1:03
to the wonderful folks over on R-Squared
1:05
Circle, whose post inspired this list that
1:07
you're watching right now, it's time to
1:10
name and shame those dreadful wrestling moves
1:12
that haven't just gotten worse with age.
1:14
They've generally been awful since the very
1:16
beginning. So I am Gareth, this is
1:19
What Culture Wrestling, and here are 10
1:21
terrible wrestling moves that have never looked
1:23
good. Rollins Pedigree
1:25
Just when you think you've seen all
1:27
Seth Rollins has to offer in between
1:30
those ropes, the visionary goes and throws
1:32
a majestic springboard-sent-on light and salt combination
1:34
out into the world. Look at that thing.
1:36
That's not to say that every single move
1:38
the former Shieldman opts to unleash on his
1:40
unfortunate opponents leaves fans in awe of the
1:42
star, though. One freaking attack most folks would
1:44
be glad to see the back of was
1:46
taken from Papa H after the game gave
1:49
the Raw Man his blessing to use it
1:51
as his finisher when the stomp was originally
1:53
banned. It's just a shame Rollins evidently didn't
1:55
bother to really study how Triple H managed
1:57
to make his emphatic pedigree look like such
1:59
a formulae. formidable weapon. Rather than holding
2:01
onto his opponents arms until the very last
2:03
moment, making the facebuster look that bit more
2:06
impactful, Rollins releases their limbs way too early,
2:08
and ends up resembling a drunken bloke accidentally
2:10
falling on top of a pal mid-playfight. With
2:12
all in there, he has at least largely
2:15
steered clear from using the disappointing version of
2:17
the pedigree as a finisher over the last
2:19
few years. But most wouldn't be that heartbroken
2:21
if he quietly retired it sooner rather than
2:24
later. 9. The Hanging Double Stomp
2:26
A move taking a bit of time to
2:28
successfully set up doesn't instantly make it a
2:30
terrible one. See Kenny Omega's terrific one-winged
2:32
angel. But while that dramatic slash complicated
2:35
finisher requiring a few seconds to effectively
2:37
execute, and the victim involved often being
2:39
too battered to wriggle out of it,
2:41
makes sense, the same cannot be said
2:43
for the routinely frustrating hanging double stomp.
2:46
Admittedly, the moment boot meets chest is
2:48
actually quite sickening more often than not,
2:50
but it's the visual of a rival
2:52
happily holding themselves up on the ropes
2:54
after apparently being beaten up and stupidly
2:57
waiting to be annihilated below that often
2:59
leaves hands utterly perplexed. Why would
3:01
you just perfectly position yourself often for what
3:03
feels like a lifetime to be obliterated by
3:05
your opponent as they calmly get their balance
3:07
on the top rope? It just looks silly,
3:10
doesn't it? Alberto Del Rio would regularly force
3:12
his dance partners to hang on in this
3:14
dumb position for an age during his WWE
3:16
run. But Andrade L. Idolo has also been
3:18
known to make wrestlers even as outstanding as
3:21
Bryan Danielson look like idiots as they await
3:23
an inevitable stomp in. 8.
3:25
The Rose Plant The role model evidently
3:27
boasts effortless charisma and an ability to
3:29
produce in-ring magic given the right story
3:31
and opponents, but one thing the mighty
3:33
Bayley has never really possessed is an
3:36
explosive or eye-catching finisher. After winning gold
3:38
on a number of occasions via her
3:40
rather unimpressive Bayley to Bayley suplex, the
3:42
former hugger decided to change things up
3:44
a little after her 2019 heel
3:46
turn. This was a golden opportunity to
3:48
really make an impact for a despicable
3:51
and punishing new weapon of destruction. So
3:53
what did Bayley land on for her
3:55
new finisher? The consistently disappointing Rose Plant,
3:57
while an arm-trap headlock driver may look
4:00
rather epic on paper, Bayley's version of the
4:02
manoeuvre always just winds up looking like a
4:04
messy and pretty weak facebuster. Some four years
4:06
on from its debut, the damage control star
4:08
is still trying to get the ugly looking
4:10
attack over with a crowd who continue to
4:12
struggle to find a reason to really react
4:14
to the limp conclusion in 2024. This
4:17
one should have been scrapped long ago, so I wanna
4:20
know what is your favourite Bayley match ever? We know
4:22
she's got some great ones out there so you let
4:24
me know in the comments section down below. 7.
4:27
Eddie Kingston's Machine Gun Shops The
4:29
repeated slaps to the chest known as
4:31
the Machine Gun Shops can't really be classed
4:33
as a collection of strikes that have never
4:35
once looked good. The undisputed king of the
4:38
rapid chops is obviously the great Kenta Kobashi,
4:40
with the Japanese star turning bludgeoning his rivals
4:42
with his many violent slaps into an art
4:44
form. Ilya Dragunov and Gunter have both been
4:47
known to let loose some pretty horrific rapid
4:49
fire chops from time to time too. But
4:51
not every wrestler has quite been able to
4:53
unleash a version of these attacks that makes
4:55
you truly wince in your seat. As painful
4:58
as it is to admit, Eddie Kingston's waves
5:00
of chops in particular rarely ever look like
5:02
anything more than a dude lightly spanking the
5:04
peck of his opponents repeatedly. The Mad King
5:06
may be a master of many strikes, but
5:08
the Machine Gun Shops just sadly aren't one
5:10
of them. That being said, if you need
5:12
a bloke to rip the skin off a
5:14
badder with just a one single backhand, the
5:16
Mad King is definitely a man. You
5:21
know, some people enjoy composing their
5:23
own music, chord by chord, and
5:25
others are happiest when they come across that
5:27

