The Power Move Wrestler Playbook
Punches
uppercuts
Kicks
Elbows
Knees

• Knee lift
• Kitchen sink

Hip toss
Face buster

• Basically if he can drop them face first in some way, he will.

Body slams

• Regular
• Powerslam
• Running powerslam

Spinebuster

• Spinning spinebuster
• high lifting (almost a chokeslam) spinebuster

Power bombs

• He’s usually not fancy with them. Pick them up and drop them down.
• He doesn’t bother with sit outs or the like usually, he’d feel it just as much in his hips and spine after a while.

DDTs

• Also not fancy except for one variant which is a signature move.

Suplexes

• Belly to belly
• Belly to back
• Saito or side suplex
• Butterfly suplex
• He actually doesn’t go for German or Dragon suplexes too much, as he has to bend down for most opponents to lift them up into it. 
• No rolling Germans for him. 
• Usually something that is release, so that he can toss them as far away as possible and get back up to keep doing it before they can.
• Vertical Suplex - yeah, he’s big and strong, so he’ll hold it if he can.

Brain Buster!

• If the match demands it happen, instead of putting them on their back, he’ll put them on top of their head.

Signature Moves:

Torpedoes Away - the classic running spear/shoulder tackle.

Broadsides - Phoenix-plex. Powerbomb setup, hook their head and take them back and over, try for a bridge pin. This isn’t a finisher because… the pin usually doesn’t happen, but he gets close! (he could actually get the pin off this one day)

Broadsides - double underhook/butterfly brainbuster/ddt. How it lands is dependent on how big they are. bigger guys are getting face planted, smaller ones are doing down vertical.

USO - Cesaro’s UFO. start with an Argentina backbreaker airplane spin, but keep spinning until you can let go, and they stay there… until you stop and they spin off the shoulders to land hard onto the mat. 

Roundabout - giant swing

Seismic Event - Argentine backbreaker pickup and start. End with dropping down hard to his knees, bouncing them hard off his shoulders. 

Finishing Moves: 

Depth Charge - Wind- Up Slam (Baron Corbin’s deep six version of the boss man slam or black hole slam). Grab them as they come in and spin around to drop them down into a side slam. This one can come out of anywhere.

Missile Launcher - The old "Steenalizer". Powerbomb pickup, hook their head like you were going for a phoenix-plex, but then throw them over your head to the mat or better yet, the turnbuckle. 

The Lanza Legacy - his father's old finisher, a high lifting crucifix powerbomb.

Brief Biography: 

A recent graduate of the 4 Winds Wrestling Academy located in Dallas, Texas. He’s been trained by his father and his father’s tag team partner for his training time. Otherwise, he’s new to the business.

He grew up in Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico near the Naval Base there, and its thought that his mother was attached to it in some way. He's young enough that he could have gone into the military, but his massive size might have got in the way of that as well.

Miguel’s father, Miguel Lanza, Sr is a former 30 time tag team champion with his partner Jamie "Bad-Ju-Ju" Dermont. Together they wrestled under the name Tropical Storm.
