10 Terrible Wrestling Moves That Have NEVER Looked Good
Horrendous punches, frustrating spots, and other terrible moves that have always been bad.
Not all wrestling moves are equal.
Some understandably need to look more incredible and explosive than others, otherwise certain finishers and signature weapons just wouldn't be all that impressive.
Even a seemingly quite dull chin lock has its place in this crazy industry, with those "rest" locks often given performers a second to figure out or remind themselves where to go next and (sometimes) intentionally infuriating the audience before an epic babyface comeback.
But then there are those other, far less effective manoeuvres that should have probably been taken out back a long time ago.
Somehow, though, each and every one of the following limp, dumb, or nonsensical attacks have all endured, popping up on the grandest of stages, in high-profile World championship matches, and even putting away some of the most famous name ever to lace up a pair of boots/sneakers.
With a nod to the wonderful folks over on r/SquaredCircle then - whose post inspired this list you're reading right now - it's time to name and shame those dreadful moves that haven't just gotten worse with age; they've generally been awful from the very beginning.
10. Seth Rollins' Pedigree
The current World Heavyweight Champion possesses an unquestionably deep arsenal.
Just when you think you've seen all Seth Rollins has to offer in-between those ropes, the 'Visionary' goes and throws a majestic springboard senton/lionsault combination out into the world.
That's not to say that every single move the former Shield man opts to unleash on his unfortunate opponents leaves fans in awe of the star, though.
One 'Freakin' attack most folks would be glad to see the back of was taken from 'Papa H' after 'The Game' gave the Raw man his blessing to use it as his finisher when the Stomp was originally banned.
It's just a shame Rollins evidently didn't bother to really study how Triple H managed to make his emphatic Pedigree look like such a formidable weapon.
Rather than holding onto his opponent's arms until the very last moment, making the facebuster look that bit more impactful, Rollins releases their limbs way too early and ends up resembling a drunken bloke accidentally falling on top of a pal mid-play-fight.
He has at least largely steered clear from using the disappointing version of the Pedigree as a finisher over the last few years, but most wouldn't be that heartbroken if he quietly retired it sooner rather than later.
