Signature Moves:

  • Legacy Plunge - Double Arm DDT - Andrew Sterling's primary finisher called the Corinthian Plunge
  • Legacy Submission - Double Chickenwing with Body Scissors - Sterling's finishing submission move called the Too Cool Submission
  • Von Braun Leglock - Figure-Four Leglock - Von Braun family move
  • Superkick - A hold over from some of the Von Braun clan. There's no shuffle to this move. Von Braun plants and extends the leg, primarily used as a counter.
  • Belly-to-Belly Suplex - His favorite execution sees him wrap up the opponent with Von Braun's back to the buckle. He'll pivot and spin to make a 180 degree turn and then execute the move (Scott Steiner uses this).
  • Legacy Screwdriver - Screwdriver/Vertical Suplex Piledriver
  • Rising Star Driver - brutal looking Backdrop Driver
  • Enzulariaito - brutal clothesline to the back of the head
  • Von Braun Stomp - Garvin Stomp - Here's the order of execution: stomp to the face, left shoulder, left arm, left knee, left ankle, left foot, right foot, right ankle, right knee, right arm, right shoulder, finish with another stomp to the face.
  • Flying Fistdrop - middle turnbuckle fistdrop - Von Braun climbs up backwards to the middle turnbuckle. He measures up his opponent with his right hand and then jumps off delivering a fistdrop and landing on both knees (Jerry Lawler's middle buckle fistdrop is the exact execution of this move). This was used by his great uncle, Scott Von Braun, and also used by his first cousin, once removed, Brian Von Braun.

Finishing Moves:

  • Divine Right - Stalling Leaping Piledriver - He'll usually hold the piledriver for about five to ten seconds if possible, but that's not always the case. The execution is that of Jerry Lawler or Paul Orndorff with the jump instead of the sitdown variety.
  • End of an Era - Cobra Clutch Crossface - Imagine the Crippler Crossface with trapping the arm and then apply a cobra clutch.
