30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers

13. Lex Luger

In the NWA, before Lex became The Total Package, his proficiency with the Argentine backbreaker earned him the nickname, €œThe Human Torture Rack€. The name stuck, not to Luger but to the move, and it would become his most recognizable finisher over the years. In WWE, he was also known to beat opponents with his surgically-repaired €œbionic€ forearm, but neither of these famous maneuvers was his original weapon of choice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shad1dbbUwc In his earliest days, Luger€™s finish was a piledriver with a suspiciously familiar name: the Attitude Adjustment. Unlike most of the cases on this list, Luger would actually return to the AA later in his career, after years of success with the Torture Rack. The reunion tour didn't last long, but it carry Luger through his career€™s only appreciable world title run.
