I wouldve loved for Ric Flairs only successful top rope move to be during his final match with Shawn. It would've been awesome for the only time for it to work was his final match. But we all know that wasn't the case lol
Surprised HHH'S spinebuster didn't make the list. After the spinebuster came his primal lion growl taunt, and everyone knew it was time for the opponent to get their pedigree checked.
Man I miss the Powerbomb Facebuster counter they sadly took it out the 2K games for no reason. Also I wish X Pac used this counter since X Pac had the X Factor
I loved it when Paul Heyman would call Cesaro the King of Swing referring to his amazing strength and him getting such a simple move more over than ever and being the actual king of it because no one could do it better
I wish Cesaro would come back to wwe. He's someone I would actually enjoy to watch. Not those bling bling styled up fancy boys these days. I want ruthless aggression back! And for me Cesaro would have fit perfect in that era. I totally disagree with what Vince said about him. I think he's a million bucks. One if the greatest talents we have right now.
The same reason the 'People's Elbow' was a credible finish. Get the move over enough with the fans and you can do whatever you want for a finish without any questions asked. On the surface, of course a simple standing elbow drop wouldn't finish anybody, but The Rock earned the right to tell us it's a devastating finish so out of respect we see absolutely no reason to believe otherwise. If you look at other really famous finishes that you may not have questioned before and really break them down for what they are, barely any of the best make sense and a lot of the worst ones would be genuinely more effective. As a quick example, look at a "Zig Zag". Ziggles would win matches with the move, but if you think about it, not only is he taking the bigger bump of the two involved, but he's essentially giving himself a "Samoan Drop". There are much better examples of what I mean on that side of it, but I think the one I used is the least complicated to understand. On the other side of my point I'll use a finish, still very popular/over with the fans in terms of crowd participation, mimicking during pretending to have a match with friend, siblings etc, executed by a prominently lower-midcard/tag-team talent. I'd say I'm 99% sure in saying it had much more of a kick out to win ratio in favour of the former. I'm referring to the "WORM" made famous by 'Scotty Too Hotty' during both the attitude/ruthless aggression eras respectively. When you break that move down and remove all the pro wrestling theatrics and focus on the hit/strike itself only, it becomes one of the most believable finishes in the entire business. The easiest way to explain why is... Whilst The Rock's elbow is a less impartial variant of even the standard basic standing jumping elbow. Regardless, it has been used to pin plenty of not only the best workers of the same era, but the entire business of professional wrestling in its entirety. A kick out to the elbow has always been/will always be seen as a big deal. Nobody would bat an eyelid should someone kick out of the WORM, but think about it. The Elbow is an elbow to the chest area. The WORM (also works for the "Cobra") is a straight and powerful karate chop to a person's throat. Meaning as a shoot, barely if anybody would have what's left in themselves to kick out after that kind of hit. Does it make sense? Apologise for the novel... 😂
Notice how 99 percent of those in this list are legends. That's what's wrong with WWE today. The newer generation don't really know how to take bumps or sell moves hence why interest in WWE has kinda wained over the past few years Back then everything looked so real, I thought it was cos I was a kid but no, go back and watch old matches and you'll see what I'm talking about Wrestling is somewhat flat now and it's sad
I wonder if the WWE will go back and take out every single thing Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and Brock Lesnar has been in due to the lawsuit Janel Grant filed just like what they did with when Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son?
14:34 XD the face the rattlesnake makes... I can't tell if it's the face you make when caught with your hand in the cookie jar or when you see something exciting
Many have already said it in the comments here but I just want to have my turn in challenging absolutely anybody to find a cleaner moonsault than how Kurt Angle could do it.
Immediately seeing triple h and sledgehammer I immediately think of the very last clip where he breaks it over Vince in hell in a cell. My favorite sledgehammer spot and one of the most brutal looking forsure
I found it really cool that Drew started using the countdown close to New Year’s. When I first saw, I thought he was just doing it to reference the New Year’s countdown. 😂😂😂
Triple H loved that Sledgehammer more than Stephanie 😂😂😂
Well, he never held nor looked at Steph the same way he did his sledgehammer 😅
The sledgehammer gets to sleep in the bed with Triple H, while Stephanie has to go sleep on the couch instead 😂.
Well, she was the first kayfabe love of his life.
The best Big Show Knock out punch I've seen is R Truth doing it on himself
On Raw during that Brock Lesnar promo in 2020 😂😅
Big Show punch to dusty is still one of the most emotional segment to me
Imagine thinking you can powerbomb Billy Kidman?!! LMAO!!
