WWE: Rating the funniest signature moves of all time
What's the story
WWE represents the sport of professional wrestling, with some scripted gimmicks in it. In order to attract fans, every superstar usually comes up with a signature or finishing move. While most of them seem deadly and lethal, some are so weird that there is always a debate as to how did they qualify. In the same light, here we rank the funniest signature moves.
Stink Face
The Stink Face from Rikishi
Rikishi is one of the legendary wrestlers in WWE to date, and being a Hall of Famer rightfully proves it. Despite being oversized, he was athletic as a wrestler, but his finishing move was one of the weirdest. Called The Stink Face, it involved rubbing his backside on the face of his opponents, while they were down and out, sitting at the turnbuckle.
Cobra
The Cobra from Santino Marella
Cobras are known to be one of the most venomous snake species on the planet. But, it wasn't known that they could be lethal in WWE, until Santino Marella brought it along. While it was not a real Cobra, but his finishing move, which involved posing his fist as the Cobra and striking on opponents' neck or chest, as they immediately collapsed.
Mr. Socko
Mr. Socko from Mick Foley
Mick Foley too is a familiar name in WWE and a Hall of Famer. While he had multiple gimmicks, he had one finishing move, known as Mr. Socko. The move involved wearing a sock in his hand, shaped like Foley's face and putting the same fist in the mouth of his opponents as they choked and collapsed to the ground.
The Worm
The Worm from Sotty 2 Hotty
Scotty 2 Hotty was one of the funniest superstars. On the same note, it was his finishing move which too was one of the weirdest. Called The Worm, after slamming his opponent on the ground, Scotty hopped on a leg, following which he would roll on the floor like a caterpillar, swing his hands to deliver a throat chop. Not sure how that worked.
People's Elbow
The People's Elbow from The Rock
The Rock is probably the greatest wrestler in WWE. While he might have been a great in-ring performer, his finishing move was ordinary. Called The People's Elbow, the move involved slamming his opponent in the middle of the ring as he removed his elbow pad, came off the rope a couple of times and delivered an elbow on the throat. Did that even hurt?
