How Zack Sabre Jr. Defended Orange Cassidy's Orange Punch | The Signature Move with AO Baker #16
The Signature Move Show with AO Baker
07/05/24 • 3 min
Met Sabre Jr. on a Saturday Sunday he had a match vs Orange Cassidy Probably would've tapped Pockets out But he pulled one arm this way & the other arm thataway Pocket watching was the strategy Seen him throw the Orange Punch - Zack took that away Arm strength was done Forbidden Door match won - on to the G1 Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamaobaker IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamaobaker/ X: https://x.com/iamaobaker Listen to the song Signature Move by AO Baker:https://madebyaobaker.com/no-flows-barred My name is AO Baker & this episode’s Signature Move: The Orange Punch. Orange Cassidy's version of a Superman Punch. The move that led to a majority of his 157 wins and 2 International Championship reigns in AEW. That’s also the move that gave Zack Sabre Jr. the blueprint on how to defeat Orange Cassidy at this year’s Forbidden Door. The idea is simple, we’ve seen this before. Pick a part of the body, wear it down during the match and when the time is right, go in for the kill AKA, “hit your finisher, brother.” Bret Hart had the Sharpshooter so he worked the leg. So did Ric Flair to set the Figure Four up. Sabre Jr. is even more dangerous because he doesn't really have a “finisher.” Yes, there are moves that he uses often like the Zack Driver, the European Clutch, the Octopus Hold. But more often than not, he just makes some shit up on the fly. Pure improv. So you never really see what’s coming until it’s too late. So, the Forbidden Door match. Zack takes Cassidy’s right arm. Palm down, elbow up and stomps on it. He went after the fingers, the wrist, the forearm, the shoulder. The perfect defense to neutralize the best offensive weapon in Orange Cassidy’s arsenal. Yeah he hit the Orange Punch but that didn’t even knock Zack off his feet. They went back & forth. The crowd chanted “this is wrestling,” you know, because they were into the match. In the end, ZSJ picked up the W by way of verbal submission because Orange didn’t have a free hand, or foot, to tap out to this move that has no name. And while it might not be a signature move for Sabre Jr., it was a signature win for the man from The Isle of Sheppey.

The Busaiku Knee by Bryan Danielson (feat. Scotland of Black Guy Wrestling Podcast) | TSMS #20
The Signature Move Show with AO Baker
08/21/24 • 6 min
Swerve’s holding the title If Bryan’s gonna take it he’s gotta hit the Busaiku Might take 4 like swinging for the cycle If he does, crowd volume is high as my FICO If not, heartbreak like 808s & taikos Lights out like a Tyco hit a light pole House Call from a psycho And just like that, say goodbye to my GOAT 1. What move did Bryan Danielson, then known as Daniel Bryan, use to beat HHH at WrestleMania 30? 2. What move did Bryan use to beat Batista and Randy Orton to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? 3. Who is the LeBell Lock named after? 4. What does Busaiku mean? 5. Who did Bryan get the Busaiku Knee from? This episode’s signature move: The Busaiku Knee. At All Out, Bryan Danielson challenges Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship. Only the second time they’ve faced each other in a match. The 1st? Dynamite. October, 2023. Title Tuesday. Opening match. Winner earns a shot at then TNT Champion, Christian Cage. Hell of a match, too. Back & forth until Prince Nana threw his crown off and hopped on the ring apron to distract referee Aubrey Edwards. Swerve grabbed the crown off the apron. Hangman Page, out of nowhere, grabbed the crown from Swerve. Yada, yada, yada - and BOOM - Busaiku Knee off the skull of Swerve for the 1-2-3. At WrestleMania 30, Bryan used another move, The LeBell Lock, to win the WWE World Heavyweight title. A move lethal enough to tap Batista out 10 years ago but not strong enough to beat Swerve last year, when he reached the bottom rope and managed to compete for another 2 mins before taking the killshot, no pun intended. When Bryan goes for The LeBell Lock at All Out, I think the same thing happens. Not only because Swerve survived it once but because he’s only gotten stronger since then. On the other hand, in that first match, Bryan was strong enough to survive a House Call. And make no mistake about it, there will be a House Call attempt at All Out. But this Bryan is not that Bryan. This Bryan’s body is worn down. This Bryan has more concussions in the bank. And this Bryan is approaching the end of a full time wrestling career, if not the end of the road altogether. So, this Bryan’s formula is simple: avoid the House Call at all costs. Don’t be surprised when Swerve survives The LeBell Lock again, only this time with a smile on his face. Put the last ounce of power left into one last Busaiku Knee. And pray that it’s enough to keep Swerve down this time because if it isn’t, that will be the last Busaiku Knee that Bryan will ever attempt. + Connect with me: https://madebyaobaker.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamaobaker IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamaobaker/ X: https://x.com/iamaobaker

Signature Move of the Week: The People’s Elbow
The People’s Elbow. The most electrifying move in pro wrestling, sports and entertainment. Is that the move that makes The Rock the next Undisputed WWE Universal Champion? It’s at least possible.
