10 Best Chokeslams In Wrestling History

8. Abyss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKftr1Z4lGI Abyss has been TNA€™s resident monster since the company was founded back in 2002. Standing around 6€™8 and weighing around 350lbs, Abyss towered over virtually all of TNA€™s most prominent wrestlers, many of whom were more agile and cruiserweight-oriented athletes. This size difference made Abyss€™s take on the Chokeslam look more devastating on TV, as he looked like he could overpower them with absolutely little effort. At the same time, however, Abyss€™s version of the move lacks some of the elements that make his Chokeslam look more impressive. In particular, he doesn€™t always get the same kind of elevation that others do, and when he lifts his opponents, they don€™t always bend their legs. This makes it look like Abyss isn€™t using enough strength to lift his opponents, which is the last thing that you€™d want in a move that€™s entirely dependent on the illusion of super-strength. Abyss should stick to the Black Hole Slam and the Shock Treatment as his finishing maneuvers. He does those moves far better than the Chokeslam, but his is still a relatively impressive take on the classic move nonetheless.
