10 Finishing Moves Too Awesome For WWE

10. Young Bucks - Meltzer Driver

...The Young Bucks. They may not be the cup of tea of everyone but it is impossible to deny that Matt and Nick Jackson are one of the finest tag teams on the planet today. They have often garnered comparisons to the Hardy Boyz, but the Bucks are way more high-flying than Matt and Jeff ever were.

So what about their finishing moves? For years the Bucks used a combination called More Bang For Your Buck, which involved a quick succession of a rolling fireman's carry slam into a 450 splash immediately followed by a moonsault. It was visually impressive, constantly damaging to the victim and showed off both the aerial assault and instinctive teamwork of the Young Bucks.

In 2014 however, the brothers introduced a new finishing move. Named the Meltzer Driver (after wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer), which is as ridiculous as it is impressive as it is flashy. The move involves as Tombstone Piledriver, which is pretty devastating on its own, but it is embellished by the addition of a 450 springboard spike. Sure, it is a little ridiculous, but wrestling is inherently ridiculous.
