top ten finishing moves in divinity
history before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos we’ll be looking at the most
impactful exciting finishers used by
wrestlers under the banner of World
Wrestling Entertainment
our main focus for today is going to be
how iconic they are so sorry if we
didn’t include quite so many recent ones
number ten curb stomp the move
prominently used by Seth Rollins has a
notorious reputation the curb stomp was
previously banned due to its problematic
name and visual brutality reportedly
Vince McMahon didn’t believe the move
was something they wanted a main event
star like Rollins to use given the
company’s history with concussions and
whatnot thankfully they recently brought
the finish of back and it’s being used
by Seth Rollins once again so get ready
to see a whole lot more faces stomped
into the ground
number 9 pedigree the pedigree a
kneeling double underhook face Buster
has been utilized mainly by the game but
also helped earn our boy Rollins a few
victories – yet the face buster has a
long and storied history in wrestling
and the pedigree is most likely one of
the most recognizable iterations it’s
been used to put down the likes of the
rock Stone Cold Steve Austin and
countless others over the years and used
by two of the most prominent wrestlers
of their time cementing the finisher as
one of the all-time greats number eight
Styles Clash AJ Styles is finishing
maneuver is a belly-to-back inverted mat
slam known as the Styles Clash but you
already knew that though not created by
Styles the move was popularized by his
use and the act of moving his legs
around the opponent’s arms to secure a
pin was a touch added by AJ the move can
be more dangerous than many typical
wrestling moves
while most moves require wrestlers to
tuck their chins down the Styles Clash
requires them to move the head
back otherwise you’re in for an
excruciating and dangerous neck injury
the move has such a unique look and
impactful use that it’s one of the most
well protected finishers in wrestling
today
number seven figure four leglock a
classic submission move that harkens to
an older style of wrestling than
commonly seen today the figure-four
leglock was popularly used by many
prominent wrestlers including Ric Flair
Dusty Rhodes Shawn Michaels and AJ
Styles Charlotte Flair also has her own
altered version known as the
figure-eight leg lock though we’re not
really sure if that hand stand actually
adds more pressure looks cool though
right the submission consists of
wrapping the opponent’s legs around your
own and applying leverage and can be
used to submit an opponent or win
through pinfall if one is able to get
their opponent’s shoulders on the mats
the grappling move is a golden standard
for submission holds and remain so to
this day number six spear the spear is a
devastating tackle known for its high
impact and ability to come suddenly
which isn’t usually something you’d be
proud of used by the likes of edge
Goldberg Batista Bobby Lashley and Roman
reigns the spear has historically been a
fairly well protected finisher unless
your brock lesnar the ease of setup for
the move can often lead to high octane
crowd pleasing moments that are able to
end matches in the blink of an eye the
charging shoulder block is a
quintessential wrestling move iconically
seen in use by some of the biggest and
best brawlers in the WB to a great
amount of success number 5 rock bottom
the rock is without a doubt one of the
most successful and popular wrestlers of
all time despite the popularity of the
people’s elbow
we believe that rock bottom is his
superior finisher the side powerslam is
bombastic loud and fits Rocky’s
wrestling persona to a tee a larger than
life figure deserves a larger-than-life
finisher and the rock seems to agree
even opting to use the rock button
during a scene in Furious 7 we’re hoping
that we’ll see the iconic move put to
use in a WV ring once a
can someday despite the Dwayne’s
Hollywood star schedule number for RKO
Randy Orton’s jumping cutter known as
the RKO has gained worldwide attention
as a meme hopefully that doesn’t detract
from your views on the finisher as it
still stands up as a devastating move
used by the Viper similar to the spear
in its ability to be used out of nowhere
the RKO carries a significant amount of
impact when performed writes Orton has
become so associated with the maneuver
that it is almost impossible to see him
without picturing it in his long
intended career we’ve seen the RKO
performed countless times but it still
stands tall as one of our favorite
finishes number three Sweet Chin Music
Shawn Michaels is legendary superkick
perfectly displays the showmanship and
over-the-top theatrics of wrestling
throughout his long and incredibly
successful career Michaels has tuned up
the band and driven audiences world with
what is if you really break it down an
incredibly simple move a high kick right
to the opponent’s chin the other use of
the leg slap to make the kick signature
sound of contact takes the impact to
another level there are a few things
throughout wrestling as satisfying as
witnessing a perfectly executed super
kick delivered by the Heartbreak Kid
Shawn Michaels
number two Tombstone Piledriver The
Undertaker’s legendary finisher used to
drop opponents directly onto their heads
the use of the piledriver is burned
throughout much of the wrestling
industry though few in the WV are given
permission to use the move including the
Phenom the added fee attrex delivered by
the Undertaker along with the very real
possibility of danger make the Tombstone
one of the most intimidating moves in
wrestling the other taker usually
delivers the maneuver without any issues
though with the reputation of the
Undertaker as a legend his finisher is
one of the most highly regarded in the
company even sad a number one Stone Cold
Stunner the Texas rat snakes finisher is
the greatest anti-authority symbol used
in wrestling the move technically
sit out for a quarter facelock
jawbreaker was used by Steve Austin
throughout his career in some of the
most memorable and famous moments in
wrestling history the site of Vincent
man taking a Stone Cold Stunner from
Steve Austin is one of the most
satisfying and iconic moments of the
entire Attitude Era
Austin is still incredibly popular with
fans today inspiring countless shits and
crowd chants and this signature finisher
is often used by other wrestlers as a
tribute to the retired legend do you
