10 WWE Superstars Who Performed The Perfect Elbow Drop

10. Big Show

tumblrtumblrWCW fans used to hear stories of how The Giant was working on a moonsault at the Power Plant, a maneuver that would absolutely stun fans if it was ever used during a match. Although it never came to pass, the notion that in WWE The Big Show could ascend to the top rope and hit a high spot fascinated people. The closest we ever came was the top-rope superplex by Brock Lesnar on Smackdown that collapsed the ring. It seemed like any kind of launching was unlikely. That is, until Survivor Series 2011. There, Big Show would go to the limits to stop Mark Henry€™s onslaught in a World Heavyweight Championship match (this was during Henry€™s €œHall of Pain€ era). Show, sensing he needed some sort of knockout blow, climbed to the top rope and launched himself at a prone Henry, delivering an elbow to the champ. Show would go on to win by DQ, but that one elbow drop from a 450-pound man deserves inclusion in this list.
