Anderson Reflects on Memorable Moments and the Impact of Signature Moves in Wrestling
In a recent episode of “Out of Character” hosted by Ryan Satin, WWE superstar Karl Anderson opened up about his experiences in the wrestling ring. One of the standout moments from the interview was Anderson’s candid opinion on Jeff Hardy’s Swanton Bomb. He described it as “hands down” the worst finishing move to be on the receiving end of. While it might look simple to the audience, Anderson emphasized the impact it has on the one taking the move.
Anderson also took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about some of the most memorable times he executed his finishing move. He recalled a match in New Japan around 2012 when he hit a cutter on Tanahashi, leading to a pin in Rio Goku. The crowd’s reaction, which was overwhelmingly in his favor over Tanahashi, gave him chills. Another standout moment for Anderson was when he delivered a cutter to Shinsuke Nakamura in Corrigan Hall, surprising everyone and securing a win.
The interview touched upon Anderson’s journey in wrestling, his highs and lows, and his aspirations. When asked about potential single success in WWE, Anderson expressed his desire for more opportunities, questioning why he wasn’t in the Money in the Bank bash.
