The New Day retained their tag team titles at Extreme Rules with a win over The Vaudevillains, and Xavier Woods pulled off a tribute to one of his favorite video games during the match.

 

[𝐃esperado]

I want to see him and Kenny Omega go at it

 

[Levito]

Bullshit, given the charge up time, that's clearly a kamehameha

 

[rtcn63]

Could also be

I want to see him and Kenny Omega go at it

This would be epic

 

[vulva]

It's been done

I've been watching this for a bit, didn't see the hadouken?

 

[Teknopathetic]

"I've been watching this for a bit, didn't see the hadouken?"

It's Kitana's Fan lift.

 

[gunstarhero]

It's true. All of it.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

I really need to dig out that old podcast of with Becky Lynch from her indie days yelling hadouken multiple times

 

[rtcn63]

Was she waiting for her to jump kick into it?

 

[BLOODED_hands]

This thread and the Indenpendendneys thread. It's a good day today.

 

[vulva]

"I've been watching this for a bit, didn't see the hadouken?"

It's Kitana's Fan lift.

Just being facetious about him saying it's been done before re: hadouken.

 

[krae_man]

It's not even the first Street Fighter move.

Cesaro has a Psycho Crusher in his moveset:

 

[Hycran]

Byron Saxton also said "thats down right fierce!"

I swear to god he said that, I heard it.

Uriah Hall did it in the UFC as well.

That actually looks like a hadouken. What's in the OP does not.

 

[jbug617]

Kenny Omega did it also.

What Xavier Woods does looks more like a fake hadouken.

[Starfish Hero]

Spoiler

It's really kamehameha

 

[qcf x2]

What Xavier Woods does looks more like a fake hadouken.

It looks like he was an old lady hitting somebody with a grocery bag. Some weird side swipe going on there.

Look man, we gotta do what we gotta do.

Xavier was actually channeling DOA

[tilomite!]

I like it. Still wanna see a 360 pile driver.

 

[Vex_]

YOOO they even have the super flash! YOOOOO

It's Kitana's Fan lift.

I thought it was Mario smacking somebodies arse.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Isn't it actually a kamehameha? I know he is a DBZ fan.

 

[Mechanized]

Bullshit, given the charge up time, that's clearly a kamehameha

Denjin Hadouken.

 

[Heroman]

Kenny omega does it better

 

[Fitts]

Dat was so cool he did da power ball!

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

For Mother Russia!

 

[RiderKairuu]

Let's just post all the video game references he makes on camera for WWE https://youtu.be/bGrxMpJSKtY

 

[Gren]

Just like in the movie!

I dunno what I was expecting.

Spoiler

Actually, I do. Always thought Nina/Anna Williams' Blonde Bomb would be the "realistic" application of that move

 

[Rudiano]

Such a shame The New Day are so cringe worthy and an embarrassment to tag team wrestling, Xavier Woods Youtube channel is cool though...mainly due to the Sasha Banks videos

 

[RedAssedApe]

needs to be a dbz beam clash

 

[KevinCow]

[The Albatross]

Hate the modern camera work in wrestling that tries to make impacts seem bigger by obscuring everything with annoying cuts. It's like the whole business ignores kayfabe but the camera man still pretends that there are earth shattering maneuvers.

 

[Mentok]

Been done before in the indies, plus I think he went for a kamehameha considering he loves DBZ.

Not to mention the shaking on hits.

 

[Dark Ninja]

[Based Calla]

If you're looking for geeky wrestling, look into Marcellus Black. A lot of anime and video game references in his wrestling and promos.

 

[Lulubop]

I love the wrestling super flash gifs

If I needed anymore proof that the internet is fucking awful. >_<

And yeah, Xavier Woods doing the Hadouken is awesome, but it's got nothing on Cesaro's Psycho Crusher.
