10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Seth Rollins

5. The Curb Stomp

Hindsight is 20/20 (or so they say), but surely WWE knew better than to allow Seth Rollins to win his first ever WWE World Championship using the Curb Stomp if there was a chance it would be instantaneously removed from his arsenal? Unless the company was trying to make more work for their incredible video editing team, this was amateur decision making at best.

Rollins' first finisher (and in the eyes of many, his true finisher) in WWE was the Curb Stomp, a move that is exactly what one assumes a wrestling move called the 'Curb Stomp' is. If you aren't aware, it involves Rollins putting his boot to the back of a prone opponents head and driving them face-first into the canvas. It isn't pretty.

Rollins stopped using the move not long after winning the big title, and after a brief stint using a frankly lame collapsing DDT he began using Triple H's Pedigree. This remains his finishing move to this very day, despite never locking his damn hands properly.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
