10 Former WWE Midcarders Who Had Main Event Finishers

Proof that a great finishing move doesn't guarantee main event status.

It's difficult to have a conversation about which WWE wrestlers had the best finishing moves without it quickly turning into a rundown of Hall of Fame inductees. The likes of Steve Austin, Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage certainly deserve a mention as, after all, their respective finishers won them numerous titles and created memorable WrestleMania moments we're still talking about today. However, if you were to take a look at the talented midcard during the years when those Hall of Famers reigned, you would quickly notice some equally, if not even better, finishing moves on display. These days, WWE tries to build drama and keep the crowd invested in its matches by allowing wrestlers to kick out of each others finishers with alarming ease. Back in the day, the moves of these midcarders won championships, settled disputes and caused some serious damage. Each and every one was devastating. Despite none of them ever winning the WWE Championship and spending the majority of their careers hustling in the midcard and battling for secondary titles, they all deserve to be on anyone's list of best finishing moves ever. Let's hear it for the guys who may not have been closing the shows but did possess a way of disposing of their opponents that was of a main event standard.
