10 Wrestlers Who Hated Taking Wrestling Moves

10. Bret Hart Thought The Doomsday Device Was Stiff Enough

The impact made by The Legion of Doom/Road Warriors on tag team wrestling can still be felt today, with many talented units of the modern generation still opting to utilise the duos dynamic finisher, or even a modified version of it, in their own arsenals today.

However, just because the Doosmday Device went on to become an iconic match-ender doesn't mean it was always a walk in the park to take. As Bret Hart famously noted during his 2006 WWE Hall of Fame induction when recounting the tale of Road Warrior Animal and Hawk performing their signature move on Vince McMahon himself in a bar, the two were looking to take the boss' head off in the surreal setting and "their finish was bad enough as it was". The Hitman would then clarify soon after, "I mean, stiff enough, anyway," clearly suggesting that he wasn't a fan of the pair's execution of the devastating weapon.

Interestingly, Hart would famously draw inspiration from The Legion of Doom when crafting The Hart Foundation's own iconic Hart Attack finisher, swapping Jim Neidhart holding their opponent in a bearhug instead of on his shoulders to ensure a safer, but no less impressive, landing.
