10 WWE Champions With The Worst Finishing Moves

2. John Cena - Attitude Adjustment/STF

Time away from the business has been kind to John Cena's body of work, as fans have realised that he could hang with the best of them, and is a better wrestler than many give the man credit for.

Sure, he wasn't a technical mastermind like Daniel Bryan, nor an explosive in-ring general like AJ Styles. But in the right environment, Cena could work magic with his opponents, and there hasn't been anyone in nearly two decades who did the over the top, dramatic WWE main event style quite like him.

In his later, exceptional run with the WWE United States Championship, Cena proved he was more than just a main event meathead, and showed some impressive wrestling skill against most of his opponents. The only problem was, he would have to put them away with such poor finishing moves, especially for a certified legend like himself.

The Attitude Adjustment should have been a brutal Death Valley Driver, but in the meaty arms of 'The Champ', it is nothing more than an elevated fireman's carry, one of the most basic of moves. It lacks any sort of impact and it beggars belief how many times it's put away seemingly main event stars. The less said about his STF the better. Just look at the picture above and you can see how sloppy and loose it is applied.

Cena is one of the best WWE superstars ever. But there is only one person who achieved so much with less...
