2 Cold Scorpio invented the aerial attack. You climb unto a raised platform or top rope and jump, completing a 450-degree turn (1 and a quarter revolutions) and end in a splash on your opponent. More recent users of the move include Juventud Guerrera, Paul London, Austin Aries.
14. Unprettier
Christian's move is an inverted double underhook facebuster. If you don't know what it is, just picture an inverted Pedigree of sorts. The opponent actually ends up behind the wrestler before they are driven face first into the mat.
13. Tombstone Piledriver
The Undertaker and later his "brother" Kane popularized this belly-to-belly piledriver. Unless you've been under a rock, you've seen the move done by the Phenom or the Big Red Machine.
12. The Widow's Peak
Yes, a move done by a female wrestler. This just goes to prove how talented Victoria is and why she deserves to be in the title picture. The move is a variation of Gory Guerrero's Gory Driver. No other woman in the ring has a move as deadly as Victoria's in my opinion.
11. Muscle Buster
Samoa Joe may be underutilized in TNA, but that does not mean that his move is overlooked. Joe does the double leg hook brainbuster to incapacitate his opponents.
10. F-5
Brock Lesnar dominated the scene with his deadly maneuver. Its a fireman's carry facebuster where Lesnar's victims are tossed and land face first on the mat.
If the name sounds familiar, it is taken from the scale used for rating tornadoes. A F-5 tornado is the strongest kind.
9. "Stone Cold" Stunner
Kick to the stomach, grab opponent's neck, drop down causing opponent's neck to slam into your shoulder blade, give obligatory middle fingers, Jim Ross goes hysterical.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin's patented move got the masses on their feet, especially when he applied it to the boss, Vince McMahon.
Austin probably learned the move from Mikey Whipwreck from his days in ECW but more people know Austin than Whipwreck, so here we are.
8. Burning Hammer
If you've never heard of it or seen it, go and YouTube Kenta Kobashi. The move is just sick. It is an inverted Death Valley Driver popularized by the Japanese wrestler who actually won The Wrestling Observer's Best Wrestling Maneuver in 1998. A man who has been in 23 5-Star Matches and six Matches of the Year, deserves to have a spot on this list for his move.
