30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers
16. CM Punk
For the most visible portions of his career, CM Punk put opponents down with the Go To Sleep, a firemans carry knee strike. Before that -- during his earliest periods in WWECW -- Punk specialized in submissions via the Anaconda Vice, which he'd periodically revive through the rest of his career. In his years on the independent circuit, however, Punks move of choice was a very different one, and it's pretty clear why it didn't make the jump to WWE with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz51K-c8Y8s Punks indy finisher was the Pepsi Plunge, a spectacular top-rope Pedigree. Unfortunately for Punk, his arrival in WWE coincided with the tail end of Triple Hs active wrestling career, and we all know Hunters position on gimmick infringement. Uh, unless you're cribbing from KENTA, that's apparently fine.
