20 WWE Superstars And Their Signature Bumps

When we talk about wrestlers' movesets, we're generally talking about the unique offensive maneuvers that give their matches a unique flavour. Shawn Michaels tunes up the band, Ric Flair throws knife-edge chops like they're going out of style, and "Stone Cold" stomps mudholes that they may be walked dry. When you think about it, though, the things a wrestler does to his opponent are only half of his repertoire.

This article therefore focuses on the things that wrestlers do to themselves on a regular basis that no one else does. You'll find everything from idiosyncratic sells of common maneuvers to rather contrived bumps that arise from situations that never seem to happen to anyone else. It's all here, from the Bret Bump to the Nestea Plunges, and from Dolph Ziggler literally taking flight to sell a transitional move to Yokozuno resorting to interpretive dance to avoid falling down.

Note: The sunset flip begins at 19:43 of the video.

Cesaro is a legitimate super-athlete, and with the singular exception of the time he decided to lawn dart himself into the ground on a suicide dive, he's almost always in utter control of his body. He's where he needs to be, whether he's there to pluck a 250 lb. hoss like Big E out of mid-air, or to uppercut some poor person's soul right out of their body. Brother can do an airplane spin with no hands.

That's why is extra hilarious that Cesaro -- Dean Malenko in Lex Luger's body -- has no idea what to do when someone hits him with a sunset flip. He'll get a look of sheer terror on his face and start wildly windmilling his arms around in a desperate attempt to escape a pinning combination that has pinned approximately zero wrestlers ever.
