WWE Summerslam Match Card: The Top 5 Moves You'll Never See in the WWE

What's not to love about a good finisher?

The execution, the form, the technique, the impact—that's why we call them effective finishers and that's why we in the professional wrestling world love talking about which finishers are the best ever.

There are a lot of effective finishers, but some of the most insane finishers—or unique finishers—in the world of pro wrestling are the ones you won't find in the big leagues.

The WWE has had Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press, Matt "Evan Bourne" Sydal's Shooting Star Press, and of course, they've had the likes of Paul London, Ultimo Dragon, Juventud Guerrera, Super Crazy and others who were athletic enough to deliver some major moments.

They've also seen the F-5, Sabu and Tazz on more occasions than one, while TNA has seen cage-walk Frankensteiners, leaps of faith across the Ultimate X and Abyss getting put through about a quarter of what someone from FMW in Japan went through. But what you're about to see are the moves that you're least likely to see by some wrestlers—all but a few of which you probably may not have heard of outside of the WWE circle.

Tonight's SummerSlam promises the same thing every other year promises: that we're all going to see something none of us have ever seen before. And in commemoration of the things they'll do that they haven't shown us yet, here now are the five moves that may never be done in "The E."

(It's been a while since I've done a wrestling thing, so bear with me here.)

Hall of Fame: "The Primetimesteiner"

All you need to do is watch this, and watch Elix Skipper's landing of this move.

Now it's mostly the cage-walk that you likely will never see anyone doing in the WWE, but I suppose they've done well enough over the past few decades that they never needed to go for the crazy spots whenever guys put on matches.

It probably also helps that Vince McMahon hasn't been big on guys like Skipper, nor anyone that hasn't been a marketable commodity inside the ring. McMahon found other ways to put on some good programming without having every match turn out like Undertaker-Mankind bout at the 1998 WWE King Of The Ring.

Still...we can dream, can't we?

5. Any Version of the Piledriver, Besides the Tombstone

To this day, wrestlers need special permission to perform (i.e., they need to prove they can expertly execute) the piledriver.

We all know the Stone Cold-Owen Hart thing, and we all know Austin was on his way to getting the push that would see him as WWE Champion anyway.

Owen Hart made a mistake and landed the Tombstone by dropping the way the piledriver normally is done instead of dropping to his knees, like one is supposed to do for a Tombstone.

Henceforth, this list would feature nothing but variations of the piledriver if this had been a top 10 or a top 25.

Insert any variant of the piledriver that you wish: Kevin Steen's Package Piledriver, Petey Williams' Canadian Destroyer, Jerry Lynn's Cradle Piledriver. Name yourself one version of the piledriver, and it's unlikely that you'll see it unless the wrestler clears it by WWE management.

You hear that, Trevor Murdoch?

Do it right, or don't do it at all.

4. "The 630"

So in other words, we're not likely to see Evan Jackson, or whatever name the WWE would give to Jack Evans if he ever signed with "The E."

Although CM Punk uses the Go To Sleep, and that hurts like hell, and yet he's facing John Cena tonight, so maybe Evans could stay unburied long enough by WWE Management to actually use the move without later being forced to job all the way through Mania.

Yes, he used it in TNA, and pulled it off beautifully, but let's be honest:

TNA showcased Low Ki, AJ Styles, Elix Skipper, Christopher Daniels, most of the ROH Alumni except Nigel McGuiness and lots of former WWE talent.

Plus, they created Ultimate X, so should it really surprise anyone that a 630 happened in TNA?

Plus, they hired Jerrelle Clark...there you go.

3. The Pepsi Plunge

Until CM Punk and Triple H retire, the top-rope pedigree will not be seen in the WWE.

Yes, it's devastating, and if you haven't seen the Pedigree done from the top turnbuckle, it probably is pretty cool to you (I know it is to me). But until Triple H OKs it or until he's through with active participation in any aspect of pro wrestling, the move is still another way of performing Triple H's Pedigree.

Seriously, are any of you hardcore "I was a Punk fan before ROH even picked him up" fans of the man surprised when he used the Anaconda Vice and then the GTS instead of this?

Not me, and I only knew of the Pepsi Plunge because of the run Punk had in MLW.

2. Any Variant of the Shooting Star Press

The best example of this is PAC because he's crazy with his Shooting Star moves.

The senton he pulls, as well as the corkscrew—it all comes from the Shooting Star leap he pulls off, and he also manages to get some wicked air in doing so.

The likely reason why you wouldn't be seeing stuff like this is because of Evan Bourne—not that he strikes me as the guy who would complain about other guys using his move or a version of it, but because the WWE isn't too big on guys using the same move.

Then again, there's always an exception to that when it comes to moves like this.

1. The Double-Rotation Moonsault

Just watch this move and then you'll get a good idea of why you will probably never see this move in the WWE.

You think Vince McMahon would let a guy try to pull this off without breaking his neck on the mat?

Me neither...unless he signs Ricochet, but I doubt even Triple H would.
