Check out this link for an awesome Youtube clip of Cole Cassidy bodyslamming Alexi Adamov during a BG East match. There's so much to like about this bodyslam. The best part is how Cole Cassidy grabs Alexi's shorts when he scoops him up and carries him around. I've complimented Cole about this technique in my blog before. It just makes the bodyslam that much more awesome. Cole says that "hoisting a dude up by the crotch says everything about who's completely in control, however, when the trunks are used for leverage, it sends an additional message that the recipient is only wearing those trunks because he is being allowed to by the opponent. That's overwhelming control in my book." Cole Cassidy clearly understands the bodyslam.
The size difference between these two wrestlers is pretty noticeable. For this match, BGE puts Cole Cassidy at 5' 8" and 165 pounds, while Alexi Adamov comes in at 6' 3" and 220 pounds. But Cole has no problem hoisting his bigger opponent up to carry him around the ring before delivering a big bodyslam. As he's writhing on the mat in pain after being slammed, you hear Alexi say, "You're fucking strong for a little guy." That's another thing that's so great about this bodyslam. There's no more chest bumping, no bravado, no smack talk coming from your opponent. He's been slammed hard and humbled to the point that he compliments you. That's when you know you've reached alpha male status on the wrestling mat.
