Can You Match The Wrestler To The Signature Move?

Professional wrestling is one of the most niche concepts in the world. It’s a bizarre hybrid of live action, theatre, television drama (not always the good kind) and stunt work. It’s basically choreographed violence involving clearly distinguishable characters.

If you’re new to wrestling and you watch a pro wrestling match, there will be a few things that will draw you to one wrestler or another. How a wrestler looks, how they speak, what they’re fighting for, and the moves they use, all influence how a fan will react to that wrestler.

But arguably the most important thing in a wrestler’s arsenal is their finisher, i.e. the move they use the most and the one they use to end a match. Each wrestler needs an easily-identifiable finisher that separates them from their peers, while also being interesting enough for fans to react when it’s used.

Some wrestlers are noted for using crazy throws, slams or suplexes as their finishers to that they can show off their strength and technique. Other wrestlers go down a simpler route and use powerful-looking strike attacks to prove that they can hit hard. Others still use submission holds to make their opponents tap out in what ends up being a classic test of endurance and refusal to submit.

Whatever the case, a wrestler needs a strong finisher to be successful. This quiz is dedicated to some of the best finishers seen in pro wrestling, and it’ll be up to you to name the move and figure out which wrestler it’s associated with.

Are you up to the challenge?

Question 1

Name this move: Steve Austin’s Stone Cold __________

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin is widely considered to be the single most financially-successful wrestler of all time. Thanks to his character becoming an extension of the real person’s own personality, and the storyline that pitted him rebelling against the evil corporate boss Mr. McMahon, WWE was able to win the Monday Night Wars and defeat their archrival WCW once and for all. One of the reasons Austin was so popular was because he had a finisher that he could execute on any one, regardless of size, and made any segment he was in so much more enjoyable.

Question 2

Name this finisher: The __________ Elbow.

By the dawn of the new millennium, The Rock had solidified himself as one of the top stars of the WWE. Although he was supposed to be booed at first, his unique promos and comedic way of mocking his opponents made him into a surefire babyface in short order. That said, Rocky was much more of a showman than he was a traditional grappler. This can be seen with the finishing move seen here, which was obviously one of those ‘flashier’ moves and wasn’t always the most practical.

Question 3

Name this finisher: The Undertaker’s _________ Piledriver

The Undertaker has been in WWE since 1990, and has been an awesome character since then. Although his character has evolved and changed significantly over time, there have been a few constants that have remained the same since his debut. One of those things has been his primary and most recognizable finisher, which involved him picking his opponents up and then dropping them head-first onto the mat with a move that’s technically called a Reverse Piledriver, although the Undertaker gave it a different name to fit with his mortician-like character.

Question 4

Triple H’s Pedigree finisher is technically called a Double Underhook ___________.

Triple H is one of the most recognizable wrestlers in modern times. He has been a central figure in WWE for more or less twenty years and has been involved in many of the most memorable matches and feuds in the company’s history over the years. One of his most striking features as a wrestler has been his finisher, called the Pedigree, a move that involves him hooking his opponent’s arms and then driving them face-first into the canvas. It’s as devastating a finisher as any.

Question 5

What was the name of Mick Foley/Mankind’s clawhold finisher?

Mick Foley is one of the few people in WWE worthy of being described as a legend. The man is famous for his pain tolerance and endurance, as seen with his now-famous Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker from twenty years ago. He was also a masterful character worker, capable of transitioning between three different characters that he played around the same time while in WWE. He’s also famous for having a unique finisher that involved putting his glove-covered fingers (which was later replaced with a hand wrapped in a dirty sock), and sticking that in his opponent’s mouth.

Question 6

Which of the following two wrestlers became the most famous users of the move called the Sharpshooter?

The sharpshooter is one of the most famous submission holds in wrestling. First innovated by Japanese wrestler Riki Choshu, the move involves the user stepping through a downed opponent’s legs before wrapping the victim’s legs around the users, before the user twists over and (supposedly) applies pressure onto the victim’s legs and back. Although the move might look absolutely vicious, several wrestlers have noted that it doesn’t hurt as much as it looks. Although it was invented by a Japanese wrestler, the Sharpshooter has achieved significantly more use and notoriety in North America, especially by its two most prolific users, both of whom are now considered true legends in pro wrestling.

Question 7

What is the name of the finisher being executed here?

