10 Wrestling Spots That Pissed Off Legends

In the face of what often felt like whole arenas accusing him of not being able to actually do the thing he was being paid to in a wrestling ring, John Cena decided to freshen up his toolkit in 2015.

However, one particular attempt to reinvigorate his move-set didn't go down too well with a rather notable WWE legend, it has to be said.

As Cena went to war with Rusev over the United States Championship at WrestleMania 31, the Face that Runs the Place suddenly hit a ridiculous springboard variation of Stone Cold Steve Austin's trademark stunner mid-match. Yet, the fact this spot didn't result in the match being concluded clearly irked the Texas Rattlesnake, with Austin stating around the time, "had they looked further down the road than the short term he would have had a real valid great badass finish than just a set up which now means nothing."

Thankfully, Kevin Owens would restore some credibility to the move in recent times, pulverising folks left, right, and centre, and actually winning matches with the aforementioned stunner.
