If there's anything the present WWE product is making clear, it's that it's not easy to come up with a signature move that is both original and technically impressive like, say, the Stone Cold Stunner, the Rock Bottom or the Pedigree. To see how bad it's gotten, just check out my previous post about the
10 Worst Finishing Moves, while here, I've tried to come up with 10 moves that combine technical elegance with power, originality and a much-needed "how did they do that?" factor. Here are the 10 best finishing moves in the WWE right now...
10. Dolph Ziggler: Jumping DDT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtFhPwcb86M This is what I alluded to earlier in my previous article when complaining about the Zig-Zag. This move I have had in my head for a long time, hoping that one day I could perform it myself if I ever stepped between the ropes again. No sooner had I decided that if I did return this would be a signature of mine than I see Ziggler performing it much better than myself or anyone could ever perform it. What many people forget about DDTs is that it should always be a finisher or desperation move. The logistics speaks for themselves; its a front face look which drops you directly onto the top of your head, which would no doubt cause the spinning of stars or a knock out quite easily. The fact he jumps onto and pulls his opponent down from 6 feet up just adds to this. I hope he goes on to use this as his genuine finisher from now on, and the only reason it is at number 10 is because I cant recall him ever putting someone away with it. Heres hoping!
