30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers
5. John Cena
John Cena can beat any living human with the Attitude Adjustment, and it's one of the most irritating parts of his character. Usually it's because hell just pop up after a twenty minute beating and hit the move for the win. You could probably spend a whole afternoon breaking Cenas arms and legs with a claw hammer and he'd still effortlessly firemans carry you to death. Either that or make you tap to an STF thats generally cinched somewhere around the collarbone. Both of these moves postdate his metamorphosis into the Doctor of Thuganomics, though, and things were very different in his pre-jort phase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhnIJmEiRG8 In OVW, Cena was working a weirdo Universal Soldier gimmick as The Prototype. The Prototype fought his way to the OVW Championship using the Protobomb, a spin-out, one-armed powerbomb that he still uses to set up the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Like Cenas fishermans suplex and hiptoss, the Protobomb has become so exaggerated over the years that it can't even really be classified as a powerbomb anymore. He just lifts you up for a back suplex and the move just kind of happens. It doesn't look great these days, but after 15 years of service, it seems unlikely that it'll wind up with the top-rope fameasser, sunset flip powerbomb and springboard stunner in Cenas trash heap of abandoned signature moves.
