10 Most Overused Moves In Wrestling Today

In similar vain to the Frog Splash, there are select few athletes who are synonymous with using this cutting strike.

Whenever a swiping palm makes contact with the recipient's chest, fans instinctively bellow the Ric Flair's "woooo!", so synonymous are chops with the 'Nature Boy'. Chops are rough, too. On Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions, The 'Dirtiest Player In The Game' matter-of-factly pointed out that the move was his "whole offense", as much as The Undertaker and Bret Hart hated being on the receiving end of them. Can you blame them?

On the other hand, (or rather on that same one), WALTER's chops are ones to be feared. His knife-edge strikes elicit the opposite reactions to Flair's version: "Oow!".

Working around the traditional rules of closed fists being banned, the 'Ring General''s open hand is a malicious weapon, with the blows equating to being hit with a stove-hot, frying pan, resulting in a blunt, heavy impact followed by a lingering, burning sensation. You can almost feel it when you are in attendance or tuning in at home.

No-one can do it quite like these guys. So, when other wrestlers perform it so casually, just to get a "Woo" and effects of it don't take its toll, it's enough to make you wince, and not in the way that it should.
