10 Transitional Wrestling Moves That Should Be Finishers
9. Superplex
Speaking of the top rope, the Superplex is a move that has always been an impressive move sure to get the crowd on its feet.
Bret Hart used it on special occasions, the most famous of which came at SummerSlam '94 when he Superplexed his brother Owen off the top of a steel cage.
Power & Glory used a version of it combined with a top rope splash, called the PowerPlex, in what may be the best, most underrated and underutilised tag-team finish in wrestling history.
The Superplex is move where both competitors are at risk and it makes an explosive sound when both bodies come crashing down to the canvas. In 2016, many of the big guys are even capable of taking the move, making it look even more spectacular.
Although the ring doesn't need to break every time it happens (see: Brock Lesnar & Big Show, or Big Show & Mark Henry), setting the move up as a true finisher, instead of being used in transition, is a great way to use that eye-bulging spot on the most special of occasions.
