10 Best Stolen Wrestling Finishers In WWE History

1. Triple H Tombstones 'Taker (WrestleMania XXVII)

While the two WrestleMania bouts contested between The Undertaker and Triple H in 2011 and 2012 weren't quite on par with 'The Deadman's' classics with Shawn Michaels, both were fantastic in their own right, and stand proudly among the best offerings from 'Taker's legendary Streak.

Their second match is generally regarded as the stronger of the two, but WrestleMania XXVII was still outstanding. 'Taker and 'The Game' worked the WWE 'big fight' formula to a tee. Their all-action No Holds Barred brawl had the crowd glued throughout, and while Triple H begging Undertaker to "stay down" was pretty ridiculous, it created an incredible spot.

Frustrated by his opponent's fight, 'The Game' shook off a Goozle, then ran his thumb across his throat. The audience gasped. They knew exactly what was about to happen, and seconds later, Triple H was pinning The Undertaker after destroying him with a Tombstone Piledriver.

The tension was palpable. It felt for sure that the Streak was coming to an end there and then, particularly as Triple H had symbolically folded 'Taker's arms across his chest. Thankfully, it wasn't to be, and Undertaker kicked out, but for conning the whole world into believing the Streak was over, him and Hunter sit atop the mountain of finisher theft.
