10 Awesome Wrestling Moves WWE Must Bring Back

2. The Shooting Star Press/Red Arrow

There are few sights more beautiful than a shooting star press done right. Many WWE wrestlers have attempted the move, which requires a high level of skill and agility, with mixed results. Billy Kidman's SSP was hit-and-miss at the best of times. Literally, in some cases: there were several times when Kidman either barely hit his opponent or missed them entirely when he was supposed to connect. Paul London's version was beautiful but was banned after Kidman accidentally knocked out Chavo Guerrero with a clumsy effort and Juventud Guerrera inured London with a 450 splash. Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania XIX attempt is notorious and Evan Bourne had one of the prettiest shooting star presses of all time but is now gone from the company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv3mBzWaChs The shooting star press is now up for grabs and it looks like current NXT Champion Adrian Neville will be the next man to regularly use the moe on WWE TV. Only Neville has put his own 'twist' on the move, which he calls the Red Arrow, adding a 360 degree spin when he's halfway through the air. WWE audiences have been getting a taste of the move on live events and during a tag match on the September 7th Raw. The Red Arrow only scratched the surface of the high-risk moves that Neville can do with the greatest of ease.
