8 Devastating Moves Watered Down In WWE
7. S.O.S
Kofi Kingston has been using the S.O.S as a secondary move
ever since arriving in World Wrestling Entertainment. You’ll know what it is,
but in truth the move is fairly difficult to describe. It is something like a
modified Russian leg sweep, albeit one where the individual performing the move
does a front flip in the process.
Kofi’s version is a fairly slowed down version of what is called a Ranhei, a move innovated by Japanese wrestler Madoka. Madoka’s version is far more intense, and needless to say it would be a more than acceptable finishing move if Kofi used it in such a fashion.
As it is, Kofi’s watered down S.O.S will rarely be more than a signature move.
