17 Reasons WrestleMania 17 Is The Greatest Wrestling PPV Ever

9. The Van Terminator

As if the elbow dive from the top rope through the table wasn€™t enough. As if the Trish turn wasn€™t enough. As if the Linda reveal wasn€™t enough. The best part of the Vince/Shane match was the finish, which had Shane do a Van Terminator (a top rope dropkick from one side of the ring to the other). This move was made famous by Rob Van Dam in ECW, but Rob was a world class athlete. Although Shane had done some death-defying stuff over the past few years, this was by far the most athletically challenging move for him, and he pulled it off. Seeing Shane do this move today should get your mind racing as to what tricks he€™ll pull out 15 years later when he faces The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32.
