Much like Regal, Damien Sandow added a small twist to his neckbreaker variation. By grabbing both arms and crossing them before falling down, Sandow’s Terminus creates the illusion of greater control and more damage at the same time.
The move seemed very appropriate for Sandow’s gimmick at the time, as it implied that he had complete control over his opponent. Moreover, by grabbing both arms, Sandow would put extra pressure on his opponent’s neck, as both arms would push against his opponent’s body when they fell to the mat.
It was a unique move for the most part, as it separated Sandow from the rest of the roster. It did bring him some mild success as a mid-card wrestler and suited his character down to the ground.
