12 Greatest Flying Elbows In Wrestling History

10. Demolition's Decapitation

The only tandem elbow drop on the list was the instant-kill finisher of Demolition. Smash would execute a backbreaker -- often enough to end a match in the 1980's -- and then leave the opponent suspended. Then Ax would jump from the middle rope, laying an elbow across the victim's neck.

Okay, so no one's head actually came off their shoulders, but the Decapitation was absolutely bulletproof back in the day. Even if Ax's elbow wasn't the most graceful -- and it wasn't -- it might as well have been a shot from a literal bazooka in terms of efficacy.
