Standard moves that we barely see in WWE anymore

Good call on the test of strength, used to be a decent way to start a match. Does anybody use the spine buster anymore beside Triple H? Another one is the atomic drop.

I think I've seen Karl Anderson and maybe? a few others use it, very rare now a days though

Ahhhh frickin' LOVED Hart's atomic drop. Lawler was the best to sell it.

That's exactly who I had in mind when I wrote it I guess of these are too outdated or silly looking.

As mentioned, very few body slams which is odd to me. Very few power slams as well. Doesn't seem like there are too many power bombs either. Also very rarely see guys pressed overhead anymore.

Yeah I recall Ryback and Cesaro being the only ones who do stuff like body slams or Military Presses, I actually miss those.

 

[BonMorrison]

Powerslam is a good one, only ever see Orton do it now (granted, his is absolutely beautiful).

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Karl Anderson, Scott Dawson off the top of my head.

 

[Kimi]

Crews does one.

You've got powerbombs as finishers from Owens and Crews, Reigns and Bubba have none finisher ones.

 

[bruins309]

You don't see a biiiiiiiiig back body drop anymore.

 

[Kimi]

Ziggler sometimes makes use of it, but I don't think he's actually finished a match with it.

 

[Kimi]

Karl Anderson, Scott Dawson off the top of my head.

Ryback used to do one too.

Ryback actually did most the moves listed here really.

 

[Ozz]

 

[Emperoreddy]

Back breakers. Atomic drops. Elbow drops.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Ziggler sometimes makes use of it, but I don't think he's actually finished a match with it.

He won the US title from Kofi with it at the greatest show ever, Capitol Punishment.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Goldust does it too.

 

[offkilter]

eye rake?

 

[Fro]

Bobby Roode's is one of the best in the business

 

[M.C.G. 31]

And Samoa Joe.
