Theme Music: "Save Me” by Killswitch Engage

Finishing Move: Omega 13

Derek Frazier's Impact Driver/Hiromu Takahashi's Time Bomb 2 (video clip) (This is the same as King Blueberry's "Jack LaLanne Driver", only the name changes when he's not in costume.)

General Moveset:

Common Moves:
Arm-trap saito suplex (sometimes chained into a second or third)
Neckbreakers of all shapes and sizes (straight-jacket neckbreaker, neckbreaker across the knee, etc.)
Snap suplex rolled through and followed by a sliding elbow strike
Step-up frankensteiner
Poison rana
Regal cutter
Short-arm into backdrop driver

Trademark Moves:
Cutters of all shapes and sizes - He's used variations of these as finishers through the first half of his career. They'll be creative, and snappy, and in the right case can end a match outright.
Snapmare driver/facebuster
NTD - Snap version of Hirooki Goto's GTR
Sleeper suplex
Lightning spiral
Storm cradle driver
High angle Texas Cloverleaf with a knee on the neck - This is a VERY OLD finisher of his, used when he broke into the business around 2000. It is incredibly rare that this shows up.

The Big Guns:
"Angel Halo" - Master Wato's half-and-half suplex into a crucifix driver.

"Lightning Helix" - Anaconda cross. Has ended matches and won titles over his career.

"Domino Effect" - Springboard blockbuster. This was the finisher of Crash Domino (Charlie Beckett), one half of the vaunted NWC tag team 'Crash & Burn', and one his closest personal friends.

"Third Degree" - Flatliner. Sometimes chained one after the other (like what happened in the main event of Great American Nightmare 2022). This was the finisher of Cinder Burn (David McBride), the other half of 'Crash & Burn', also a close friend.

"Dead Aim" - Springboard 450. The old finisher of Aimz, an old ex and someone that he holds in high regard. IT IS RARE that he uses this, since he's not much of a flyer these days. We're talking big matches only.

"Rhine Rewind" - Seated 180 uranage. The former finisher of Jonathan Rhine. How I imagine it looks, only seated.

Special Circumstances:
He has to really want you dead to bust this stuff out. Did you end the career of one of his closest friends? Did you waterboard him in the ring? Did you trigger a memory of something particularly traumatic? If the answer to any of this is 'yes', then be prepared to deal with the stuff in this section. It's here because, while he knows how to execute these moves, they have a very high degree of going catastrophically wrong.

Dragon Screw Neck Whip

Neckbreaker driver

The MDK Finisher:
"Last Wish" - Electric chair driver (AKA: One-Winged Angel). There are three situations where this comes out: either it's a big match ender, he really goddamn hates his opponent, or his opponent is too big to be lifted up for the Jack LaLanne Driver/Omega-13.
