10 Best Ever Counters To WWE Wrestling Finishers

10. Rhyno's Gore Backfires (SmackDown - 2003)

Who has the best Spear in pro-wrestling? Some would argue Bill Goldberg with his full-on 285lb bumrush while others may push for Edge's (admittedly less impactful) version for moments like the time he scythed a dangling Jeff Hardy in half at WrestleMania X-7, though no credible debate on this can omit Rhyno and his Gore.

That 'The Man-Beast' was such a stocky brute of a man was as important to the move's power as the speed at which he rushed across the ring. Paul Heyman's signature "GORE! GORE! GORE!" call got it over huge and Rhyno routinely cut opponents in half with his take on the Spear, meaning every counter was seriously impressive.

Chris Benoit saw Rhyno coming on this episode of SmackDown, taking his opponent's arm between his legs and dragging him down into the Crippler Crossface. An awesome, popping counter and proof that only a moment of perfect technical precision could stop the former ECW World Champion in his tracks.
