20 WWE Superstars And Their Signature Bumps

3. The Rock: Handspring Stunner

I debated long and hard about who to include here: The Rock or Vince McMahon. I knew I wanted to have a Stunner sell since they're like beautiful snowflakes, but which to choose? X-Pac and Scott Hall also did it memorably, but Vince and The Rock's are the most distinctive.

I settled on Rocky’s frenetic cartwheel, because even though Vince’s Dudleyan flopping is funny, it never closed out a WrestleMania. It didn't matter if Rock was taking Stunner in the middle of Raw or at the end of the biggest show of the year, he was going to do a handspring and, if at all possible, get his feet caught in the ropes and land on his ear.