9:56 ahhh so that's where The Rock's "uauuauuuauaua" came from. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
13:27 announcer: “hes got that bad back everyone knows about”
Ric flair:”gaaaauuhhhr”
I was thinking about that too. Perfect timing.
Kurt Angle’s moonsault had amazing execution.
Why couldn't the audience ever correctly count a swing rotation?
Bro who the hell came up with "Unidentified Flying Opponent"? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
14:32 Man, that sure does a bit pain to Shawn's back. Austin did cracked a giggle from Shawn selling 😂
Angle in my opinion, To this day has the best mounsalt in wrestling. Perfection.
I wouldve loved for Ric Flairs only successful top rope move to be during his final match with Shawn. It would've been awesome for the only time for it to work was his final match. But we all know that wasn't the case lol
Kurt Angle has the most beautiful Moonsault ever
Kurt Angle ought to rename that moonsault to the “Springfield Gorge.”
Surprised HHH'S spinebuster didn't make the list. After the spinebuster came his primal lion growl taunt, and everyone knew it was time for the opponent to get their pedigree checked.
C. M Punk needs a new sign... Where's the nearest Hospital?
I'll always love bryan's 'yes' and Eddie's thing
7:07 I always thought the Drew's countdown was a tribute to 3MB, I thought he said 3MB everytime he used claymore, lol
Man I miss the Powerbomb Facebuster counter they sadly took it out the 2K games for no reason. Also I wish X Pac used this counter since X Pac had the X Factor
You forgot HBK's sweet chin music
Angle had the best mounsalt in wrestling. Hands down.
Show renamed the punch WMD in 2012. Weapon of mass destruction.

With the turnbuckle bump one wrong slip up could end in disaster
How can a single leg drop kick finish a match where a regular drop kick does nothing
The same reason the 'People's Elbow' was a credible finish. Get the move over enough with the fans and you can do whatever you want for a finish without any questions asked. On the surface, of course a simple standing elbow drop wouldn't finish anybody, but The Rock earned the right to tell us it's a devastating finish so out of respect we see absolutely no reason to believe otherwise.

Wrestling is somewhat flat now and it's sad
That's one of the great things about AEW
HHH took the top rope bump in 2005 for Flair.
Cmpunk was never good. Cant change my mind
Finger poke of death.
If Trips is the King of King's, The Game, The Carebal Assassin.
Why did he need a Sledgehammer ?
Angle hit Holly on the wrist with the botched moonsault. Holly had to have an implanted in his wrist.
HBK & his corner Sweet Chin Music?
I wonder if the WWE will go back and take out every single thing Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and Brock Lesnar has been in due to the lawsuit Janel Grant filed just like what they did with when Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son?
Rolling German Supleaxes
The best moonsault imo is the Great Muta's .
Randy ortons RKO hype set up should be here
14:34 XD the face the rattlesnake makes... I can't tell if it's the face you make when caught with your hand in the cookie jar or when you see something exciting
How can you have this list without the rko
What does whatsell tushon mean in the intro?
It's actually "1,2, is this on?" and those are probably lyrics to an entrance song
@@ArnyWaryou’re wrong
That's bait
Many have already said it in the comments here but I just want to have my turn in challenging absolutely anybody to find a cleaner moonsault than how Kurt Angle could do it.
Well i thought Ric Flair's drop-fall would be there
i think it was already in a video
Part 1
Immediately seeing triple h and sledgehammer I immediately think of the very last clip where he breaks it over Vince in hell in a cell. My favorite sledgehammer spot and one of the most brutal looking forsure
You can literally see Stone Cold wince and then smile because of how hard Sean took that corner bump
angle has the best moonsault
ric flair consistent climbing top rope is emotional
I found it really cool that Drew started using the countdown close to New Year’s. When I first saw, I thought he was just doing it to reference the New Year’s countdown. 😂😂😂
No one can do a better moonwalk than Kurt Angle 🐐🐐🐐
No crowd pop for GTS. i think you're just a big punk fan
Can we jist apreciate cesaros strength
How there is no Randy Orton viper iconic taunt in this list 😢
sheamus’ apron chops
How's the undertakers taunt before the tombstone not on here?
Previous video
i always wait this video out
I genuinely hate the claymore countdown. The whole crowd chants. How do his opponents not counter?!
Also how do you mention the sledgehammer and NOT the way he got it out from under the ring!!
Imagine not putting tuning up the band in this..
Punk stole HHH's pedigree and Kenta's GTS. He owes those men money.
where is romans spear
I'm cringing at watching Drew slap his thigh every kick.
