I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Both made me go :gladbron: whenever they were executed.

It was cool how DDP was able to execute the Diamond Cutter from any angle and in so many variations (although I never got how that move could knock you out cold.) The Steiner Screwdriver was used more sparingly, but it was pulled out when you would least expect it. I was low key hyped when I found out that you could use it in WCW/nWo World Tour.

This is a really tough choice.

Came in thinking Diamond Cutter but there's no chance in hell I would ever take a Steiner Screwdriver :picard:

Diamond Cutter is believable as a finisher when we've seen basic suplexes and slams win in the UFC (even DDTs) but they don't always win. But the screwdriver is a fukking PARALYZING move. Piledrivers are fukking banned in MMA, and the screwdriver might be the worst version I've seen not named Tiger Driver '91. Every time I see it in a match, I'm like Jesus fukkING Christ, I'd never want to eat that move.

Given that I'd pick the RKO over the Screwdriver -- because the RKO can be applied to anyone for starters -- I feel like I have to pick the Diamond Cutter over the Screwdriver as well.

But it doesn't matter because since the Big Boot is going home I'm probably picking the RKO over every and ANY move it comes up against. Screwdriver is the American response to the Burning Hammer, IMO.

How do you counter a Screwdriver midway through the move? Because you can counter a Diamond Cutter by, ya know: not falling down.

DDP is easily the better of the two just on a human level, but on god I'd take 5 cutters on concrete before I even considered taking a Steiner Screwdriver in a bouncy house.

Picking the Diamond Cutter because I'm voting for whatever move is up against the RKO.:sas2:

Has nothing to do with the voting criteria.

What is the point of the tournament if people use that criteria?
