It takes a lot to be professional wrestler, and its so much more than being a good hand in the ring. Theres a sense of showmanship required to really connect with the crowd. A flashy entrance helps, as does some sweet ring gear, but if someone really wants to make a statement and be remembered, they need a dynamic signature move that fans will pay money to see. For as long as wrestling has been popular, wrestlers have put their opponents away with moves that they do better than anyone else. Bruno Sammartino had his Bear Hug, Hulk Hogan had the Atomic Leg Drop and Dusty Rhodes had the Bionic Elbow. Fans latch onto these signature moves and they can make or break a career. In the late-eighties a proposed Hogan v Jake The Snake Roberts feud was nixed when the fans chanted for the heel Roberts to hit Hogan with his famous DDT. More recently, one of the biggest draws of The Attitude Era was seeing who Steve Austin was going to hit the Stone Cold Stunner on that week, and The Rock turned an elbow drop into the most electrifying move in all of entertainment. As wrestlers continue to strive to push the limits of their athleticism, theyre constantly innovating new holds and manoeuvres. These are the ten coolest signature moves you can see every week in WWE.
