12 Greatest Flying Elbows In Wrestling History
12. Tyson Kidd's Springboard Elbow

Much like AJ Styles' Phenomenal Forearm, the move started with Kidd perched on the ring apron. He'd then jump to the top rope and bounce from there, executing a tight elbow drop to a supine or seated opponent.
Kidd's elbow always looked good, but it was never a finisher or even a prelude to it. In never got any pins, but it was a highlight of any Kidd match.
