Those immortal words from the great Jim Ross once sold the magic of Steve Austin wonderfully. Now, maybe Tom Phillips can start shouting, "KO! KO!

It did just pin the reigning WWE Champion, after all, and that shouldn't be taken lightly.

You couldn't fail to have spotted that move though, so it doesn't fit on the list here; Owens himself has been merrily tweeting Austin to celebrate his use of the finish, and Phillips even yelled, "Oh hell yeah" as Daniel Bryan went down for the count. Subtlety? Who needs that?