This move isn’t seen in North America as much as it’s seen in Japanese wrestling promotions. That’s because this move has a high chance of going wrong and requires absolutely perfect timing. One small mistake and you risk breaking you opponent’s neck. After all, the premise of this move does involve picking someone up until they’re upside down and then dropping them down to the mat head-first. The reason it’s more prevalent in Japan is because wrestlers there won’t wrestle on such a frequent basis, and thus don’t run the risk of performing exhausted and thus risking injuring themselves or others.

Question 8

What is the name of this submission hold?

The move seen here is one of the most famous submission holds in wrestling history. Although its most famous user was ‘the Nature Boy’ Ric Flair, many wrestlers all over the world have used it as well, either as a tribute to him or because it looked like a genuinely painful leglock. One such person to tribute the move is Flair’s own daughter Charlotte, seen here. However, Charlotte adds her own twist to the traditional move by adding a bridge which – supposedly – adds more pressure onto her opponent.

Question 9

Name this finisher: Hulk Hogan’s _______ Leg Drop

Hulk Hogan is widely regarded as the most iconic wrestler of all time. His run at the top of the then-WWF is considered the first golden age of pro wrestling and brought the sport to a new level of pop culture relevance. As an in-ring performer, Hogan was more known for his charisma than for actual grappling ability. In fact, his main finisher was an ordinary leg drop that didn’t look particularly impressive, especially when compared to the moves used by his compatriots at the time.

Question 10

What three letters make up the name of Randy Orton’s finisher?

Randy Orton has long been one of WWE’s most popular wrestlers. Despite spending most of his career as a heel (bad guy), Orton achieved a surprising level of success as a babyface (good guy) despite not technically being one. This surge in popularity came from a surge in internet vines showing Orton superimposed into online videos with him ‘executing’ his finisher onto people as they fell. This went with his gimmick at the time, which was that he could execute his finisher completely out of nowhere.

Question 11

What is the name of Rikishi's most famous signature move?

Rikishi comes from wrestling royalty: he is a member of the famous Anoa’I wrestling family, which birthed many famous wrestlers including The Wild Samoans, Roman Reigns, Yokozuna and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Although he never achieved the same level of success as many of his fellow Samoans, Rikishi became one of the most famous wrestlers in WWE during the Attitude Era and into the early 2000s. The main reasons for this was Rikishi’s involvement with the dancing group Too Cool, which received unexpectedly loud reactions during their height in popularity

Question 12

What is the name of the finisher being executed here?

The move seen here is one of the most dangerous suplex variations in all of wrestling. The reason for this danger is because the user wraps his arms around his opponents, so that the victim can’t use their arms to break their fall when they land. As a result, the user absorbs all of the damage on their shoulders and neck, which makes this move far more dangerous. In fact, it has been seen far more in Japan than in North America because the style in Japan allows for such riskier moves far more than the American style does.

Question 13

What does Sheamus call his signature kick attack?

Sheamus was a controversial figure from the moment he debuted on RAW back in 2009. His monstrous initial push and relatively quick main-event ascent was believed to have stemmed both from his look and his friendship with Triple H (they were alleged to have been workout buddies at the time). During his main-event run, Sheamus changed his main finisher several times in order to find something that worked. Ultimately, he settled on a running Bicycle Kick, which he gave a name with an Irish theme (like he did with all of his most important moves).

Question 14

What is the name of the finishing move seen here?

Sasha Banks is considered to be one of the central figures in the transition in WWE known as the ‘Women’s Revolution’. Banks’s idol in wrestling was Eddy Guerrero, and thus she sought to make a legacy for herself as a female version of the Latino legend. To that end, Banks became famous for being an outstanding wrestler inside the ring who used a wide variety of different moves throughout her matches. Her main finisher is the submission hold seen here, which she has used to win several high-profile matches.

Question 15

What name did Seth Rollins give to his new knee attack finisher?

Seth Rollins has had a challenging time in coming up with a proper finisher over the past few years. For the longest time he used a variation of the Curb Stomp, which was banned by WWE until recently due to the fear that it could be emulated by impressionable children that watch WWE. While that move was banned, Rollins tried a bunch of different moves as finishers, with one of these being a modified Knee Attack following a wrist-clutch. Eagle-eyed fans will notice that Rollins basically uses the same move that Kenny Omega from NJPW uses on a regular basis as well.

