10 Wrestlers Who Are The Best At Precisely ONE Move
9. Moonsault
Historically, Vader's moonsault was unbelievable.
It did not look physically possible. Vader was one of the biggest units in wrestling history, and his moonsault was an incredulous joy. It looked like he did well not to break his opponent's ribs. It didn't look pretty, per se, but it looked better than "pretty", evoking the same feeling of a naturally occurring phenomenon, like a violent storm. Keith Lee's moonsault updates that feeling with a more graceful technique.
In terms of pure technique, you could make the argument that the original remains the belt. The Great Muta's pioneered moonsault looked amazing - the arc was perfect, and he looked as though he was violently flinging himself to the mat to create the maximum, most painful-looking connection.
Christopher Daniels later perfected the suspended-in-air motion, and while not quite the prettiest moonsault ever, Tiffany Stratton's version is superb.
The winner - past and present - belongs to Hangman Page and his perfect Asai variation. His moonsault combines everything that rules about the move: he seems to hover in mid-air, the arc is clean and spectacular, and the impact is awesome.
Looking as though he is intent on crushing his opponents, he grasps the press element of an aerial move better than most.
