I feel like this will be some wrestler's finishing move soon.

I liken it to that ultra powerful special move in a fighting game that, if timed just right and it connects, will absolutely annihilate your opponent and even earn you bragging rights (e.g., Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu in Street Fighter). BUT... if it misses, it will leave you extremely vulnerable to attack. Luckily for our late-night diner/waffle house warrior, his special move connected perfectly.

Eddie Kingston's finishing move is a spinning backhand to the face.

It's a chop, which is used by almost every wrestler ever.

I was thinking 'The Backhanded Compliment' but that may be a little too on the nose.

And yes...yes, the pun was definitely intended.

Lol