It was enough to beat Cody Rhodes on WrestleMania Saturday, which is more than Roman Reigns can say about The Spear.
With the champagne barely dry on Cody’s championship celebration, The Rock made sure to remind Cody of that very fact at the top of the Raw After Mania.
Back in 1998, LL Cool J was insulted when Canibus asked to borrow the microphone that was tattooed on his arm. Legacy and positioning aside, The Rock asking to borrow Cody’s newly won title, for just a moment, and then proclaiming that holding it “just feels right” probably made Cody feel just as insulted as James Todd Smith.
We know The Rock is off to film a new project called The Smashing Machine but that insult is going to find a home in the back of Cody’s mind for however long the real head of the table, the final boss, is away from The E.
We also know that whenever he comes back, Cody is The Rock’s target. “Your story with Roman Reigns is over and you did it but our story has just begun.”
The next chapter of that story might be titled And New and the last sentence might be punctuated with a People’s Elbow, courtesy of The Great One.

Wrestling & Politics feat. Lo from The Lead | TSMS #24
The Signature Move Show with AO Baker
10/30/24 • 26 min
This special election season episode of The Signature Move Show is all about some of the biggest politicians in the world: professional wrestlers. My guest: Lo from The Locker Room Lead (https://x.com/LOfrmTHELEAD ) .
00:00 Rap intro.
00:26 Welcome Lo to The Signature Move Show.
01:58 Gametime
22:37 Outro.
I sit ringside, not the Gorilla Position. But always heard wrestlers are really politicians. Like Bollea, controlling the creative. Going over - contractually obligated. Ask Eric who had the leverage. “That doesn’t work for me brother, run me my percentage” Too much trust in that Fu Manchu is a death wish. My name is AO and I approve this message. + Connect with me: https://madebyaobaker.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamaobaker IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamaobaker/ X: https://x.com/iamaobaker
CM Punk interference is Damian Priest's best maneuver | The Signature Move Podcast with AO Baker #17
The Signature Move Show with AO Baker
07/15/24 • 3 min
And still: Damian Priest Transitional title like a car with a lease? So say some. Punishment Mar disagrees. Comes to the ring, got the belt when he leaves. Keeps, by any means. Ask Drew Mac, But the South of Heaven ain’t the best move in his tool bag. ‘Cause when the ref stops watching, CM Punk’s his top option. Let’s get it poppin’ My name is AO Baker and this episode’s signature move: CM Punk. Yes, you heard that correctly: the man Phil Brooks is a maneuver. Doesn’t seem like Damian Priest has anything else that can beat Drew McIntyre. WrestleMania 40. Money in the Bank briefcase cashed in...AND NEW world heavyweight champ. But it wasn’t the South of Heaven that did the damage. It was CM Punk. Fast forward. Clash at the Castle. Drew hits the Claymore Kick but there’s no ref. Punk runs down in a ref shirt. Hits the Shane McMahon Special two-count-double-bird. Then a low blow. AND STILL world heavyweight champ....Damian Priest. Thanks to CM Punk Fast forward again. Money in the Bank. