WWE: Ranking The Top 10 Moments In Batista’s Career
5. The “Spearbuster”
It’s not fair, man. On top of having one of the best spears in the game and one of the best spinebusters in the game, Batista innovated a combination of both moves: the spearbuster. A move that was never seen beforehand and never seen since. No one man should have all that power. Yes, that was a Kanye West reference. It’s a call back to the earlier Kanye/Batista comparison. Just roll with me.
Batista only did the Spearbuster twice. The first – and most memorable – time was in a match against Elijah Burke, then again in a match against Cody Rhodes shortly afterwards. It is not only amazing to think that Batista did such an eye popping, crowd popping move a small handful of times, it is just as shocking to think nobody ever tried to duplicate it.
In a business where just about every single move in existence gets recycled by every competitor in the world, no one ever attempted a Spearbuster, which Batista seems to have innovated, just for the record. Maybe Batista is just so damn good that everybody knows for a fact that executing such a move would be impossible unless your name is Batista. That’s sound logic, quite frankly.
