James Storm comments on using the Superkick as a finisher.
A move like the Superkick is synonymous with names like Shawn Michaels and the Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson). However, while it is one of the most well-known wrestling finishing maneuvers of all time, there are plenty of wrestlers who use the move as a smaller part of a sequence. Former TNA World Champion James Storm was one of the names who enjoyed using the move as a finish.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet for Insight, Storm was asked about using the Superkick. he told the story about Triple H saying that too many people used the move and explaining to the WWE Hall of Famer that what makes his different is that it puts people down for good.
"When I went to NXT the first time, they had me use a different finisher. Then my second match there, Hunter was like, 'Hey, what do you want to use?' I said, Well, my super kick. He goes, 'Well, everybody uses a Superkick.' I looked at him, and I said, 'Hey man, that's fine. They knock people down with their Superkick. I knock people out.' He goes, 'All right, you can use it.' I got to use it in my second match, and then I was going to use it there going forward and everything. It’s fine if people want to use it as a spot, but because that makes mine look all that more devastating, because I actually beat people with mine, especially if you do it right and make it look good."
Storm also shared his reasons for never officially joining WWE. Find out more here.
