WWE: 10 Wrestlers Who Had Multiple Finishing Moves

7. Chris Jericho

Finishers: Lionsault (????-present), Lion Tamer / Walls of Jericho (1996-present), Breakdown (2001-2002), and theCodebreaker (2007-present). If Chris Jericho is "The Man of 1004 Holds," those final four are the moves listed above (with 75% of the remaining 1000 being arm bars.) Jericho's first finisher was his Lionsault, a move he created using a duffel bag full of clothes in a small arena in Mexico. He brought it with him to WCW, where he was considered one of the top cruiserweights in the company. He was also one of the biggest cruiserweights, and he used that size-advantage to make his submission hold The Lion Tamer- a Boston crab combined with a knee to the back or neck of his downed opponent) that much more painful. Unfortunately, with his move to WWF in 1999- and a size-increase in the men he faced- the Lion Tamer was no longer possible to realistically place on larger foes. To that end, Jericho began using a modified version (closer to the original Boston Crab hold) he called "The Walls of Jericho" when facing men bigger than Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero-types. When Jericho faced The Rock at 2001's No Mercy pay-per-view for the WCW Championship, he felt it appropriate to debut a new finisher in putting away The People's Champ; when Stephanie McMahon slipped a chair into the ring, Jericho locked Rocky in a full-nelson, and fell forward, driving Rock's face into the steel seat. To much little crowd reaction, Jericho had debuted "The Breakdown", a move that would later be used- with much more frequency and success- by The Miz. With The Breakdown behind him, Jericho left WWE in 2005, but returned two years later, ready to debut a new finisher. Stealing a page from the Indies- and playing off the Matrix-style vingettes teasing his return- Jericho faced Santino Marella on a November episode of Raw, and hit the Italian funnyman with a double-knee-facebuster he called "The Codebreaker." The move was more successful with both the fans and the other wrestlers than The Breakdown, likely because it required little set-up and could be hit at anytime (both characteristics of an effective finisher.) And actually, since Jericho debuted both the Breakdown and Codebreaker after attempting to read his list of 1,004 holds, maybe Jericho today could be known as "The Man Of 1,006 Holds?"
