The Brogue Kick may be the most tired finisher in modern WWE. I don't even mean only that it's played out (it is), but Sheamus literally looks tired when he hits it. It used to be a full-extension bicycle kick, but 2015 Sheamus is one 48-hour stay in a tanning bed away from throwing Hulk Hogan big boots. Nevertheless, it's one of WWE€™s most protected finishers, and all of Sheamus€™ other big moves have fallen by the wayside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7LF7v_TaMM Case in point: the High Cross. It was the biggest bomb in the Celtic Warrior€™s arsenal during his WWECW run, and he used it to demolish the Colin Delaneys and Stevie Richardses of the world. In what's becoming something of a recurring theme in this article, it was yet another crucifix powerbomb, albeit a particularly impressive variant that often saw the opponent sail diagonally across his entire ring.
