12 Greatest Flying Elbows In Wrestling History

The actual elbow drop part of Shane's maneuver almost always looks like trash, but it's also way beside the point. The Leap of Faith is not about technique, it's about jumping an inadvisably large distance, either vertically or horizontally. He might be lightly grazing your thigh with his wrist, but he's doing it by jumping to his probable death from thirty feet in the air.

The Leap of Faith is always an event, and while Shane isn't ending every match with the move, it's supremely memorable when he does. The move even stayed in WWE video games for the entirety of Shane O'Mac's time away from the company. Such is the drive to put guys through the announce table with bad elbows.
