10 Insane Wrestling Moves AJ Styles Doesn't Do Anymore

2. Spiral Tap

Fosbury Flop
TNA

If there's a move that's harder to do than a shooting star press, it would have to be a corkscrew. The wrestler performing the move has to flip and twist with expert accuracy, all while remaining cognizant of how far he has to fall before hitting the ground - otherwise, he might land in the wrong position.

Earlier in his career, Styles had his own version of the corkscrew - the Spiral Tap. "The Phenomenal One" climbed to the top rope and twisted upside down and sideways, landing in a senton. Though Styles is a smaller wrestler (his size has allowed him to pull off such amazing moves), the landing on the Spiral Tap always looked brutal, making it a great finishing maneuver.
