Mackknife Powerbomb (A powerbomb into a jackknife pin; Michael powerbombs his opponent to the mat, then as he holds them down on their back, he grabs their legs, and flips forward and lands on his feet, pinning thim to the mat with their own legs.)
Michael-Sault (Muta-Sault)
Van-Halenator (Extreme Matches; Michael's version of the Van Daminator, named after his favorite of pop-metal bands--a spinning back kick or another type of kick to a chair held by an opponent, which then smacks him/her in the face.)
T-Bone Suplex
Finisher
Condition Red (Double Arm Implant DDT aka Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am)
Red Tape(Full Nelson Camel Clutch, either from a lying position or a semi-kneeling position.)
Kumo No Amimono (Identical to his wife's finishing move; Michael grabs his opponent's ankles, and turns them over in an Elevated Crab--aka Liontamer. A submission move that simultaneously affects several portions of the back, as well as the neck, depending on the angle it is applied at.)
The Catastrophe (Tag finisher: the Catastrophe is a combination crucifix powerbomb and springboard spear. Nova usually does the powerbomb, setting up an opponent for it with his back to the ropes as Code Red is waiting on him. Code Red then springboards up and may use Nova's shoulders as a stepping stone before spearing the victim downwards into the mat)
Five-Star Frog Splash(As "M-A-C"--A high-altitude frog splash from the top rope or another high place.)
Michael will adapt his gameplan to exploit a wrestler with a known weakness, and adjust the submission finishing move he uses accordingly. Submission finishers such as the Heavenly Lock, Texas Cloverleaf (used to beat Triple H from WWE), the Anklelock, Figure Four, Sharpshooter, et al may be employed by him.
