10 Wrestlers With Finishing Moves That Were Illegal
9. William Regal - Brass Knuckle Dusters
During his dastardly days before acting as the peacekeeper/master of The Blackpool Combat Club or General Manager of NXT, William Regal acted as one of the most violent and vicious practitioners of the dark arts ever to set foot in the industry.
And with this penchant for doing whatever it took to get the job done came a specific tool that became a questionable hallmark within the Brit's typically savage showings.
Coming during his early 2000 run as part of Vince McMahon's Sport Entertainment giant, Lord Regal opted to sneakily call upon the usage of some anything-but-legal brass knuckles in order to overcome Edge at the 2002 Royal Rumble, earning an Intercontinental Championship in the process.
But far from being a one-and-done development, Regal began to rely on the knucks more and more. The foreign object got himself and Lance Storm over the line in their quest to become WWE World Tag Team Champions, too.
Despite undoubtedly sitting as one of the most gifted performers of his generation, pulling off suplexes and sickening submissions with ease, it's this knuckle-dusting-finale to a great many of his contests that still act as some of his most notable WWE moments.
