10 Deadliest Haymakers In WWE History

7. Bad News Barrett's Bull Hammer

Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train - WrestleMania XIX
WWE

Wade Barrett will forever be remembered as one of WWE's biggest missed opportunities. The young up-and-comer's victory on the first season of NXT kickstarted what appeared to be a positive journey for him, but one rivalry with John Cena later and his push was in tatters. Though he would drift around a few directionless storylines in the years that followed, WWE did come close to making things right when they repackaged him into Bad News Barrett.

Barrett was aggressive and vicious in the ring, and this was rounded off nicely by his Bull Hammer finisher (formerly known as The Souvenir). He would turn his elbow pad inside out before clobbering his opponent in the face with the point of his elbow, which almost always resulted in a win, even if it was rarely a major one.

It's unfortunate that Barrett wasn't treated more fairly because his physical style of wrestling set him apart from every other superstar on the roster.
