10 Best Ways WWE Protected Finishers

10. The Hulkster Misses His Vital Leg Drop Against The Warrior

When the Immortal Hulk Hogan finally collided with the barmy Ultimate Warrior on The Grandest Stage of Them All back at the sixth edition of WWE's showpiece WrestleMania event, fans knew that something simply had to give.

With both men possessing finishers that were known for keeping just about anyone who had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of them down for the count, it stood to reason that should either megastar nail the other one with their match-ender, that would be that.

So, in order to keep from squeezing some of the drama and stardust out of either icon's Splash or Leg Drop conclusion, the subtly brilliant call was made for WWE Champion Hogan to lay out his Intercontinental Championship-holding challenger with a Big Boot before ultimately missing his infamous touch of death via hamstring to the mug.

Warrior therefore didn't diminish the power of Hogan's strongest weapon en-route to nailing his own all-conquering finisher shortly after for the win, and Hogan's Leg Drop mystique would be maintained for that little bit longer... until every man and his dog started popping up from it, of course.
