WWE: 10 Most Unoriginal Aspects Of The Fiend

It hasn't been unusual in professional wrestling for a superstar to perform another wrestler's signature move from the past. Randy Orton's RKO was a variation of a jumping cutter similar to DDP's Diamond Cutter. The Rock Bottom, as explained by Dwayne himself, [was] a modified suplex he saw in Japan. Countless powerhouses have added moves like a spear to their arsenal over the years. And they were far from the only culprits. Rarely, though, did one superstar's move set embody several established signature moves as much as Bray Wyatt's did.

The most obvious move 'The Fiend' borrowed was the Mandible Claw, made famous by Mick Foley during the Attitude Era. Considering how Wyatt attacked Mick Foley to obtain the move, however, it could have been argued that the hold was stolen from Foley in the way Sylar used to steal superpowers in Heroes.

The use of the Mandible Claw was sweetened with Foley's involvement, but other signature moves like Sister Abigail have far less original origins. Sister Abigail is a reverse swinging STO, a variation of a maneuver used by many wrestlers of the years, even including Justin Gabriel and Shad Gaspard. Outside of WWE, the move has been popularized by Evil in ROH and NJPW.

Aside from adding a kiss to the STO, Wyatt has done little to give his moves a fresh look. Axel Mulligan's Stunner, Husky Harris' Running Senton - as history shows, the abovementioned weren't the only moves borrowed by Wyatt, and they weren't likely to be the last.
