10 Ridiculous Wrestling Moves (Non-Wrestling Fans Don't Get)

If you are a lifelong Wrestling fan like myself you will have, I am sure, on hundreds of occasions had to defend your love of the business.  The old..... "It's not FAKE! It's predetermined" argument springing to mind!!!  Anyway, we all have made our different arguments trying to explain why Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment is brilliant to a non-wrestling fan mate who bins you off telling you "It's for kids" etc.  However sometimes the thing we all love most is just impossible to defend to the non-wrestling fan!

With this in mind, here are 10 Ridiculous Wrestling Moves (Non-Wrestling Fans Don't Get) 


#10 Ric Flair Flop



I know this is not a move per se, but it is classic Ric Flair signature (which I adore) but show it to a mate who does not like wrestling, and you won't win your argument!


#9 Judas Effect

Controversial choice, but this just isn't a finisher for me!  Jericho has a much better arsenal to end a match with... and to be honest the first time I saw it I thought he was just ribbing the fans (wouldn't put it past him mind you).  Cue the AEW fanboy heat :)

#8 The Lightning Fist

Again, is this a rib on the fans?  It is if you ask me!


#7 Five Knuckle Shuffle


John Cena strikes again!  The best thing about this move is the name!


#6 The Slingshot



Whether it’s to the Turnbuckle/Post or under the Bottom Rope, this move just doesn’t make sense as it defys the laws of Physics.  Ask any kid who has ever sat on Seesaw and they will tell you it just wouldn't happen like that, ha!


#5 The Caterpillar/The Worm


Whether it's Otis' Caterpillar or Scotty 2 Hotty's Worm it doesn't matter, show either to a mate who doesn't watch the product & I guarantee you they'll respond with a "WTF?" & not in a good way!


#4 The Cobra

 

At least Mankind used Mr Socko for the devastating Mandible Claw, Santino’s Cobra Sock Puppet was nothing more than a goofy comedy spot.


#3 The Stinkface



Made famous by Rikishi basically rubbing his massive arse in his opponent’s face, however my most vivid memory is Pat Patterson performing it on Rikishi with skid marks on his undies and being referred to as "Poop Stain Patterson".  CHRIST!!!


#2 The Peoples Elbow



I know people are going to hate me for this, but just look at it!  He won matches with this, he won the WWE Championship with this FFS!  Just look at it....LOOK AT IT! 


#1 Anything with Joey Ryan's Penis

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love some of Joey Ryan's Penis spots, however this list isn't about things I like, this list is about moves that you ABSOLUTELY don't want your mates (who ALREADY think you are sad for still watching wrestling at 36 years of age ) to EVER see!!! 

Thus why all moves performed by Joey Ryan's manhood make Number 1 on this list!

The 15 Greatest Tag Team Finishers Ever

Image
Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would ...

The 8 Greatest Pro Wrestling Referees Ever

Image
The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un...

10 Crazy Moves Banned by WWE

Image
WWE prides itself on safety these days, but that wasn't always the case!  With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 classic wrestling maneuvers WWE has since banned their Superstars from performing! #10 Doomsday Device Finishing maneuver of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, where Hawk would perform a top rope clothesline knocking his opponent off his partner Animal's shoulders in the process.  It takes skill (mainly from the performer taking the bump) to avoid injury on the landing from the Doomsday Device, unfortunately a lot of enhancement talent in the 90's lacked said skill, thus the move was pretty much retired after LOD left the company, with the exception of the Dudley Boys performing it occasionally during their first run with WWE. #9 Piledriver The Piledriver was a devastating finisher/signature move right up to the mid 2000's in WWE, although it had become a watered down version by the end.  The move was made famous by the likes of Wi...
