30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers

15. Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan€™s combination of the Yes! Lock and the running knee strike has been an extremely successful one. The knee knocked out John Cena to close out SummerSlam 2013, and the Yes! Lock won him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30. Although these moves have proven to be extremely successful in WWE, neither was really in the moveset of indy darling Bryan Danielson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZXxAwXW9UQ Although Danielson was a true submission specialist who could end matches with any number of painful holds, he did have a go-to finisher: the Cattle Mutilation. The Mutilation was a grounded double chickenwing submission, with the attacking wrestler bridging for leverage. Danielson was also known as €œMr. Small Package€ during this period, as he was so good at mat wrestling that he could use that most basic of moves as a finisher.
