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

13. Superplex

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mznoogzr5i0 Used To Deadly Effect By: Barry Windham, Cowboy Bob Orton, Dynamite Kid, Super Destroyer, Chris Candido Aside from serving as the specific signature hold of a couple guys, the superplex was once an all-purpose one-hit KO that could end any match if it hit. That was back in the 1980€™s, though, when a standard vertical suplex could sometimes put an opponent down. These days, you€™re guaranteed to see at least one superplex on every wrestling card, and it will never get more than a two. Uh, unless Big Show is involved, in which case the ring implodes and everyone thinks long and hard about the physics of that. In fact, nowadays, doing any finisher off the top rope, especially in a big match situation, seems paradoxically less likely to get a win. When was the last time you saw Kurt Angle actually pin a guy after a Super Angle Slam?
