10 Wrestling Moves Let Down By Terrible Names

8. Watch Yo' Face

UNDERTAKER BAD MOVE NAMES

Alicia Fox certainly deserves an award for coming up with one of the most "out there" finishing move names. Instead of just going with the traditional Scissors Kick title like those before her, she renamed the manoeuvre with the rather direct Watch Yo' Face.

If nothing else, it's definitely memorable, but it's completely let down by the fact that her Scissors Kick almost always hits her opponent on their back or the back of the neck. Moreover, the force with which they fall to the mat is never enough to injure their face. So, allow us to pose this question: Why is it called the Watch Yo' Face? Shouldn't it be called the Watch Yo' Back?

The issue here isn't that the name itself is terrible, because it's quite a funny nickname. However, it would work far better if it was used for a move that actually targeted the opponent's face. Due to this juxtaposition, the Scissors Kick often looks like a fail because the victim's face is never even remotely hurt.
