10 Fascinating Facts About Famous Wrestling Finishers

10. The Last Ride Made Wrestlers Void Themselves

The Undertaker's Hall of Fame induction has catalysed discourse over how great the man actually was.

Is he a bonafide legend whose poorer efforts were the understandable byproduct of a career that spanned over three decades?

Or did he benefit profoundly from WWE's 21st century monopoly?

When wrestling was competitive, 'Taker was only great for two years (1996, 1997). He was dog sh*t in the Attitude Era and was allowed a year of prep to get over as a truly world-class in-ring worker during the peak Streak years. He worked astonishing matches that didn't take place at WrestleMania - most notably a killer effort against Kurt Angle at No Way Out 2006 - but it's an intriguing question.

His Last Ride powerbomb proved that the man absolutely got it, patchy record or no. A wicked variation on the move that deepened its power, with the dread-inducing set-up and broken elevator descent, that he performed it so safely is a testament to his working prowess. He didn't damage a single neck.

He did however - if Kurt Angle is to be believed - nearly make many a man sh*t themselves. Speaking on his podcast, Angle said that it "knocked the sh*t out of you". "Empty everything before," he warned. "You'll go to the bathroom in your pants with that move alone."

It's a good job Triple H used the facilities before taking it; the man was so full of sh*t that André the Giant himself would have marvelled at what he left in the ring.
