Cool video.

Darn, why is Jericho's unification of the WCW and WWF titles not in here?

[monsta316]

how they managed to miss the original ecw from the evolution of pro wrestling ill never understand???

@MrK623 How are "piledriver" and "figure four leglock" on this list? Both are legit moves. Esp. the piledriver! You must love low budget indy wrestling where finishers take 16 seconds to set up due to the excessive flipping and spinning.

I like the old stomp everything move.

@Rayla840 no, i am pretty sure cena knows four moves three of which are over dramatic finishers: the stf, the attitude adjustment (now wwe is PG so hey can't call it FU anymore) and the five knuckle shuffle wich is signaled by u /c me.it is pretty much the same idea as peoples elbow and MVP's Ballin but the whole thing take like twenty seconds

[Rayla840]

@Nertrender Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure last time I watched, he did an STF and/or an FU (the flip thing off his shoulders). Now The Rock....he did The Peoples Elbow as a finisher. Maybe you're thinking of him.....

[Nertrender]

@Rayla840 no the "U Can't C Me" is the lead in. when he punches someone in the face it is called the five knuckle shuffle. and that is his finisher

[Rayla840]

@Nertrender Well, he said finishing move. The shuffle thing isn't a finisher. Just a lame ass lead in move he does.

That Stone Cold vs Bret Hart Wrestlemania 13 match is still my favorite match ever.
