* SpectacularSpinning: His [[RedBaron nickname]] the "King of Swing" comes from his giant swing maneuver, which involves him grabbing his opponents by the legs and just spinning around and around and around. He also does a springboard corkscrew uppercut (basically imagine the [[Franchise/StreetFighter Psycho Crusher]]), and has been known to do a [[UpToEleven no hands]] Spinning Argentine Backbreaker dropped into a slam. His mastery of spinning makes him [[NoSell immune]] to other people's attempts to render ''him'' dizzy through spinning.

* BaldHeadOfToughness: Downplayed; he initially was balding rather than all bald, though he seems to have later started shaving the rest off eventually. Nonetheless, it certainly helps accentuate the toughness of his technical wrestling. Crosses into BaldOfEvil as a heel.

* {{Shoryuken}}: His Very European Uppercut is basically a standing variation. He does have a jumping variation done off the middle rope, but it looks more like [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Sol Badguy's]] Volcanic Viper.
