30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers

By Matt O'Connell /

16. CM Punk

For the most visible portions of his career, CM Punk put opponents down with the Go To Sleep, a fireman€™s carry knee strike. Before that -- during his earliest periods in WWECW -- Punk specialized in submissions via the Anaconda Vice, which he'd periodically revive through the rest of his career. In his years on the independent circuit, however, Punk€™s move of choice was a very different one, and it's pretty clear why it didn't make the jump to WWE with him.Punk€™s indy finisher was the Pepsi Plunge, a spectacular top-rope Pedigree. Unfortunately for Punk, his arrival in WWE coincided with the tail end of Triple H€™s active wrestling career, and we all know Hunter€™s position on gimmick infringement. Uh, unless you're cribbing from KENTA, that's apparently fine.
