16 Best Wrestling Finishers Of All Time

10. The Undertaker - The Tombstone Piledriver

Batista The Undertaker Tombstone Despite the move being created by Andre the Giant, the Tombstone (Reverse) Piledriver has been mostly associated with the Undertaker for a quarter of a century. The Tombstone has been a popular finisher, and it has been seen far more in WWE due to the fact that it€™s safer to deliver than a regular Piledriver. It also looks more devastating in some cases, especially when the Undertaker delivers it. The reason this move isn€™t higher on this list is because the Tombstone has become a popular signature move in Japan, mainly by smaller wrestlers. Jushin €˜Thunder Liger, Kaz Hayashi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Kazuchika Okada all use the Tombstone as a regular or signature move, and it rarely, if ever, leads to a pin fall when used by these wrestlers. Furthermore, there have been a few rare cases where the Undertaker had to use the Tombstone multiple times on a single opponent in one match, though those were rare occurrences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwHgqQYlGWQ Nevertheless, there€™s a reason that the move is called a €˜Tombstone€™ Piledriver these days; the Undertaker popularized the move, and put away many powerful opponents over the decades with this impressive maneuver.
