The person using the move can look like a killer but the person taking the move can always just go to sleep without tapping out, and there’s no shame in that. Not only is it believable, it’s also something different to end a match with. Why is this not someone’s finish? Guys get put to sleep with variations of this move on every UFC show. As they say, ‘it ain’t ballet’ and not every move should result in a flat-back bump. If the wrestlers are confident and competent enough to do certain moves then let them.
#BEST WRESTLING MOVES NAMES PROFESSIONAL#
It’s professional wrestling – sorry, sports entertainment – and it’s supposed to be dangerous, but the guys and gals are highly trained and highly skilled. By the way, remember Droz? He’s in a wheelchair now because of a Powerbomb a move still seen every week. Yes, it’s a dangerous move and can cause serious injury if done incorrectly. I can specifically remember the Fabulous Rougeaus and The Brain Busters using this trick. It’s a good rest hold, looks like it would be painful and the old ‘leverage’ trick can be executed by heel tandems. I’m putting this at number 3 purely because it’s brilliant for a heel tag team to gain heat. I remember a time when Edge, Rhyno and Goldberg were all using the Spear/Gore in WWE and the world did not explode. Also, there’s way too much political correctness about not using a certain move because someone else does. There are guys in NXT and the main roster that could benefit from a more simplified move set, so what’s wrong with this? Yes, the Walls of Jericho is a version of the Boston Crab and that’s Chris Jericho’s finish, but he’s not with WWE right now. from the second rope instead.įinisher of NJPW’s Young Lions, because it’s really basic and easy to execute without fucking up. Anything off the top rope will pop a crowd, but if you’re a heel that’s not what you want to do, so hit that elbow, fist, knee etc. Surely the middle rope is ideal for a heel. The only time the middle rope seems to get used these days is in the set-up for a superplex.

Why always the top rope? Why always high risk? Why not make use of the bottom or middle ropes? Bret Hart sticks in my mind as one of his ‘5 moves of doom’ was an elbow from the middle rope.
