10 WWE Superstars Who Performed The Perfect Elbow Drop

By Scott Carlson /

8. The Rock

tumblrProbably the most famous elbow drop in wrestling because of who executes it, the People€™s Elbow certainly deserves recognition here as the Most Electrifying Move in Sports Entertainment. The move itself is a simple running elbow drop with a bunch of theatrics added on: kicking the arm, pulling off the elbow pad, running the ropes, winding up and dropping the elbow to the chest. While the move itself doesn€™t appear to be very devastating, the People€™s Elbow brings fans to their feet. It causes people to lose their minds as Rock winds up and delivers the elbow €œright into the black heart€ of an opponent, as J.R. would say.Through the years, the People€™s Elbow gained more notoriety with its variations. Probably two of the most famous are the sliding-to-a-stop elbow (video is above) and the tandem elbow with Mankind. The sliding elbow just gave Rock an extra cool factor, as it looked like there was nothing he couldn€™t do and make it look so smooth.