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Priest defending against Seth Rollins. Drew cashes in his newly won briefcase and now we have a no-disqualification triple threat match. With Seth Rollins watching from outside the ring, Damian defeated Drew...after Phil Brooks, a steel chair and 15 pounds of gold put Drew down. AND STILL world heavyweight champ...Damian Priest. Thanks to CM Punk. On August 3rd, Damian Priest defends his title against Gunther. The longest reigning Intercontinental Champion ever. But more importantly, at least in this case, a man that CM Punk doesn’t have a problem with so there won’t be any CM Punk interference for Damian Priest to rely on. A lot of people have been calling Damian Priest a transitional champion. If he cares to silence those critics, he’ll have to beat Gunther on his own. No Judgement Day. No ref bumps. And no CM Punk. If he fails, his reign will soon be forgotten and the only person going “south of heaven” will be Damian Priest, himself. + Connect with me: https://madebyaobaker.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamaobaker IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamaobaker/ X: https://x.com/iamaobaker
The Powerbomb by Sid Vicious | Long Live Sycho Sid | TSMS #21
The Signature Move Show with AO Baker
08/28/24 • 3 min
RIP SID “Vicious” to “Sycho”, “Justice” to rivals Ruler of the world, master of the powerbomb 6’9” - skyscraper in 8-9, fly Gave Hogan hell from the start Beat the Heartbreak Kid and the Hitman Hart 2-time Federation Champ Plus he stamped Attitude on the Era before the marketing plan 1-time for the big man Wrestling fans, my name is AO Baker. Welcome to The Signature Move. Unfortunately, this week’s episode finds us mourning the loss of the man known as Sid Vicious and Sid Justice. Perhaps best known as Sycho Sid. 2-time WWF Champion. 2-time WCW Champion. Member of the 4 Horsemen. Speaking of the Horsemen, quite possibly the reason that Arn Anderson carries that dot dot dot Kayfabe, brother. I was introduced to Sid back in 1992. Probably at a Blockbuster Video. WrestleMania 8 VHS on the shelf. One-half of a double main event saw the Macho Man Randy Savage challenge the Nature Boy Ric Flair for the world title. The other half saw a 6 foot 9, 300+ pound menace present a very serious threat to Hulkamania. Kicked out of the leg drop and only lost by DQ because of Harvey Whippleman’s interference. The next time I saw Sid was 3 years later. 1995. The bodyguard of Shawn Michaels. Sid’s unsuccessful interference cost Shawn his WrestleMania 11 world title match against Diesel. Obviously Sid’s a much better wrestler than bodyguard but nonetheless, on Raw the next night, Sid reacted to Shawn’s “orders” by lifting HBK over his head and driving him to the mat on 3 separate occasions. Took him out. And that’s why this episode’s signature move is the powerbomb. Quick fact: that move was invented by Lou Thesz in a match against Antonio Rocca. Thesz attempted a piledriver. Rocca fought it. So Thesz lifted him above his head and then, back-first to the mat. As for Sid’s powerbomb. There’s the World Championship Wrestling version where he would drop to both knees at the same time he’d drop his opponent. And of course, The Federation version. 3 of those powerbombs to HBK caused Diesel to make the save, reuniting 2 former friends turned bitter enemies. 1 powerbomb to HBK earned Sid his 1st world title and a powerbomb to Bret earned him his 2nd. Of course Sid had other moves in his arsenal like the chokeslam and the big boot. And that weird angle semi-roundhouse right punch. But the powerbomb put fear in the hearts of many in the World Wrestling Federation. That move, along with the maniacal laugh, wide and wild eyes and a voice that could go from a whisper to a roar several times within the same sentence made Sid one of the most memorable big men ever. So here’s to Sid. Master of the powerbomb. Ruler of the world. Heavyweight champion. Legend. And Signature Mover. + Connect with me: https://madebyaobaker.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamaobaker IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamaobaker/ X: https://x.com/iamaobaker
