10 Amazing Wrestling Moves You'll NEVER See Again
4. Hulk Hogan's Leg Drop
It was 2007 when Hulk Hogan last dropped his iconic big leg across a victim's chest, but neither he nor Paul "Big Show" Wight (during a brief sabbatical from WWE) could have known that history would be being made in the process.
Though Hogan wrestled sporadically between then and an enforced 2012 retirement, the finisher wasn't part of his repertoire. Not, presumably, because he didn't want to hit it, but because he couldn't. It's the grim reality of wrestling laid bare - even the man credited with having a safe, body-preserving style at the top of the card had at least one move that caused him no end of bother in old age. Randy Orton's 20+ years of bumping have caught up with him, and that's in spite of him working all of those matches like Randy Orton.
Hogan's bumps generated more money and louder reactions, but just as many bumps, bruises and breaks. Following multiple operations including big ones in and around his hips, 'The Hulkster' had to leave the move in the past with half of his shtick and a bunch of his terrible and dated views.
