What made the move even better was the pinning combination afterwards – Undertaker would just rest your hands on your chest as if you were in a coffin and wait for the three count. ![]() After all, how could anyone kick out of that? I cannot emphasize enough how cool this was as a child – it made the Undertaker look unstoppable. All of their weight lands directly on their head. And the Tombstone is one of the worst – the victim is held upside down so that their blood rushes into their head, before being driven straight down onto the ground. It’s because a botch will make the move just as dangerous as it looks. There’s a reason piledrivers are banned in the WWE now (with a few exceptions). The Tombstone Piledriver, even to a child, was the most brutal and impressive move in the world. And it wasn’t because of any of his accolades in the WWE, it wasn’t because of his Hell in a Cell matches, or anything else. Vishal: When I was a kid, before I started watching wrestling, I knew who the Undertaker was. With no signs of slowing down, Randy Orton and the RKO will continue to strike down many a wrestler with little to no remorse. The RKO is one of those rare wrestling moves that has transcended the wrestling scene and has since entered into pop culture. This has led to some incredible moments in Randy’s career including the infamous WrestleMania moment with Seth Rollins, RKOing WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix, and my personal favorite RKO deliver to Evan Bourne on a random episode of Raw. Much like a lightning-fast snake bite, Randy Orton can strike with the RKO in a similar fashion. Randy Orton has been known as The Viper for the majority of his career and this can be attributed to his serpent-like attributes in both his physical movements as well as the sadistic tendencies as a psychological character. The RKO has arguably become one of the most popular finishing moves in all of wrestling due to the unpredictability of it, however, the move goes much deeper than that. Shane: In my humble opinion, the best finishing moves are those that can seemingly be hit out of nowhere, and Randy Orton’s RKO is the definition of “out of nowhere.” One can only wonder where it’ll go from here. Its return felt both like a triumph and a defeat, as if Okada was ultimately unable to prove that he was more than just his finisher. The Rainmaker is such a strong storytelling device and such a great finisher that Okada not using it for a year was one of the most interesting and compelling choices for his character. There’s often more drama in Okada’s attempts to hit this finisher than the rest of a match – the setup of starting from behind and rotating into a ripcord move leaves a ton of room for his opponents to counter the move before it lands, because when it lands the match is almost always over. Every time Okada hits it, you think it could end the match. But everything about the Rainmaker, from the setup to how it’s sold, makes it feel incredible. And in 2021, nearly 9 years after the Rainmaker Shock, it’s hard to argue that any finisher has been used as well as that bombastic explosion as Kazuchika Okada’s Rainmaker. Each match tells a story from beginning to end, and finishers are the equivalent of the big bombastic climax. Vishal: Wrestling, at its core, is about the story. A simple definition of the move and nothing else.Best Moves for Strength and Fitness from MFF's Harold Gibbons If you believe that a move deserves to be higher then by all means comment on it. ![]() Lastly, if you believe I missed a move you think belongs in the list then comment it. There are a lot of sick people out there who wants to end a wrestler's career and most of them are in here. The list not only includes moves from WWE but also branches out from the indies up to Japan. Please do understand that the list only includes wrestling moves and no submission moves. These finishers need little selling from the opponent and it follows through to its name as a finisher. The moves are not only effective in a storyline match but can really hurt in real life. The following slides are the top 50 finishers that I believe are the most effective. The finisher is the most exciting moment in any match. A move that will grant the wrestler the win. I've been a huge wrestling fan since I can remember and what I always find exciting are the wrestler's finishers. ![]()
