100 Best Wrestling Moves EVER
29. Trevor Lee | Cave In
The Cave In is an extraordinary athletic flex and creative strike.
Trevor Lee, with an astonishing vertical leap, jumps several feet in the air and drives both soles down into the chest of his opponent - who, completing the trick, goes up just before the flat-back. A unique finisher with an awesome and dynamic impact, it’s also reflective of a character who, inexplicably, hasn’t had a fun episodic TV run in years.
Trevor Lee is a booker’s dream.
He’s piss-funny as a heel and as solid as hands go. His finish works when he’s playing this role, since he’s a cowardly stooge with a deceptive level of skill. In that context, the Cave In is a tremendous smash and grab.
As a babyface, Trevor Lee with his (knowing) dimwit charm is massively endearing: the Cave In doubles as the move that he can only hit once he thinks he’s beaten and the adrenaline of defiance courses through his body.
Intersecting the spectacular and the disgusting, the Cave In doesn’t look too clean either, conveying a nastiness or sense of struggle, depending on the situation.
