10 Wrestling Moves That Have Been Completely Ruined

10. Swanton

Jeff Hardy popularized the Swanton Bomb during The Hardy Boyz' rise to superstardom in the late '90s, leaping off everything from turnbuckle posts to the top of entranceways. The high-risk move led him and his brother Matt to many tag team championships, so fans knew it was game over whenever he hit it.

The Charismatic Enigma started using the move at a time when aerial maneuvers weren't nearly as popular as they are today, which helped him stand out as a daredevil during the Attitude Era. It didn't look impactful every time due to him grazing his opponent with it instead of landing on them at full force, but it always made for a spectacular sight.

In 2020, the Swanton doesn't feel remotely special other than when Hardy performs it.

Nick Jackson, who bares a lot of similarities to Hardy as far as his in-ring work goes, hits the move on a regular basis but rarely uses it as a finisher. It's impressive whenever Kevin Owens does it as well, but it's never for anything more than a close two count.

A simple high-angle senton bomb isn't enough to wow audiences anymore.

Of course, it's far from the only high-flying move that has been ruined in recent years.
