WWE: 7 Finishing Moves That Should Be Resurrected

1. Harlem Hangover

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuhVOHEM1VY Recently used by: Booker T (2003) At WrestleMania XIX, Booker T headed to the top rope and launched himself toward a prone HHH, hitting the Harlem Hangover for the first time in years. Naturally, HHH kicked out and went on to pin Booker after hitting a Pedigree and then watching the Hunger Games before covering him. But that€™s beside the point. The point is that the Harlem Hangover was in Booker€™s heyday a spectacular finisher, and it could very well be again today. Imagine a young superstar engaged in a battle where he€™s way over his head. His finisher has been kicked out of and he€™s running out of chances. He knocks his opponent down, heads up top and hits the Hangover for the win. It would pop the crowd and could be the type of finisher that helps someone climb the ranks. Either way it€™s a great move that is long overdue to make a comeback in WWE. Superstars who could use it: Xavier Woods, Tyson Kidd, Seth Rollins
