10 Wrestling Finishing Moves That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

Taking any move to the upper turnbuckle should make it more thrilling, since it ups the ante. Because of this, most aerial techniques are prepped slowly and carefully, to ensure both parties are perfectly in place.

However, the top-rope inverted suplex is more trouble than it's worth. Albert Del Rio, who popularised the finisher, begins by hooking his opponent in a Dragon Sleeper, while sitting on the highest turnbuckle. He then flips his opponent backwards, slamming them into the mat.

Since neither wrestler is facing the ring while this suplex is carried out, the victim will be flying blind until the last second. Due to the move's unpredictable nature, there's no telling what body part the opponent will land on, making it far harder to avoid injuries.

But there's another problem with this suplex - it's not visually impressive. Because both wrestlers have less than a second to get into place, the top-rope inverted suplex is rarely performed with any grace or precision. If a finisher doesn't wow the audience, there's no need to perform it, especially if it's incredibly dangerous.
