10 Former WWE Midcarders Who Had Main Event Finishers

9. Faarooq (The Dominator)

Whether he was leading the Nation of Domination, serving as the Undertaker€™s acolyte or cracking skulls as a member of the APA, there were two things Faarooq never changed: his badass attitude and his finishing move. The Dominator was Faarooq€™s weapon of choice and he used it to devastating effect. Not content with rattling bones by using a series of high-impact spine busters and powerslams, Faarooq would finish his opponent off by lifting them over his shoulder and forcefully flipping them around and slamming them face-first into the canvas. It was an impressive move, one which is rarely seen today. Some believe the reason Faarooq stopped using the move so much in the latter years of his career was due to him almost severely injuring Jeff Hardy on an episode of Monday Night Raw when he wasn€™t able to get Jeff all the way onto his shoulder and ended up dropping him on the back of his head. €œFolded him like an accordion,€ I believe was Jim Ross€™ analysis, but the reason for him dropping the move remain unconfirmed. In any case, when Faarooq retired, he took the Dominator with him. I mean, nobody really classes Bobby Lashley€™s weak version as legit, do they?
