10 Most Protected WWE Moves Ever

10. Cobra

Okay, it might not be the most credible of starts, but the facts speak for themselves. Santino Marella was released last month, and hadn't been involved in active competition for two years before that, but he was still in possession of one of the most deadly finishing moves in all of modern wrestling.

As far as I know, Daniel Bryan was the only man to kick out of the Cobra, doing so at Elimination Chamber back in 2012. Sure, Marella wasn't often in high-stakes competition and if he had been I imagine John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, and others would have kicked out of this puppet-assisted strike thrust. You can only beat what is in front of you however.

Love it or hate it, the Cobra put many down during its tenure in World Wrestling Entertainment.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
