My son, not yet two years old, is a fairly simple being. His interests include Mommy, soft things, and garbage trucks. But what this man also loves is action. We have epic battles on the mattress, each of us doing our top moves to each other. I have already gone over my favorite moves to do to him, so today, I would like to reveal his favorite moves to perform on his poor old pop. He has less variety in his moveset, but he has mastered his moves, and has become (kayfabe) deadly with these four techniques.
4. Hurricanrana
To do a great hurricanrana, you really need a great opponent. I would say that I'm a good opponent, but not quite on the level of Cedric Alexander here. I do my best to sell the maneuver, but I will admit that my number one concern is protecting my opponent to make sure he doesn't throw himself on his head. This move is a work in progress, but once we get it down, we will really impress his Mommy. I will say his taunting is at least as good as Lio Rush's here.
3. Armbar
It's a classic move, but it's also incredibly effective. I'll be on top of him, pounding away and think I have a match well in hand when all of a sudden he catches my arm, holds on tight and starts stretching those ligaments. At that point, I've got two options: Tap or Snap. I choose tap and live to fight another day.
2. Bulldog
Confession: I've never been able to get my wife to hoist me up on her shoulders to do a doomsday bulldog with Spencer jumping off the top of the couch, but one day, I hope that we can make that happen. But the bulldog is a classic, and we've come up with a few setups to really add suspense and entertainment for our crowd (dog and wife, neither really paying attention). A favorite is to set him up for a brutal atomic drop, only for him to throw his legs out and use that momentum and reverse it into a bulldog. He's really smashed my face into that mattress a few times.
1. DDT
There is no better move for a child to perform on his father. It's simple but effective, and can be done from a variety of setups. He could leap towards me like above, but he can also just wait for me to let my guard down for a second and grab onto my neck and drop me on my head. Our most common setup is still the torture rack into the Tornado DDT. I take this move like a champ, to the point that I have definitely felt neck stiffness from taking too many in a day. But to see the joy on his face, and hear him excitedly yell, "DDT! DDT! DDT!" Well, that makes it all worth it.
