    That's a big part of character development we don't have much of anymore. You're not just changing from heel to face, having diff gear, theme, even overall attitude goes a long way to showing how different you are from past, and how much you've evolved.

        It’s hard to imagine that there was a time when sweet chin music wasn’t his finisher

          And it was so bad that they couldn't even make it look cool in a video game.

              Watching him beat jobbers with the suplex was just hilarious.

                I think I remember him using the piledriver as a finish briefly too between the teardrop suplex and when he went with sweet chin music. When did he finally switch to the superkick?

                  Well technically he used it with The Rockers. I really think he stopped using it afterwards so as not to associate the new heel single version of himself with the baby face moves of The Rockers.

                  I think he switched back sometime in early 93 though. Maybe during that Jannetty feud?

                    That's a good trivia question. I actually feel like he didn't start using the kick as a his regular finisher until like 1995.

                      I’m pretty positive it was no later than 94.

                        My best guess is sometime post Survivor Series 94 when him and Diesel split as a tag team. I found a few squash matches on Raw from late 93 and early 94 and he was still using the piledriver

                          The split between him and Diesel came off the foot of a sweet chin music in fact.

                            That’s what makes me think that is the time frame he changed it. He had a weird 94, after the ladder match he was just hosting Heartbreak Hotel and managing Diesel then they started tagging together. There aren’t a whole lot of his singles matches to go back and look at from that time period.

                              So he went from the Teardrop Suplex to the piledriver?
                              If you ever attended a WWE live event (house shows and PPVs) which wrestler(s) did you buy a ticket to see? https://forms.gle/d5uh8iifDbfDBdDd8

                                Yeah, and he was using the superkick as just a regular move in his move set
