10 Most Ridiculous Wrestling Finishing Moves Ever

7. The Spin-A-Roonie

Booker T was always a pretty cool guy to watch. A fireball of energy and charisma (with a background in breakdancing, no less), Booker T was one of the most memorable World Champions of his era. Sadly, WCW sort of used him as their version of The Rock at the end of the company€™s run, which only heightened the €˜WCW is to WWF what Go-Bots was to Transformers€™ dynamic. Still, he was a genuinely excellent wrestler and the eventual Booker T vs. The Rock match made for thrilling TV (Rock won, obviously). Having said all that, Booker T was kind of a weird guy. Lanky and slightly uncoordinated, the guy seemed to be a little out of touch with reality and, um, obsessed with his hand. Because he was a €œfive time WCW Champion€, he would gaze lovingly at all five fingers of his hand and shake his head about as if he was in a powerful voodoo trance of some description. I suppose it was meant to look scary, instead, it appeared as if WWF creative had given him the gimmick of a compulsive masturbator. Dropping down to one knee (which didn€™t help matters at all, it must be said), Booker would then launch into an awesome breakdancing move, before delivering a mighty scissors kick to the head of his opponent.
The problem was that Booker would often celebrate with a €˜spin-a-roonie€™, as he called it, before his opponent was dispatched, which basically meant that he lost more than a few matches due to his proclivity for dancing instead of fighting (and you thought Fandango was a dumbass). The second problem was that he called this manoeuvre a €˜spin-a-roonie€™, which is a f*cking stupid name for a wrestling move.
