WWE: 5 Ideas for Braun Strowman’s New Finishing Move

4. Back Suplex Chokeslam

There’s a reason so many big men in wrestling use a Chokeslam variation. Grabbing someone by the throat is a demonstration of power, as the neck is a very vulnerable part of the body. If you can grab someone’s neck, and then slam them as hard as possible to the mat, you look dangerous and intimidating.

But many wrestlers have used the Chokeslam, so a point where it has lost some of its luster. So what better way to re-invent the move in a WWE ring than by doing it from a different position.

Akira Taue, the Japanese wrestler who used countless different Chokeslam variations, came up with one that could be done from a Back Suplex. All you do is lift someone up as if to execute a Belly-to-back Suplex, and then, you grab their neck and Chokeslam them. It looks both different and devastating at the same time, and you get more height out of it as well.

If Strowman started using this move, he’d definitely be turning more heads than he does now.
