10 Times Wrestlers Totally WASTED Awesome Moves

7. Spinning Back Elbow - Andrade El Idolo

After spending the first few years of his AEW career doing very little of note outside of clashing with 'Spanish Gods' behind-the-scenes, Andrade El Idolo finally appears to be getting into his stride in-between the ropes again on Collision.

One thing has become painfully clear during those hard-hitting displays against the likes of Bryan Danielson, Buddy Matthews, and Jay White, though: This Mexican star is currently using the wrong move as his violent conclusion.

Currently, El Idolo is fond of either locking his rivals in the family weapon known as the Figure Eight or smacking their heads down to earth with a hammerlock DDT when looking to wrap a contest up. But neither of those attacks hold a candle to the visual of Andrade suddenly catching his opponent with a wicked spinning back elbow out of the blue.

Hell, most would openly admit that El Idolo's version of the swift bone to the head looks even more barbaric than Chris Jericho's own Judas Effect, making the fact Andrade still doesn't opt to end his matches with it seem even more bizarre.

From the way he sets up the cruel burst of violence with a big boot feint, to the disgusting sound that usually follows, this is a nasty move that nobody should be kicking out of.
