While most entries on this list rely on some mixture of technique or athleticism to execute their DDTs, Orton is rather more originalhe utilises his environment. For years now, weve seen Orton use the middle rope as an elevated surface from which to hang his opponent before dropping them on their headhence the moves hangman DDT moniker. The Viper has also been known to develop that hangmans technique further. Guys like the Big Show have been known to taste the move from the very top rope, while Orton has also nailed it from off of ladders,announce tables, and sometimes to two opponents at once. The fact that Orton has innovated the move and continues to do so on special occasions is enough to establish his take on the DDT as one of the WWEs very best. Furthermore, the nuanced theatrics that he adds to proceedings, as well as the vicious impact of the moves finish itself, are perfectly in keeping with the Vipers gimmick. Its as effective a move as it is appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjBYnWiItys
