10 Awful Moves Talented Wrestlers Need To Stop Using
10. Chris Jericho - Judas Effect
Chris Jericho is a creative genius. His ability for crafting stories, matches and angles is unparalleled. That being said...even a genius is allowed a few missteps.
A good idea in theory, Jericho decided to introduce a new finisher during his first match for AEW. In the lead up to his match with Kenny Omega, Jericho commented on how he had developed a new finisher that is more lethal than any of his previous moves. That new move was dubbed The Judas Effect and was a spinning back elbow, which to this day no one has kicked out of.
The move has strong MMA credentials, with many fights inside the Octagon being won with a spinning back elbow. In wrestling however, the move looks weak. It is a move that is often found to be a transitional move for competitors like Andrade. So to see Le Champion winning all his matches with this INCREDIBLY protected move just seems a bit too far out of the realm of possibility. To Jericho's credit, he has managed to get the move over massively, but the execution of it leaves a lot to be desired.
