5. Jackhammer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHv0-yVL_go Recently used by: Goldberg (2004) In the late 90s, few finishers brought people to their feet quite like the Spear/Jackhammer combo. Looking at it today, its still visually striking and looks like a killer move if applied correctly. Whether Goldberg was hoisting a giant or lifting a smaller wrestler (who he would hold up in the air for a long time), the crowd usually was brought to their feet. Thankfully, WWE didnt give Ryback the Jackhammer as a finisher (although it would be pretty funny at this point if he did start using it). But come on, its been 10 years. As long as the guy using it has a decent moveset, it could get over big, especially if you start hitting the Jackhammer on Show, Mark Henry, Khali, etc. Give it to Cesaro and put his freakish strength on full display. Superstars who could use it: Big E, Cesaro
