press slam but that's a little too similar to the OVERHEAD TOSS to work for me.

Still may use Power Drop as an running elbow drop or one off the ropes. Though I like this explanation. |

It is also possible that a Power Drop is a crazy new citrus candy that all the kids are craving these days. Then again, I do not see how you could win a match with a tiny candy drop.  |

I always thought the Titan Drop was a big lift back body drop to the opponent coming off the ropes. Something not power based that way all agile Titans, and those they train, can perform the move.

jobbing to a back drop..almost as bad as jobbing to the Thumb Screw.

Yeah, even in 1986 a backdrop was not a viable finisher.

It could be if Andre is the one doing it. |
