10 Wrestling Moves Wrestlers Refuse To Do Anymore
9. Mustafa Ali - 054
Quickly making a name for himself in WWE whilst performing under the often overlooked 205 Live lights, Mustafa Ali soon found himself being called up to the likes of Raw and SmackDown on the back of epic high-flying showcases against the likes of Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy.
One of Ali's more eye-catching weapons to implement whilst in the midst of battle was his one-of-a-kind inverted 450 splash, or The 054 as it's also known. However, those who have been closely following the star's career within Vince McMahon's empire will have no doubt noticed Ali's decision to move away from using the high-risk top-rope finisher in recent times.
When asked on Twitter exactly why the former RETRIBUTION leader opted to scrap his 054 splash from his toolkit by a fan, Ali replied with a simple yet understandable answer: “I wanna be able to play with my grandkids one day.”

Perfecting a Koji Clutch submission as his new way of earning those all-important 'W's in the squared circle, it looks like the days of a high-flying conclusion to Ali's matches are well and truly over.