Question 16

Which of the following moves do the Young Bucks use as a finisher?

The Young Bucks are widely considered to be the best tag team active today. Their personalities are supposed to be tongue-in-cheek mockeries of pro wrestling’s inherent secrets and concepts, and their matches are often mocked by some fans for being too ‘spotty’, meaning that those matches involve too many flashy moments at the expense of wrestling-based storytelling. Yet while they do get their fair share of criticism, the Young Bucks are nonetheless among the most popular and successful tag teams to have never worked for WWE as a duo.

Question 17

What is the name of Roman Reigns’ main wrestling finisher?

Roman Reigns has been a magnet for controversy over the past few years. Many believed his main-event ascent is being forced by WWE’s power-brokers, and that he isn’t deserving of such a push, especially due to what many perceive to be an inferior level of wrestling skill. In fact, his main finisher is one of the most overused moves in all of wrestling: the Spear, which has been used on and off by a multitude of top stars in WWE going all the way back to the days of Goldberg.

Question 18

What is the name of Christopher Daniels’ finisher?

One of Christopher Daniels’ nicknames is ‘king of the indies’, which is a reflection of his work all over the independent wrestling scene. Daniels was once considered a lock for one of the new aces of TNA with his strong grappling skill and incredible aerial skills. Unfortunately, backstage politics prevented him from rising beyond TNA’s mid-card despite being one of the brand’s best wrestlers. Among his arsenal of impressive moves was a kind of ‘lifting Pedigree’ that always looked great whenever he used it.

Question 19

Name this finishing move: The _________ Bomb

The move seen here is widely considered to be the most dangerous move in all of pro wrestling history. Invented by accident, it is basically a Powerbomb dropped into a piledriver. But there’s a difference between a regular piledriver and this move, as the victim has at least some degree of protection with a standard one. This move’s victim is basically in free fall and lands square on their head and neck with barely any protection whatsoever. How the wrestlers that took this move didn’t end up crippled or severely injured the moment they took it is a testament to those wrestlers’ toughness.

Question 20

What was The Road Warriors’ primary finisher called?

The Road Warriors, also called the Legion of Doom, were one of the most iconic tag teams in wrestling. With their badass face paint, spiked shoulder pads, and awesome metal music, they looked truly intimidating as they walked down to the ring together. To further prove how great they were as a tag team, their main finish was a combination move that saw one of them lift their opponent onto their shoulders while the other ascended the top rope and did a diving clothesline onto that same opponent. This move has been emulated many times over the years as a tribute to this legendary team.

Question 21

What was the name of Goldberg’s finisher?

Goldberg was one of the hottest wrestling stars during the late 1990s. While “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was running roughshod over WWE in his never-ending war with Vince McMahon, Goldberg was demolishing his opponents in short squash matches with his vicious power moves. His main finisher was a devastating display of power: a vertical suplex transitioned into a Powerslam. Goldberg managed to execute this move on wrestlers big and small, and even once performed it on the monstrous Giant (Big Show).

Question 22

What was the name of Jimmy Snuka’s diving finisher?

Jimmy Snuka was widely considered to be one of the most famous pioneers in wrestling history. He wasn’t the same kind of traditional grappler as many of his compatriots at the time, but made up for this by being incredibly agile and quick in the ring (and above it). He proved just how agile he was with his finisher, which was a diving splash from the top rope. Although such a move would be considered boring by today’s standards, it was a beautiful and jaw-dropping move when Snuka did this move during the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Question 23

What is the name of Kazuchika Okada’s main finisher?

Kazuchika Okada is widely considered to be one of pro wrestling’s biggest success stories as well as one of its most radical transformations. Prior to 2012, he was a forgettable nobody that lacked a distinct character and was constantly being described as ‘bland’. Then, after a terrible run in TNA, NJPW’s bookers did a complete reversal with him. He went from being just another guy on the roster to an arrogant rich guy that knew he was better than you. Soon, his confidence as a character translated into greater confidence in the ring, which eventually translated into him becoming one of the best wrestlers alive today.

Question 24

Name this finishing move: The Go To ________.

By the mid-2000s, there were very few moves left to be created, as a lot of the most iconic moves had already been created and adopted by other wrestlers. This was especially challenging for smaller wrestlers like KENTA and CM Punk, who couldn’t rely on big moves and lifting-based moves as much because they were so much smaller. So KENTA managed to come up with something unique: he combined a standard fireman’s carry lift and added a stiff knee lift. Thus, this vicious move – which was made famous in North America by CM Punk – was born.

