Standard moves that we barely see in WWE anymore

[Kimi]

Goldust does it too.

Goldust does it the best.

 

[Petrouth]

The moss-covered 3-handled family credunza

Haven't seen a Saskatchewan spinning nerve hold in awhile either

 

[Fro]

reverse arm bar

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

The moss-covered 3-handled family credunza

That was Saturn's finisher

 

[Pinkfloyd]

That was Saturn's finisher

I believe Tyson Kidd was the last person to successfully do that move. lol

However, for this thread I would not call that move a standard move. A lot of the chain wrestling moves that used to be pretty standard have fallen off in recent years. The inverted atomic drop...the atomic drop. Fireman's carry isn't used much. The pinching of the nerve on someone's shoulder. lol

Sidewalk slam

 

[Pinkfloyd]

The old slamming of the head into the turnbuckle doesn't happen much anymore.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

The old slamming of the head into the turnbuckle doesn't happen much anymore.

That's true what the hell


It's all because of Shea Weber man...

 

[Reality Check]

The back rake.





This was seriously one of Hogan's top moves in the 80's.

 

[Ozz]

The old slamming of the head into the turnbuckle doesn't happen much anymore.

That's how I learned to count to 10 as a kid

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The old slamming of the head into the turnbuckle doesn't happen much anymore.

It's funny this was mentioned since that's how Ziggler won last night haha

 

[BonMorrison]

My god, what a stupid move the back rake is.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

It's funny this was mentioned since that's how Ziggler won last night haha

Yeah but what a cheater he was doing that. lol

I was actually referring mostly to the ten count head smash. But even just the standard single one used to be a staple for a lot of workers before they bought WCW roughly.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Does anyone even use a russian leg sweep anymore?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Don't see seated piledrivers anymore but for good reason.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Does anyone even use a russian leg sweep anymore?

Sandow does.

 

[Guardian17]

The Claw.

 

[Paris in Flames]

You know, I'm just not seeing a lot of Superkicks these days.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

The Claw.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Definitely don't think we see shoulder claws much anymore, or the variant where you grab your wrist "to tighten the hold". OSW called it something. Claw that going magnum or something.

Stalled vertical suplexes (outside of Cesaro sometimes). Test of strength. Don't see shooting star presses much (I remember Neville doing it in NXT, but did he bring that up with him?)

 

[Guardian17]

Sidewalk Slam

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sidewalk Slam

I think BNB was the last guy to do a variation of it. The Winds of Change, I think?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Most moves going out of style to me are either dangerous moves being phased out or moves that only make sense in kayfabe and not a shoot fight sense.

 

[Ozz]

Getto Blaster, although it became a normal move over time and not a finisher (as many do). Take a look at this video with some great selling by his opponents:

 

[AfroThunder396]

Sidewalk Slam

Corbin's Deep Six is a variation of this, right?

Although I have to say Barrett's was the best I've seen.
