Why do you guys keep saying Hogan's legdrop is overrated?

For the record, Flair's chops WOULD hurt...to the 1 who said they wouldn't. As for Hogan's Legdrop, it WAS overrated becuae it would have no real effect on the recipent. It was overrated as a finishing maneuver that supposedly inflicted pain. It was NOT overrated as a crowd pleaser. Theatrics? That's not just now. It was just as prevalent then and all through wrestling history. How did Hogan get the fans so excited about such a uselss move? Theatrics. The Legdrop, The People's Elbow, 5 Knuckle Shuffle, The Worm, and so on are all the same...Theatrically performed normally useless moves. A flying elbow I think would cause a little more pain, but it's also not a great finisher. The DDT, Pedigree, and Tombstone are all moves that WOULD inflict damage. The Fisherman's Suplex is a move that is in between, but more effective than the Legdrop. Honestly I love Rey Mysterio and his 619, but it's along the lines of the legdrop. ok. I'm done now. : 0 )