Question 25

Name this finishing move: Shawn Michaels’ _________________.

Many people consider Shawn Michaels to be the greatest wrestler in the world, or at least in WWE. In fact, WWE did their own ranking and named Shawn Michaels as the greatest in-ring performer in WWE history. Though he certainly wasn’t the biggest, he was easily one of if not the most dynamic performers in WWE history. Yet despite that dynamism, his main finisher was a straightforward Superkick, which he gave a special name to make it align more with the character he portrayed.

Question 26

Name this finisher: ______________ Powerbomb.

Diesel, a.k.a. Kevin Nash, is something of a controversial figure in wrestling history. To some people, he is the best example of a shrewd businessman who saw wrestling as a source of money above all else and used his influence in different companies to his advantage. To others, Nash is noted for being one of the worst-drawing champions in WWE history and one of the least-impressive wrestlers from an in-ring perspective. A big part of this latter argument was that Diesel/Nash only used a small handful of moves on a regular basis, including the type of Powerbomb finisher seen here.

Question 27

What was the name of Razor Ramon/Scott Hall’s Finisher?

During the 1990s, Scott Hall was one of the most important and influential wrestlers in the world. In WWE, he performed under the gimmick of Razor Ramon, which was influenced to some degree by the Scarface character. Not only was the character’s overall presence captivating and his promos interesting, but he had a devastating finisher as well. It’s technically called a Crucifix Powerbomb, which comes from the fact that the victim is lifted up in such a way that makes them look like a person that’s being crucified.

Question 28

What was the name of Eddy Guerrero’s signature trio of suplexes?

Eddie Guerrero was one of the most inspirational and beloved WWE superstars during his prime. His story of personal struggle and redemption touched many hearts, and his WWE Championship victory was one of the most heart-warming moments in WWE history. Guerrero was always known for being an excellent in-ring wrestler and a versatile performer. Although his main finisher was a Frog Splash that he used in tribute to former partner Art Barr, one of his signature/set-up moves for this finisher was a trio of Vertical Suplexes that he used right before ascending to the top rope.

Question 29

Name this finishing move: The ________________ Press.

The move seen here was created by cruiserweight legend Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger all the way back in 1987. The move involves the user doing a diving forward backflip onto their opponents, which is incredibly hard to do, even for the most experienced of wrestling veterans. Many wrestlers have emulated Liger’s finisher over the years, with varying degrees of success. If done incorrectly, it risks hurting the user as well, as they need to rotate fully so that they don’t land on the mat head-first and risk suffering a concussion or something much worse than that.

Question 30

What is the name of Jeff Hardy’s diving finisher?

Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular wrestlers of the past two decades. There was something about him that made people cheer him whenever he was on screen. Some way it was his unusual attire and appearance, or maybe it was his daredevil approach to wrestling. Whatever the reason, Jeff Hardy was immensely popular and enjoyed main-event-level success that no one expected of him. One of the reasons for his popularity was his main finisher (seen here) which looked dazzling when executed.

Question 31

Which wrestler invented the Phoenix Splash?

The Phoenix Splash is one of the most impressive and difficult maneuvers to execute in pro wrestling. Not only does the user have to perform a standard 450° splash from the top rope – which it itself an extremely difficult move – but they must also perform a 180° turn in mid-air before executing that finishing sequence. In other words, a wrestler has to have the diving ability of a professional pool diver to pull off this move perfectly with all of the spins and twists that are done in less than three seconds while also in the air.

Question 32

What was the name of Goldust’s signature move?

Goldust has made a career out of being controversial. His original character rubbed many people the wrong way for its androgynous appearance and perverted personality. Because of this, people wanted to see him beaten and defeated by his opponents. The Goldust character was never meant to be taken seriously as a grappler, as seen with the more comedic moves he used as finishers. One of these moves involved him placing his opponents in the corner, spreading their legs and kicking the turnbuckle that was situated directly beneath that wrestler’s groin.

Question 33

Which striking move is the signature striking attack of Cesaro?

