16 Classic WWE Finishers That Can't Win A Match In 2015

7. Atomic Drop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTSEBdh4Lw0 Used To Deadly Effect By: Bob Backlund, Berzerker Do you know how good Bob Backlund is at doing the Atomic Drop? Well, literally every other wrestler that€™s ever executed the move has just made his opponent wander off holding his butt, while Backlund€™s version causes guys to collapse into a helpless puddle of unconsciousness. Maybe he just learned about all the secret pressure points of the human tailbone in a secret collegiate wrestling dojo somewhere. The only other guy to routinely finish guys with the move was the Berzerker, who would use to to launch dudes over the top rope, then march around saying HUSS and licking his hand while they got counted out. So, uh, Bob Backlund and the Berzerker. Maybe nobody on today€™s roster has enough wrong with them to really make the move work. If Ron Killings had adopted it while he was going through his Lil' Jimmy phase he'd still be WWE Champion.
