10 Forgotten Finishers Wrestlers Suddenly ABANDONED

10. Chris Jericho’s Breakdown

Chris Jericho has used a ton of different finishers throughout his career. He's had the Walls Of Jericho submission, that weird triple powerbomb thing he used to do, the moonsault off the ropes, the Codebreaker and even the Judas Effect elbow. Good luck remembering his use of the Breakdown though.

Say what?

The move was identical to Jeff Jarrett's Stroke and The Miz's Skull Crushing Finale. Jericho deployed it a fair bit in 2001-2002, then started using the thing more as a high spot/near fall moment in his matches after that. See above for him hitting the Breakdown on a young John Cena at Vengeance '02.

Jericho even used it to beat The Rock for the WCW Title in '01, but the Codebreaker became his go to in later years. 'Y2J' would turn that into his main finisher, but keep the Walls submission for select matches too. Suddenly, the Breakdown was background noise and barely won any bouts.
