10 WWE Finishers That Were Quickly Dropped

10. Kane - Falling Powerbomb

Early-WWE monopoly Kane was awesome. The Big Red Machine might not have a litany of tremendous matches that stick long in the memory, but for a period between 2001 and 2002 he was one of the most consistent performers on the show, having under the radar bangers with opponents as varied as Albert, Rhyno and X-Pac. Hairy, wide or small, Kane was bringing his working boots to the ring every single week.

Was it entirely coincidental that this was also the time he started using a falling powerbomb as a finisher? I'll leave you to answer that. Kane's powerbomb was a vicious thing of beauty, arguably the best non-Sid division powerbomb in the history of WWE. The Big Red Bugger would hoist his opponents up before violently hurtling them to the ground, bringing himself to his knees along the way. It was simple, it was effective, it was fantastic.

The move didn't last too long as a finisher for some reason, eventually being phased out as the chokeslam returned. That chance also coincided with Kane returning to the land of wacky storylines (Shane McMahon's b*llocks want a word) and lumbering matches.

Still, we'll always have 2001 Kane. 2001 Kane was awesome.
