Story: Christian's finishing move isn't the most devastating move in wrestling, but it looks cool. He hooks the arms of his opponent behind their back, twists his body around and drops them face first into the mat in a DDT-like motion. When Christian returned to WWE in 2009, he talked about the move to WWE Magazine: "I never liked the name Unprettier because its grammatically incorrect just kidding. The real reason is that the name started off as a joke with the Hardys; one day, while the TLC song Unpretty was playing in the background, I said out loud, Im going to call my move the Unprettier because when I hit you with it, it makes you feel so damn unpretty. Then an announcer said the name on the air and it stuck. To me, though, its a vicious move, and Unprettier never matched the moves sheer impact. For all this time, Ive wished I could change it, and my return to WWE offered the perfect opportunity. But I dont know how I came up with the name Killswitch; it just hit me one day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2gy1Evb1Kg That's a funny story because you wouldn't think that a song from a pop music group would help a guy come up with a finishing move name, but it worked. Why People Believe It: It was such a big song for TLC that it does make the story feel like a possibility. Should We Believe It: As bizarre as it sounds, it's probably true. It's not like that is a word somebody would just make up.
