10 WWE Moves That NEVER Win Matches

1. Draping DDT (Randy Orton)

Whenever Randy Orton hits his scooped powerslam, that ornate twisting backbreaker thing he does or this draping DDT, you just know a two count is forthcoming. The guy hasn't won matches with anything other than his RKO or sickening punt (less so for that one) in many years now.

He never will either.

The rope-based DDT is a high spot of his bouts, in fairness, and fans do respond whenever Randy gets that almost-orgasmic expression on his face before driving some poor sap's head into the canvas. All those histrionics shouldn't deviate from the fact that Orton just doesn't win matches with this one.

Jake Roberts must be bloody livid.
