7. Spear - Roman Reigns

The spear has become one of the most commonly used finishers over the last two decades, but as a result, it comes with a certain amount of (ahem) pedigree. Edge, Goldberg and Charlotte have all made great use of the move, and whether you like him or not, Roman has the ability to dish out a mean spear when he wants to. He might hit his opponent with a flurry of Superman Punches throughout their match and not pick up the win, but a well-timed spear usually marks the end of the contest.

Only a select handful of men have kicked out of a Roman spear – the man’s former Shield brothers Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have both powered through it, as has the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar, who probably sprinkles actual iron spears on his morning cornflakes. Shane McMahon managed to raise a hand at Survivor Series 2016, after Reigns speared his oncoming Coast to Coast dropkick, but Shane was eliminated by ‘technical knockout’ anyway. His glazed eyes told the real story.
