WWE: 10 Wrestlers Who Had Multiple Finishing Moves
10. The Undertaker
Finishers: The Tombstone Piledriver (1990-present), The Last Ride (2000-2004),Triangle Choke (2002-2003), and Hells Gate (2008-present). When The Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990, he was a walking deadman. Dressed like an 1800s mortician, The Undertaker finished off opponents with a move whose name and effect were both as deadly as his character; the Tombstone Piledriver. And through his first decade in WWF, when the Undertaker slashed his thumb across his own throat, it was clear what was coming next: flipping his opponent upside-down, belly-to-belly, 'Taker would drop to his knees, driving his opponent's head into the mat for the 1-2-3. After Undertaker took a hiatus in late-1999 to rehab tears in his groin and pectoral muscles, he returned not as the embodiment of the walking-dead, but as a tobacco-chewing biker from Hell. As the Tombstone piledriver no longer fit into his new, more-realistic gimmick- plus rumors that the piledriver was being banned due to safety concerns- necessitated a new finisher. To that end, The Undertaker started using an elevated powerbomb (The Last Ride.) To me, this always looked more devastating than the Tombstone, as 'Takers grip on the tights always seemed looser than with other powerbombs, creating a less-controlled slam on the mat. Eventually Undertaker- a fan of UFC and MMA- incorporated two submission moves into his finishing repertoire: the Triangle Choke while still acting as the American Badass, and the Hells Gate (a modified gogoplata) after returning to the Deadman in 2004. Still, all these years later, it is the Tombstone that has finished off the majority of Undertaker's opponents in the last decade.
