Speaking through his official Twitter account over the weekend, WWE NXT superstar Kassius Ohno commented on how he wants to continue the legacy left by Mitsuharu Misawa in using the discus elbow smash/rolling elbow as his finisher.
“A Rolling Elbow minus the ‘roll’ is simply an elbow. Discus throwers spin in a circle to build momentum & increase power. The trick is maintaining accuracy as the elbow connects. If done right, the move is incredibly effective. Can’t fault someone for utilizing such a devastating maneuver. Besides, you never know where that certain someone may have picked up the technique. Tanaka? Misawa? Or… My dream is to carry on the legacy of the Elbow from Mitsuharu Misawa just as he carried it from Jumbo Tsuruta and brought it to new heights”
