Handsome Bob

#25 - RKO
#24 - Camel Clutch
#23 - Twist of Fate
#22 - Crossface Chicken Wing
#21 - Macho Man Elbow Drop
#20 - FU
#19 - Total Elimination
#18 - Stratusfaction
#17 - Shooting Star Press
#16 - Million Dollar Dream
#15 - Rude Awakening
#14 - Van Terminator
#13 - Razor's Edge
#12 - Frog Splash (they highlight Eddie's)
#11 - Swanton Bomb

Not bad, especially considering that WWE Magazine did something similar last year and had the FU at No.1! The only problem I have is that the RKO should be higher than 25.

Was "Total Elimination" ever used in WWE? And if so, by whom?

callaway92

Mandible Claw shouldnt be on that list. And where is 619/West Coast Pop??

mehfesto2

No Leg Drop from Hogan or People's Elbow there, thankfully!

I don't think you can beat a good ol' Piledriver. Watching the old matches on Sky you realise how dangerous, but impressive they were. The 'sit-down' version is particularly lethal looking!

Not on the list thankfully. Its a pathetic little move and awfully contrived (as wrestling finsihers go).

Technically, no. On the website they are giving the credit to Saturn and Kronus, The Eliminators, from ECW.

I laughed at what they said about Savage-

"Before the "Macho Madness" and his horrible rap album - yes, we said rap album - Randy Savage delighted crowds as one of WWE's brightest stars of the 80s. His finisher, the Elbow Drop, was poetry in motion from the time he hit the turnbuckle, bringing "Macho Man" two WWE title reigns. Alas, nothing could save Savage from his biggest rival - himself. Dig it?"

brick tamland

I can't believe " The Worm " isn't on this list. top 3 IMO:D

Bubs101

Ridiculous, the People's Elbow and the Atomic Leg Drop of Doom should at least be in the list if not in the top three. Can anybody here honestly say that they preffered watching the rock deliver a rock bottom over "The Most Electrifying Move in Sports Entertainment Today".

Goldberg's Jacknife should be there and the elbow drop should be in the top 10

rovert

Lack of Jake Roberts DDT makes this list a FAIL

Jackhammer!

Ham'nd'egger

No Doomsday device (LOD), Demolition Decapitation, Powerbomb or Superplex (revolutionary moves for years) or Angle Slam on the list either.

Actually yes, as 1) The Peoples elbow was a joke, 2) it never actually finished a match and 3) it looked f*cking stupid.

I never liked it.

Rovert?

Missing the Goldberg combo, 3D, Angle Slam, F5 and Nash's Jacknife.

I believe Benoit has only been mentioned once on WWE.com since and it was a poll along the lines of the best match in Raw history (I think) and him and Angles cage match was leading that poll until WWE edited the results. And any way if the Angle Lock and Walls of Jericho are left out, I'd say the Crossface wouldn't have been included anyway.

DRakE

Crossface is a million buys.



(did i use that right rovert?)

Rubbish the Walls of Jericho is not on the same level as those two. If the corssface wasnt is so great then why have HHH & HBK decided to reclaim it? The move has still value child killing aside.

Machismo Fan

True and yeah the Walls is just a glorified Boston Crab but the Crossface was never going to be included.

I never said it would. But if all things being equal it would be.

All guys who work for TNA or an MMA company :pac: Maybe just a coincidence

Bounty Hunter

Chokeslam not included either, tis a piss poor list tbh although I dont agree with a lot of the missing moves people have suggested

Thats a top move to be fair. Looks awesome and can be hit out of nearly anywhere

Bubs101

They left out the best finisher in the whole history of the company, shattered dreams. No man would get up in 3 seconds from that, not even Warrior

The origional wasn't

Machismo Fan

That would be the Liontamer where he didn't step all the way over and put his knee in their back, normally having them at an angle, sometimes even on the head. They are different moves, the Walls is a Boston Crab.

No, seriously, It was generally used as a setup for the the Rock Bottom. Peoples elbow was generally always kicked out of... probably because it sucked.

The Rock winning the WWF title from Triple H at Backlash using the peoples elbow:

Generally how I remember it was that as time wore on and as the Rock became more established it became less of a setup for the Rock Bottom and in fact The Rocks spinebuster became a set up for the peoples elbow.

ShawnRaven

PROOVED!
It still sucked though.

No DDT or Snukas splash?

The Walls is executed in an almost standing position and has it's victims legs almost straight and with the feet held higher compared to a Boston Crab; it is almost a move of it's own accord as opposed to an adaption.

thats the way it used to be.....but since he has come back the walls is just a boston crab! plain as!

chopperbyrne

The Lion Tamer was the elevated Boston Crab with the knee to the back.

The Walls of Jericho was an elevated Boston Crab and more often than not it wasn't even elevated.

Since his come back, he has started to use the Lion Tamer again.

grames_bond

no ankle lock is what annoys me! never mind that the bias mnay be because kurt is over on tna, i always prefered the ken shamrock one! looked like he put more effort into it!

I think it was used one night when ECW invaded raw back in about 96 or 97. It's the sweep, spin-kick combo thing right? If so, they did it on raw.

I'd replace the FU with the F-5, man that always looked good.