Some wrestlers have one finisher that they always use in a match, while others use a secondary one on rare occasion to keep things fresh. Then there are those wrestlers who can also be identified by their strike attacks that they do better than anyone else. For example, in All Japan, Misawa executed elbow strikes better than anyone else, Kobashi was the best with chops, Kawada was the best with kicks, and so forth. In WWE, Cesaro falls into this category, executing one type of strike attack better than anyone else.

Question 34

What is the name of Bray Wyatt’s finisher?

Bray Wyatt is one of WWE’s most interesting cases. On one hand, he’s a unique character with an unusual magnetism about him that makes him captivating. On the other hand, he has been the victim of awful booking and character progression over the years. Despite looking pretty cool and having a devastating-looking finisher, Wyatt has lost far more than he has won, and as a result has left many people apathetic to him since they now feel that he’s all bark and not bite in terms of what he says and what he does in the ring.

Question 35

What was the name of the Hart Foundation’s tag team finisher?

The Hart Foundation was one of the most popular and successful tag teams in WWE history. Despite their noticeable difference in size, Bret Hart and Jim ‘the Anvil’ Neidhart managed to work incredibly well together as a team as they played off each other’s strengths and weaknesses. A prime example of this teamwork at play came through their tag team finisher, which involved Bret running at an opponent that Neidhart held up, before doing a double-team slam that left their opponents staring at the ceiling.

Question 36

Rey Mysterio’s finisher is called The _____.

Rey Mysterio has been a fan favorite for many years. Despite being one of the smallest wrestlers to ever set foot in a WWE ring, Mysterio has found immense success wherever he has gone. This is because he is an absolute daredevil in the ring (and above it) with his myriad of impressive aerial maneuvers. His main finisher is technically called a Tiger Feint Kick, which involves him diving through the ring ropes and kicking his opponent in the face in a stunning display of control and technique.

Question 37

Brock Lesnar’s signature gimmick is that he takes people to ‘Suplex City’. Which type of Suplex does he use most?

Brock Lesnar’s pro wrestling career can be divided into two distinct parts: his first run from 2002-2004 and his second run which has been from 2012 to the present. During his first run, Lesnar used a lot of different moves to show that he could be versatile in the ring. But during his second, more recent run, Lesnar narrowed down his move-set to a handful of signature moves and finishers. One of his favorite moves appears to be one particular type of Suplex that he executes far more often than any other variation.

Question 38

What was the name of Finn Balor’s finisher before he came to WWE?

Before he became the ace of NXT and a regular fixture of Monday Night RAW, Finn Balor wrestled for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) under the name Prince Devitt. Devitt was a major force in NJPW for a multitude of reasons: he became the ace of NJPW’s junior heavyweight division and stayed in that role for many years. He popularized a wide variety of finishers and signature moves, some of which have been copied by his successors and friends in the wrestling business. But most importantly, it was Devitt that first put together the entity that would eventually become known as the Bullet Club.

Question 39

Which of the following is NOT the name of one of Chris Jericho’s signature or finishing moves?

Chris Jericho is one of the most accomplished wrestlers still active. He has been wrestling for almost thirty years and has wrestled all over the world (including a short stint as the masked Super Lyger). Jericho has managed to stay relevant for so many years, and has always found ways to adapt in one way or another. His most recent high-profile rivalry in wrestling was against NJPW mainstay Kenny Omega, which became so interesting and was so well-hyped that it ended up being billed as a co-main event of NJPW’ Wrestle Kingdom event.

Question 40

John Cena’s finisher is called the ___________ Adjustment.

John Cena has been WWE’s poster child for over a decade. Not only has he shown incredible dedication to WWE through his hard work and commitment to his character, but he has also shown incredible strength and toughness. For many years, his go-to finisher was a move that at once looks both impressive and weak. To finish off his opponents, Cena hoists them onto his shoulders – even the massive ones like Big Show and Viscera – and then drops them onto their backs, which looks impressive sometimes but less so on other occasions.

Question 41

Name this finishing move: Samoa Joe’s __________ Buster

Samoa Joe is one of the fiercest wrestlers active today. Not only has he trained extensively in Muay Thay, but he is also an excellent grappler with a wide variety of dangerous moves in his arsenal. One of his main moves is the one seen here, which is both visually-stunning and extremely dangerous. Though it isn’t as dangerous as the Japanese version – which involved the person taking the move being dropped straight down with their neck on the user’s shoulder – it can still go wrong if done incorrectly, as seen with Tyson Kidd’s career-ending injury.

