It's been said so many times that it's become gospel, tag-team wrestling isn't quite on the same level today that it was many years ago. Often, fans have bemoaned the idea of 'odd couple' tandems, longing for the days when tag-teams were fixed units. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are therefore a breath of fresh air.

Performing together as The Club, Gallows and Anderson have a similar menacing look. Better yet, they also have a signature move that really comes across as dangerous despite the relatively safe nature of it. That move is known as the Magic Killer, and is actually little more than a glorified Neckbreaker.

As aforementioned during the intro, even the most basic of moves can become visually appealing if used correctly. The Magic Killer needs both men to perform it, and the snapping movement really gives it impact.

This is not a WWE creation, the move is one Gallows and Anderson perfected in Japan before reaching the promotion. Good tag-team moves really can't be discounted. In fact, more would be welcome from other duos.
