10 Wrestling Moves That Have Been Completely Ruined

It's no secret that Diamond Dallas Page's uber-popular Diamond Cutter laid the groundwork for Randy Orton's RKO years later. The slight variation with it being a jumping cutter as opposed to a standard cutter made the move even more exciting and fit Orton's frantic persona to a tee.

The RKO quickly became one of the most protected moves in the entire company. Whenever he hit the move (usually out of nowhere), it spelled the end of his opponent. It helped that he could connect with it regardless of the situation or who he was facing, making fans immediately think of The Viper whenever anyone else attempted to hit it.

It's been used by a lot more people than just Orton lately, specifically Cody and other members of the AEW roster.

The jumping cutter looks cool for the sake of looking cool, but it's nothing special for anyone not named Randy Orton. It's such a simple yet special move that for it to be watered down the way it has been is sad to see.

Despite being hit through tables and off turnbuckle posts, it doesn't win nearly as many matches as it should. At least Private Party seem to be successful with it, though you would never know it because of how infrequently they appear on television.
