9 Times Wrestlers Used Their Finishing Moves In Video Games

4. Minoru Suzuki - Tekken

You may not know influential mixed martial artist and wrestler Minoru Suzuki, but if you've played any of the Tekken games you've absolutely seen him in action.

From Tekken 3 onwards, Suzuki has provided both motion capture performance and consultancy for the series' inimitable character King, a masked professional wrestler.

Though most of King's moves are pretty typical wrestling maneuvers, such as a Suplex and DDT, he does nevertheless borrow a few moves from Suzuki's own repertoire.

First and foremost, King's Jaguar Driver is clearly inspired by Suzuki's own Piledriver - albeit not Gotch-Style - and King's Dragon Sleeper is a sure nod to Suzuki's own signature Sleeper Hold.

Though Suzuki's own likeness doesn't make it into the game, this is still an incredibly neat way to immortalise him.
