10 Most Impractical Wrestling Moves

1. El Generico Special

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDkCbMw_GIQ El Generico, a.k.a. WWE€™s Sami Zayn, is a very accomplished wrestler. If you€™ve ever wondered where the €œOl逝 chants in the WWE crowd come from, they€™re cheering for Zayn. A truly skilled high-flyer, as El Generico he had some very impressive moves, most notably his unique take on the Brainbuster, in which he€™d drop his opponent head first onto the top turnbuckle. But that€™s not why he€™s on this list. El Generico is on this list because of his signature move, the Generico Special, a Double Pumphandle Sitout Vertical Suplex Powerbomb. When doing this move, Generico does the following: he bends his opponent over and hooks both of their arms from between their legs. Then he lifts them up by their arms, flipping the opponent over in the process. While still holding them up by their arms, El Generico transitions from a double wrist-lock into a vertical Suplex hold, lifts his opponent up vertically, and then slams them into a Sitout Powerbomb. Of course, that move is very impressive. Generico demonstrates strength, technique and control while performing this move, all of which are good for a man of his stature to make himself look like a skilled wrestler. However, this is one of, if not the single most impractical move in wrestling. Generico goes to such long and complicated lengths to Powerbomb his opponent, when he could easily perform an ordinary Sitout Powerbomb and get the same result. Of course, it is this commitment to technique and skill that made El Generico, and now Sami Zayn, a star. So as wildly impractical as it may be, it€™s a good thing that he used the move; it€™s impressive as hell. Thanks for reading.