Question 42

Name this finishing move: Kurt Angle’s Olympic ________

Kurt Angle is considered to be the best in-ring worker in the business. Not only is he a true amateur wrestling champion - having won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin’ neck – but he transitioned from amateur wrestling to pro wrestling far more quickly than anyone had anticipated. Within less than a year of his debut, he was wrestling as if he had been a pro all his life. One of the things that made him so good was that he had a unique finisher that looked completely different from all the others being used at the time, which is seen in this image.

Question 43

Name this finishing move: The Great Muta’s Shining __________.

Keiji Mutoh, better known as the Great Muta, is one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. A true legend, he was one of the greatest masters of ring psychology and non-verbal storytelling. He was also one of the most innovative figures in wrestling as well, creating and popularizing several moves that are now widespread in the wrestling business. One of those moves is the one seen here, which he created in 2001 after spending years ruining his knees performing diving Moonsaults onto his opponents.

Question 44

Name this finishing move: The ______ Thunder Bomb

The finishing move seen here has had a lot of use since it was invented in Japan during the 1990s. Although most people might recognize it as a variation of the move John Cena uses as a set up for his ridiculous ‘5 Knuckle Shuffle’, the move’s most prolific user at this time is actually Sami Zayn, who has used it throughout his tenure in WWE. Although it was mainly a signature move for the most part, it has since become his main finishing move instead of the ‘Helluva Kick’ he used previously.

Question 45

What was the name of CM Punk’s signature submission hold?

CM Punk was always a controversial character in pro wrestling. He was known for rubbing people the wrong way and having an incredibly high view of himself that some people interpreted as arrogance. But there was one thing that one couldn’t deny about Punk: he was an outstanding wrestler once the bell rang. He was incredibly dynamic in the ring and used a wide variety of moves to end his matches. One of those was a painful-looking submission hold that looked like it could knock you out in seconds if used outside of a pro wrestling context.

Question 46

Name this finishing move: The Burning __________

The maneuver seen here is one of the most visually-impressive and dangerous moves in wrestling. Invented by Japanese wrestling legend Kenta Kobashi, the move involved picking up your opponent onto your shoulders before dropping them sideways so that they fall onto their head/neck/upper shoulders. Because of the inherent danger involved in this move, Kobashi himself only used the move seven times in a nine-year period, and prior to the moves shocking WWE debut during the Cruiserweight Classic, no one ever thought it would ever be seen in a WWE ring.

Question 47

Name this finishing move: The Undertaker’s Hell’s_______ submission hold

The Undertaker is the symbol of longevity in pro wrestling. Despite having spent over 25 years in WWE alone, the Undertaker has managed to stay relevant and fresh throughout the years, never really getting stale. A major reason for this was because the Undertaker’s character and in-ring moves changed over time. Although he was infamous for being relatively immobile during his early years, he changed significantly over time. This included adopting a lot of moves unexpected for a man of his size, including an impressive over-the-ropes diving attack and many MMA-inspired moves, including the submission hold seen here.

Question 48

Who invented the diving head-butt?

The Diving head-butt has become one of the most infamous moves in wrestling. Not only does it risk causing concussions to both the user and the recipient, but it also risks causing spinal damage to the user because they execute a swan dive and risk jarring their spine with each execution of the move. This has made this a dangerous move and has caused considerable damage to the bodies of several of its most famous users, including the Dynamite Kid, Chris Benoit and Daniel Bryan.

Question 49

What was the name of Mr. Perfect’s finisher?

“Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig earned his nickname because virtually every single thing he did was perfect. He could hit a hole in one in golf with a single swing, he could throw a basketball backwards and sink it without the ball even hitting the backboard, and he could wrestle at a higher level than everyone else. Even the WWE’s writers and commentators – who are known for being more about ‘entertainment’ than traditional wrestling – couldn’t help but praise him for his incredible in-ring abilities.

Question 50

What is the name of the finisher being executed here?

The wrestling move seen here has been used as finisher by many top wrestlers over the years. The technical name for it is a Full Nelson Suplex, where the user flips their opponent backwards after locking their arms in a Full Nelson hold. As you can imagine, moves like this are far more dangerous because of the landing angle. The wrestler taking the move can’t take the move flat on their back or onto their shoulders because of the arm positioning, which means that they have to take the bulk of the impact on their neck.
