10 Amazing Wrestling Moves You'll NEVER See Again
2. Triple H's Pedigree
Never within a match, anyway.
'The Game's post-"cardiac event" retirement at WrestleMania 38 put paid to him putting on the tights again, and with that went the opportunity to leave countless wrestlers lying on the floor selling for ages as he marched towards another victory.
Though Hunter failed to ever ascend to the levels of contemporaries Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock or Mick Foley despite his best efforts, his finisher was consistently as deadly as the Stunner, Rock Bottom and Mandible Claw. In protecting himself, he protected that, and the victim being driven face-first into the match looked convincingly beaten every single time he buckled their arms in place.
It's a solid kickout high spot now. In his lofty shadow, both Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins have picked it up as a potential kill shot, with the ironic caveat being that - not unlike 'The King Of Kings' - it never really does the job.
