There simply could not be a list of the best finishing moves used by wrestlers who never reached the very top of the card without including arguably the most famous manoeuvre ever devised, the DDT. Created and made famous by Jake The Snake Roberts, the DDT has been so watered down that it barely looks to hurt the opponent these days, let alone knock them unconscious. A simple enough move, the DDT sees Jake lock his opponent in a front headlock before driving them head-first into the canvas. Not bad for a move which was created entirely by accident! (Roberts slipped while applying a front facelock) The DDT has become so watered-down that everyone and their mother uses the move these days, but the original was certainly one of the best finishers ever (even if these days it barely gets a 2 count). Similar finishers inspired by Jakes DDT: Implant DDT (Gangrel), Raven Effect (Raven), Edgecution (Edge)
