10 Wrestling Moves Wrestlers Refuse To Do Anymore
6. Zack Ryder - 450 Splash
Back when he was more interested in shouting "woo, woo, woo" instead of forcing indie fans to unanimously scream out "f*** you!", Zack Ryder decided to rise to John Cena's United States Championship Open Challenge on the May 25, 2015 edition of Monday Night Raw.
Three years on from the last time he felt like a genuinely over talent, the cast of Entourage helped give The Long Island Iced-Z an unexpected shot in the arm on the night. Clearly feeling the need to take things up a notch after such a glowing endorsement, Ryder pulled out all the stops, including an insane 450 splash off the top rope.
However, this all-or-nothing attack seems to have left a sour taste in the star's mouth, evidenced in his response to a fan recently unearthing his rare use of the manoeuvre on Twitter. Getting straight to the point, Matt Cardona's response of "Never again" tells you all you need to know about his feelings towards the flipping splash.

Though the fact he ultimately failed to connect with Cena upon unleashing his version of the move is likely another reason he's in no rush to dust it off again.
