Meanwhile Jake Roberts applied a beautiful logic on the topic. The reason why his finishing move (DDT) is now done as a transitional move and people barely go for the pin afterwards, is because no one can do it like he can. If Jake was the one to hit it, you would not get up.
I feel the same way about Young Bucks' superkicks vs. Shawn's superkick. If Shawn does it, you're done or it's at least a false finish. If the Bucks do it, you kneel down or more easily retaliate. It's almost as if less force is applied or something.

Can't have high spots in every match. The thing that put the industry on the map, was athletic story telling with a proper build up. Now people expect 'devastating finisher' type moves, to be used multiple times in a match. So what's gonna be the next level of 'evolution'? A 450 flip off of the rafters into a spinning super kick? More is definitely not better.

If they weren't doing Superkicks as their go-to moves, I feel that people wouldn't get so upset about the Bucks' matches. Plain and simple, they do them because they look cool, and their Superkicks aren't treated as anything more than simple, cool-looking moves, similarly to how dropkicks were used up until the late-80s/early-90s. Sure, if the Superkick was supposed to be their finisher and they were doing a dozen each match, then that'd be a cause for concern, but it isn't, so I don't see what the big deal is.
Correction: I do see what the big deal is. HBK did a Superkick. That's it. I love Shawn Michaels, but just because he did a move back in the day doesn't mean other people can't do it under different contexts.

My main problem with the Bucks is that almost nothing about them is original material. Their pose, all the superkick spamming, the dives, the flips, the moonsaults, etc. They stole all that and more from Shawn Michaels and The Hardys.
