10 Greatest Diving Elbow Drops Of All Time

Test, on the other hand, placed much greater importance on his rendition of the flying elbow drop. In fact, it was originally used as his main finisher during his early years with the company.

He used the attack to full effect when he captured the Hardcore Championship from the Big Boss Man in January of 2000—his maiden title win with the company—and again when he defeated William Regal for the European title 12 months later.

What made his move so impressive was ease with which he pulled it off despite his considerable size. At 6’6” and 285lbs, Test is the largest superstar to feature on this list, built in the classic WWE heavyweight mould. And yet he still looked completely comfortable in launching himself from the top rope, often making it over halfway across the ring.

Unfortunately though, Test’s contract was cancelled by mutual consent in February 2007. Had the big man instead stuck around, who knows what heights he could have taken his flying elbow drop to—both figuratively and literally.
