10 Greatest Finishing Sequences In Wrestling History
2. Eddie Cheated! (WWE No Way Out, 2004)
If you were to place the late, great Eddie Guerrero's utterly ingenious slip of the boot finish from WrestleMania XX on this particular list, you wouldn't find many being in a rush to argue.
But your writer is instead opting for another equally outstanding final stretch from that same period of Latino Heat excellence, one that went down one PPV earlier at No Way Out, 2004.
In the lead-up to the night's main event, no one in their right mind honestly thought that the loveable veteran was going to walk out of the Cow Palace as the new WWE Champion. After remarkably holding his own against the all-conquering Brock Lesnar, though, the unthinkable started to become increasingly possible.
On the back of an F-5 taking out the official, Lesnar's other ongoing rival in the form of Goldberg soon bulldozed his way into the bout, spearing The Next Big Thing after Brock tried to use his strap to gain an advantage.
Yet, in a move that threatened to kill the fairytale ending that looked there for the taking, Lesnar still managed to hoist Guerrero up for another signature finisher, only to be dropped right onto the title himself!
A final cry of "Eddie Cheated!" from Taz as the ultimate underdog soared through the air then put the iconic finishing touches on the mightiest upset in WWE history.
