*wipes the vomit off face* Its ok KGB, just based high flyer moves I've saw, he is the best. If you care to show me videos of Mysterio matching him, I'll change my opinion. But I agree with all the flips do take away from realness, and I don't watch a lot of flippy guys so there might be lots better guys.

If you ever find a video of that moment, feel free to post it, because it sounds awesome. Also, the Spiral Tap is a great move.

Mysterio's more creative, actually implements psychology into his matches, tells a story in the ring, and is the epitome of what a true "high flier" should be. Only person who can honestly match him IMO is Shawn Michaels. Being a great High Flier has little to do with how many flips you can do. That's only a small, small part.

To Purity, Paul London is a great highflyer, but I think that he would be better in TNA, with the X Division. Weren't the please don't die chants for Teddy Hart, when he did that 30 foot moonsault?

I think that there are more guys than HBK who can match Mysterio in ring psychology, though.

Oh, it seems to make much more sense now, lol. I wonder how it feels having that chanted at you though.

Off topic: I just finished watching the Blanchard/Magnum TA I Quit Cage match, and what a damn beautiful match that was. Only exception being the two obvious blade spots.

It wasn't his one but close to the same height, the one I'm talking about there is only the guy in the center of the ring.

You could be right about the highflyer part. It is hard to hide a blading spot too.

WOW, that was insane! I can't imagine how you could even consider attempting smoething like that!

seems like he ended up hurting himself doing it as well...
if you're gonna do a risky move make sure you're not gonna get seriously hurt doing it otherwise you have no business doing the move IMO.

Wrestlers have been injured more frequently on less dangerous moves. Look at Cena's most recent injury, IIRC he was injured in a hip-toss, not what Orton did to him.

I realize that but that wasn't my point...My point was that if you're going to do a risky move(which they are...moves like a 630 splash or a running ssp to the mats) that if you plan on doing that move and haven't practiced it or just decided to do it on a whim that you are not really sure you can perform the move properly without being injured then you have no business doing the move...

London or Kendrick. Unfortunatly i can never see TNA (cant be assed watching youtube )so i dont know shit about anyone there.
In the past (iirc) was Zach Gowen a good lil highflyer?
You know, the guy with one leg, got destroyed by Lesnar and was fired caus eof attitude problems?

To Tasha KO, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, is by far, one of the best in Japan, and Sasuke is a Legend.
To Tornado, London and Kendrick are pretty good, but you should really check out Japan, Mexico, the Indies, or TNA, if you can. And, Zach Gowen's moonsault, was pretty cool.

It may be the last couple of years, because the highflying ability has increased, from the days of Snuka, to now.
First mention of Brian Pillman here, and I do agree, that he was great what what he did. Dynamite, was amazing as well.
Also, would you like to share your favorite highflying move or moment.
