2. The Undertaker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt5THZlaFtQ When it comes to awesome Chokeslams, its impossible to ignore the Undertaker, who has been using the move as either a signature or finishing move for the majority of his career. Undertaker has provided fans with many infamous moments involving his Chokeslam, including when he Chokeslammed Mick Foley through the cell. For the most part, Undertakers Chokeslam has been one of the most impressive. There are many examples of him getting some amazing elevation out of this move, and just as many examples of him Chokeslamming someone bigger or heavier than him, which is one of the principle reasons to use the move in the first place. Seeing Undertaker Chokeslam Mark Henry, the Big Show, The Great Khali, Vader, and Viscera, among others, is one of the major reasons why Undertaker has managed to be so popular; supernatural strength from a supernatural character. That said, Undertaker doesnt top this list because some of his Chokeslams havent been particularly good. There were instances when he didnt get the right elevation (even against light opponents). Worse, Undertakers Chokeslam hasnt been taken seriously as a match-ending move since 2005 or so, when he started his Superstar comeback motions, and the Chokeslam was nothing more than a setup for the Tombstone. If Undertaker had won more matches with the Chokeslam during the later years of his career, maybe hed rank higher. But theres one WWE Superstar who ranks above him, primarily because the Chokeslam has been his finisher way more than it has been Undertakers.
