Did You Know... The F5

Post by kiel297 » May 11th, '12, 13:07

Did you know that Brock Lesnar's F5 was created by John Laurinaitis? According to Brock, Laurinaitis saw Lesnar practising two different moves, and gave him the idea to combine them. The result was the F5. Big Johnny is also the man behind the idea of Stone Cold Steve Austin using the Stunner as a finishing move. Nope. he wasn't.

Didn't know about the F-5; I wonder what two moves he combined :-?

When did Laurenitis give Austin the idea for the Stunner? Wasn't he wrestling in Japan for like the ENTIRE 90's? When would he have had the opportunity to give this suggestion? Are they pals or something? Plus, Mikey Whipwreck was doing the Whippersnapper when he faced Austin in ECW; I always thought THAT'S where he got it from....

Just looked it up here: http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/2012/0 ... rsonality/

It wasn't Laurenitis who told Austin to use it; it was Michael Hayes. Hayes got the IDEA of Austin using it from Ace using the Ace Crusher in Japan....
