10 Wrestlers Who Perfected A Non-Finishing Move

4. Undertaker - Old School

Triple H Spinebuster

This one could probably rank even higher on this list due to how iconic it has become; however, there were always a few aspects of this move that just seemed too improbable. The idea that a wrestler would suddenly become so cooperative in allowing the Deadman to almost literally walk a tightrope in the middle of an all-out slugfest being the primary one.

However, this is ultimately unimportant; wrestling fandom is all about suspending disbelief, and if buying into the idea that the old-school could be executed without cooperation from the opponent is unbelievable to you, you might struggle with some of the more supernatural aspects of the morticians backstory.

As with the last entry on this list, this move is all about the theatre. It requires a protracted setup, and takes a long time to execute, but there is something undeniably suspenseful in watching a 300 lbs-plus giant execute a move requiring such balance. Now 'Taker is retired, going back and watching him perform staples of his moveset such as this are particularly joyful.
