7. The Undertaker / Kane (Tombstone Piledriver)

While it might seem a bit odd to pick this move as a point of emphasis, especially considering Kane's whole schtick used to be how alike he and his brother were, there's a legitimate debate to be had over who pulled it off more effectively.

It's also a much more complex maneuver than the chokeslam or any other moves they share.

Since the move was banned by WWE along with all other variations of the piledriver, Kane and Undertaker are the only two still allowed to use it, which means no other superstars get to crowd the discussion.

Both are big men, but Kane has a couple of inches and about 20 pounds on his kayfabe older brother. Undertaker, on the other hand, has 7 or 8 years worth of additional experience perfecting the move. To keep this fair, though, let's disregard the first year or so that Kane used the Tombstone, since it looked downright comical at times.

Who Did It Better? Using 1998 and on as our barometer, this becomes a very close call. The suddenness in which Kane dropped to his knees always made it look exceptionally jarring during his original masked years, like it was either very impactful or very poorly executed. The problem is that it was often difficult to figure out which it was.

So this has to go to The Undertaker who, even while ensuring his opponent's safety, always gives a little extra hop before slamming their head into "the mat," adding to the devastation factor.
