No, it's not overused in Japan. It is over here, and by guys who shouldn't even be throwing the lariat.

That actually is relatively cool it's considered good enough to be one in the States. However I do agree that a guy like Homicide should never used the lariat on guys who legitly could shake it off and not sell it. |

I think so. Big guys like Morishima should be the ones doing lariats, not Homicide. Although McGuinness does a really nice lariat too.

Almost everybody in Japan uses the lariat for the win.

People like Homicide, and guys his size or smaller should NOT be throwing the lariat. It's stupid and an insult to the big guys who have used the move to finish people off in the past. |

Almost everybody in Japan uses the lariat for the win. You don't watch Puro at all. That statement proves it. |

I pretty much agree with everyone in saying that Homicide should stop doing the lariat. It just looks so weak when he does it.

Guys in Japan that have a lariat as their FINISHER:
Satoshi Kojima
Shuji Kondo
Um...
Kenta Kobashi
...that's really it for the Big 3 promotions. People use lariats all the time as transition moves, i.e. Marufuji. But that doesn't mean they're overused, as no one complains about snapmares or chops.

Nigel McGuinness is like 225. But, his lariats are right up there with those of a Stan Hansen. There are some small guys who have sicker lariats than bigger guys.

The collar and elbow tie up is over used.

I just called a show a couple of weeks ago that had, and I counted, 26 arm bars. It got to the point where I was keeping a running count during the play-by-play.

Saying a lariat is overused is like saying Karate has too many kicks. |
