6. That Bull Hammer Is Devastating

Since 2012, Wade has changed up his signature moves a bit. While he still uses the Winds of Change spinning side slam from time to time, his finishing move is now a brutal looking elbow smash to the head he likes to call the Bull Hammer. In the early days, Wade would use a forward fireman€™s carry slam called Wasteland, and while the name had a nice ring to it, it wasn€™t a very exciting finisher. The Bull Hammer is so much better both in theory and in execution. For the longest time guys like Tito Santana and Lex Luger scored massive pops out of using a running forearm/elbow to the head.Now Barrett continues the tradition with a finisher that can come out of nowhere and really surprise the opponent. Much like Randy Orton€™s RKO, Barrett has the ability to use the move from any angle and any direction. Just when you think the other guy has the match won, BAM, Bull Hammer from out of nowhere. It€™s fast, it€™s effective, and it€™s giving Barrett the edge he needs in order to be appealing to the crowd.
