10 Wrestling Finishers That Haven't Worked In Years

While it may not technically still come with the moniker it did upon first being unleashed within a WWE squared-circle by the eventual Face That Runs the Place, there's no denying the fact that one of John Cena's Five Moves of Doom is pretty much a carbon copy of his one-time match-ender.

During that early run within the company, in all his vibrant, trunked glory, Cena would win the day in-between the ropes with his Proto Bomb finisher; a modified spin-out powerbomb of sorts.

And it was only when coming face to face with fellow Next Big Thing Brock Lesnar that the future multiple-time WWE Champion decided it was time for a change. April 2003 saw the birth of Cena's pointed dig at The Beast's F5 but the name of the F-U, a Death Valley Driver he's still putting down the odd foe with today whenever he decides to head back to WWE for a spell.

Clearly feeling the Proto Bomb still had something to offer in terms of being a pretty cool way of inflicting damage, though, Cena would adjust the move a touch before using it as a set-up for his Five-Knuckle Shuffle.

Yet, neither of said moves have ever really immediately led to a victory for Super Cena in the wake of the Attitude Adjustment's arrival, acting as little more than signature steps on the road to an emphatic AA or STF finale.
