The Rock's Sharpshooter. It's a move that didn't suit him at all. He never did it properly either and was always too far up the ankles which made it look less impactful. It always annoyed me that as soon as he locked it in he'd scream with his eyes shut So cringe, it looked like he was the one in pain. |

The one he does to Lesnar at Summerslam 2002 is by far the worst too. He’s basically sitting on Brock’s legs with the only bend in Brock’s whole body being at the knee. It looks like he’s literally just sitting on Brock’s back and holding his legs.
Even as a younger follow at the time, me and my brothers were watching that and gong…that looks like it doesn’t hurt at all.

Edge: Spear - His spear was a joke and always looked like he was hugging his opponent when performing the move. It didn’t help that he was doing it the same time Goldberg and Rhyno were performing some of the best spears ever. Plus, his slender frame doesn’t help either. He’s almost like a literal spear! Same when Christian does it too. Ultimate Warrior’s big splash seemed a bit lame for someone who did high impact power moves and wasn’t over 350 pounds, although now I look at it as more of an exclamation mark for the beatdown he’s just given. It was an exclamation on the Gorilla Press. |

Majority of the time he did though. Obviously he wasn't Gorilla Pressing Andre and certain guys but he never did the Gorilla Press without following up with the splash.

The splash would also serve as a way to catch guys off guard as a very reasonable finish. Hogan was the top guy finishing people with a leg drop so a 300 pound guy jumping on you wasn’t out of the ordinary for me as a kid. I never questioned it, those guys looked heavy

Petey Williams' Canadian Destroyer. Innovative move but even if you know the recipient is assisting him with the move, its kind of hard to believe a 180 lb guy could flip over and drop wrestlers 50+ lbs heavier on their heads like that. Oddly as well, most of the wrestlers using this move are cruiserweight guys.

You know what though, I never minded it in TNA because most of the guys he was wrestling at the time in the X Division, were around his size. It made sense there, it’s when everyone started doing it on much larger men, that it made no sense. |
