This moves inclusion on this list is based entirely on how Triple H and his Pedigree finisher have been booked over the last twenty years or so. Apart from that one notorious incident at WrestleMania XII, when Hunter Hearst Helmsley delivered a Pedigree to the Ultimate Warrior and Warrior kicked out almost immediately, the Pedigree has been booked as one of the most devastating maneuvers in WWE. There have been few occasions where anyone has kicked out of a Pedigree from Triple H, with the exception of some title defenses and big matches. Maybe that stems from Triple Hs backstage influence earlier in his career, or maybe its because Vince wanted the move to be protected as much as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uinU-o2rQvU Whatever the case may be, Triple Hs Pedigree is one of the most successful and devastating-looking wrestling maneuvers in WWE history.