6:49
may vary. Number
6:53
six, the Tower of Doom. It has
6:55
come in many, many different shapes and
6:57
sizes over the years. But when was
6:59
the last time you properly popped over
7:01
the visual of multiple wrestlers tumbling to
7:03
the ground via Tower of Doom spots?
7:05
Now, sure, the first time you ever
7:07
witnessed various performers gradually join the inevitably
7:09
disastrous situation, you no doubt felt a
7:12
little bit excited about the possibility of
7:14
some seemingly unprecedented destruction. But ever since
7:16
that initial crash, just about any fan
7:18
taking in the action at home finds
7:20
themselves audibly groaning the second they spot
7:22
two performers, slowly trying to nail another
7:24
with a superplex. Performers have tried
7:26
to spice up the predictable multi-person wreck over
7:28
the years with War Games combos and the
7:31
wacky addition of even more bodies to the
7:33
equation. But the end result still takes way
7:35
too long to get to, and simply isn't
7:38
mind-blowing enough to justify the often quite uninspiring
7:40
set-up. Admittedly, the live crowd appear to regularly
7:42
get a kick out of the stale superplex
7:44
powerbomb at least. Those watching
7:46
at home, though, have likely just gotten
7:48
into the habit of fast-forwarding through the
7:51
unsurprising and always dull field destroyer. Here's
7:53

subscribe button down below. Number 5 – Suicide
7:59
Dives. Similarly to the aforementioned machine gun
8:01
shops, there are definitely some folks out there
8:04
who undoubtedly know how to nail their opponents
8:06
with a properly nasty an unstoppable dime to
8:08
the outside. A to be used Cash Wheeler
8:10
and Dhabi Allen both standouts has performers. You
8:12
have completely mastered the art of launching their
8:15
bodies at high speeds through the ropes in
8:17
a way that makes you truly believe their
8:19
opponents on Don't For the Last, a daredevil
8:21
in particular boasts a suicide die so devastating
8:24
that Cm Punk once admitted that everyone else
8:26
on the planet should probably give up on
8:28
the move as they'll never. Do it as
8:30
well as Allen unfortunately most didn't say punk.
8:33
His advice in the still producing various and
8:35
then jumps through the rogues to the outside.
8:37
are you so? Seth Rollins, Bryan Danielson, and
8:39
many more center understandably present themselves on their
8:42
opponents by slowing down at Social, reaching out
8:44
there roms before connecting with that target. for
8:46
that just makes the movie itself look like
8:48
anything, both a brutal aerial weapon. At the

