30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers

1. Steve Austin

No move in wrestling history ever got a bigger or more consistent pop than the Stone Cold Stunner. Honestly, nothing else comes close. What started out as a somewhat inventive jawbreaker evolved over time to a rapid-fire instant-kill that could mow through small armies of Indy guys dressed up as security guards. Even today, more than a decade after his retirement, a Steve Austin appearance isn't complete until he's Stunned each and every adult human within arms€™ reach, and it's still guaranteed to be the pop of the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHPkP2HIFio Before this, Austin€™s finish was clumsily dropping you across the top rope. Yes, Stunning Steve€™s Stun Gun was the lazy brother of Snake Eyes. That's, uh, the bad Kevin Nash finisher from a few pages back, not the G.I. Joe ninja. Austin spent years flapjacking dudes into the ropes before joining WWE and switching over to the legendary . . . Million Dollar Dream.
