AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs detailed how his signature spinebuster has been highly praised by fellow wrestlers and famed spinebuster extraordinaire, WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson.
The former member of The Four Horsemen is known for his Double-A Spinebuster that has been imitated but never duplicated. Top stars like Triple H and Batista utilized the move to great success, with Triple H even naming it the Double-H Spinebuster as a tribute.
Team Taz's Powerhouse Hobbs is the latest star to put the move to use and has garnered fanfare for how much velocity and power he generates on the move.
Speaking on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, Hobbs looked back on when he joined AEW and how Cody and Dustin Rhodes praised his execution of the move:
"It's because you grab a guy, you pivot and turn into impact. Like, I got to the back and Cody and Dustin were like, 'That Spinebuster was good.'" (H/T Fightful)
Once he figured out how to get the approval of people close to the WWE Hall of Famer, Hobbs went after Double-A.
"I found out how to get Arn’s approval, and I got it. Look at the Spinebuster I did to Keith Lee. There hasn't been a Spinebuster like that since Arn [Anderson] did it to Vader.” (H/T: Fightful)
