10 Most Over-The-Top Finishing Moves In WWE History

2. The People's Elbow

Widely regarded as the Most Electrifying Move In Sports Entertainment and the one move 100% guaranteed to bring even the most jaded wrestling fan to his/her feet, it's The Rock's grand finale. Yeah, he's got the Rock Bottom in the bag for taking guys out here and there but it's what follows that spinebuster in the middle of the ring that sends hearts racing and hands into the air. What it actually is: An elbow drop. What it looks like: Standing over his opponent like a hunter stands over his prey with wry grin, Rocky gives each shoulder a kick to line up the carcass for the gargantuan amount of damage coming its way. Of course, this isn't just any old elbow drop, The Rock makes that clear by tossing his elbow pad straight into the crowd exposing his (gasp) bare elbow! That might not sound so menacing, but you're forgetting that The Rock then runs and bounces off the ropes TWICE. That adds an extra 200% power to the right elbow, especially when Rocky kicks his leg out a bit on the way down into the drop. How nobody has died at the hands (or elbows) of Hollywood's top action star is a minor miracle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7my_hMxZAU
