10 Most Over-The-Top Finishing Moves In WWE History
Sometimes it pays to be eccentric and these are the moves that add a touch of flair and theatricality to any match.
If you want to succeed in WWE, you need a hefty arsenal of manoeuvres you can't survive on a suplex and DDT alone, you need something stored up in the bank that causes serious damage. You need a move that is definitively yours, a move than has been honed to perfection and is so powerful that it can be the last physical act witnessed in the main event of WrestleMania. You need a finishing move, basically. Over the years the locker room has shown the WWE Universe an impressive array of lifts, throws, jumps and drops that signal the climax of the match-up. From John Cena's Attitude Adjustment to Brock Lesnar's F5 to Triple H's Pedigree, these are the moves we cheer for and the moves we all try at home on cuddly toys (because we're too weak to actually lift a human being more than six inches off the floor). These finishers are often more than signifiers of dominance; they're a chance to show off to the audience and prove your athletic ability. Alternatively a finisher can be a chance to get a quick laugh or cheap pop out from the kids on the front row, and these are the ones that stick in the collective memory of wrestling fans everywhere for being so ridiculous that it's hard to believe they could ever be used in a fight at all. Here are the ten most over the top finishing moves in WWE history.
