2. The Five Knuckle Shuffle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZlsSLKT2Cc The Five Knuckle Shuffle that John Cena uses isn't here because it's a slang term for masturbation. Like I had written months ago when writing about the things to
forget about John Cena: "At least the kids dont know what that is, or at least we hope they dont." The move is listed here because of how ridiculous it is. It's one of the "five moves of doom" that people like to mention when they want to rip on Cena. Most wrestlers have signature moves, so it's not like Cena is the only one that does it, but his haters like to bring it up as if he's the only one like that. The way Cena sets up the move is by delivering a spinning suplex that puts his opponent on his back. Then Cena holds up his hand in the air as the crowd cheers because they know what's coming. He does the "you can't see me" hand gesture, then runs the ropes and drops a fist. What's bad about the move is that people have to pop up to their feet after he does it. That just looks dumb. They have to do that because the move that follows is the Attitude Adjustment. It makes no sense that a punch to the head that follow a few other moves would lead to somebody standing back on their feet. Thankfully Cena doesn't use the Five Knuckle Shuffle as a finishing move. It's not like the Attitude Adjustment is that great, but at least it looks like more of a finisher.
