  1. Bitch slap. And the reverse spinning bitch slap. And Shibata’s version is the Bitch Maker

  2. Spinning backhand, the normal slap I suppose could be considered a straight hand slap because it’s kept firm. A pimp slap of you will.

  3. In Karate I think it’s called an Uraken, and I’ve heard Excalibur call that for an Eddie Kingston strike just like that before.

  4. Some would call it a palm strike or just a slap. The one Kenta does from the front could be described more as an Overhead Palm Strike. The back-spinning one is just a spinning chop. If it’s a closed fist with a spin, I’ve heard it called a Spinning Backfist or the Uraken.

  5. Tanahashi’s is called the ‘Dragon-shiki Harite’ according to Puroresu System wiki anyway. Shibata and KENTA’s Spinning ones are just that, a Spinning Backhand. The others are just Open Hand Slaps.

  6. Damn…Shibata performing an exorcism and blasting the spirit out of Goto there…