8:53
first place, he began execute a high speed
8:55
suicide die got. Just don't want to risk
8:57
injuring yourself by doing so again. It's pretty
9:00
understandable. That he may be time to leave.
9:02
This wants to the Wheelers analysis of the
9:04
world. And before Cm Punk. Top Rope. Much
9:06
Oh Elbow. Ah, speaking of the best in
9:09
the world. After watching someone like the sensational
9:11
Kyrie Saying deliver her marvelous insane elbow opposite
9:13
of be wise for Cm Punk to follow
9:15
his own advice. Going forward to the idea
9:18
of paying tribute to the legendary much oh
9:20
man Randy Savage by adding his iconic Top
9:22
Rope elbowed see it silk. It was a
9:24
lovely thought. So the Voice of The Voices
9:27
has proven time after time that he is
9:29
a performer simply. not designed to soar off
9:31
the top on deliver a picture perfect elbow
9:33

over the years show like that time he

9:53
even then this macho tribute can hold a
9:55
candle to the magnificent elbows took saw by
9:57
the likes of shawn michaels on the great
9:59
service himself over the years, with Punk
10:01
actually even comically admitting that very fact
10:03
on X slash Twitter back in 2020.
10:07
Shane McMahon Shoot Punches When the money
10:09
arrives, the most unbelievable and surprisingly painful
10:11
punches in wrestling history are never too
10:14
far away. You see, MMA lover Shane
10:16
McMahon fancies himself a bit of a
10:18
shoot fighter. So rather than taking the
10:20
time to really practice and perfect a
10:22
collection of works, rights and lefts, that
10:24
look like they would leave a mark,
10:26
Jano simply opts to unleash often very
10:29
real shots that hilariously seem about as
10:31
violent as you do when attempting a bit
10:33
of shadow boxing in the bathroom mirror. Either
10:35
legitimately hurting his opponent or missing them by
10:37
a country mile, McMahon's Tyson Fury impression is
10:40
about as excruciating to watch as it often
10:42
is to be on the receiving end of.
10:45
It typically results in the person taking them,
10:47
resembling a civilian being attacked by a swarm
10:49
of beasts, too. But will that stop the
10:52
jabbing McMahon family member from floating like an
10:54
irritating butterfly when he inevitably dances back into
10:56
the squared circle somewhere down the road? Not
10:59
a chance. Skull
11:01
Crushing Finale As far as finales go,
11:03
they really don't come much more underwhelming
11:05
than the A-Lister's skull-crushing one. It may
11:08
sound pretty damn barbaric, but the reality
11:10
couldn't be further from the anything but
11:12
awesome truth. What could likely be a
11:14
quite savage full Nelson facebuster in the
11:16
hands of a performer who possessed an
11:18
ounce of dynamism or explosiveness has instead
11:20
become one of the least intimidating weapons
11:22
in the business. The wants of folks
11:24
genuinely believe Miz's opponents have just had
11:27
their skulls well and truly crushed by
11:29
the Lattlister Machender, with most noticeably
11:31
taking the annoyingly soft attack arm-first
11:33
after gradually being lowered to the
11:35
mat. To
11:38
call it an anticlimactic way to end
11:40
whatever battle the long-time WWE talent finds
11:42
himself squirming through would be an understatement.
11:44
But with the consistent heat generator now
11:46
approaching 15 years of skull-crushing
11:48
disappointment, it's safe to assume fans will
11:51
have to continue enduring this bland and
11:53
tame move until the two-time Grand Slam
11:55
winner eventually decides to call it a
11:57
day. The A-Town
11:59
Down Perhaps determined to take the crown
12:01
off Worst Finisher on WWE Television from
12:04
The Awesome One, often theory has spent
12:06
the last few years dragging many a
12:08
popular babyface right down to A-town. Everyone
12:10
from the legendary Rey Mysterio to Seth
12:12
Rollins, to the selling machine that his
12:14
Dolph Ziggler have all tried and failed
12:17
to make the latest Chosen Ones match-ender
12:19
feel like a dangerous act. There's just
12:21
no getting around the fact that the
12:23
former United States Champion's Fireman's Carrie Facebreaker
12:25
simultaneously doesn't look all that agonising and
12:27
feels needlessly convoluted. He's foolishly
12:29
allowing his opponents the chance to break
12:32
their fall with their knees as he
12:34
spins them out for the Facebreaker portion
12:36
of the move. The impact is evidently
12:38
lotened, and makes the person taking it
12:40
look rather weak after ultimately staying down
12:42
for the three count post A-town down.
12:45
CM Punk's GTS or Brock Lesnar's F5
12:47
are both superior alternatives to this terrible
12:49
thing caught somewhere in between both of
12:51
those iconic finishers. So a return to
12:53
pulverising opponents with his creative and much
12:55
more impactful Ataxia – a lifting reverse
12:58
STO – would definitely be preferred over
13:00
