Samoa Joe’s Muscle Buster is a devastating and uniquely brutal finishing move that showcases his raw power and intensity. To perform it, Joe lifts his opponent onto his shoulders in a fireman’s carry, then shifts them so their neck and legs are trapped—before dropping to a seated position, driving their upper back and neck into the mat. The move looks dangerous and impactful, often leaving opponents motionless. The Muscle Buster helped establish Joe as a dominant force in both TNA and WWE.
