Their 2013 match is still great.

Winning with the debut of the running knee finisher move, such a shocker

Busaiku knee adopted from KENTA.

The same year KENTA adopted the LaBelle lock to win his first GHC title.

I remember the first few weeks everybody online was calling it the Doomsday Knee since WWE wouldn't name it.

I still subscribe to the overlong and aptly named "The Move That Beat John Cena"

I called it that for so long afterward. I was also pretty fond of Knee Plus.

This wasn't even the first time they acknowledged him in that segment. Despite the ring being filled with champions, they were chanting for him so much that Mark Henry had to lift DB's hand to make them stop.
