Not only Kane was performing Hurricanranas back in 2001, he also was adding moves like enzugiris, drop kicks, basement drop kicks and he even gave a kangaroo kick to Albert, this while also doing really awesome powerhouse things too like effortlessly body slamming the Big Show and chokeslamming Mark Henry Also, back when Kane first debuted, he used to have a weird signature that involved giving the opponent a suplex to the ropes and leaving them hanging on them to then proceed to perform a springboard clothesline (you can see this in his first match against Vader) Honestly the most underrated giant imo Edit: And I forgot to mention his legendary diving clothesline from the top of the steel cage, he performed it in his match against X-Pac in Armageddon 1999
Kane even hit a suicide dive on mankind in their hell in a cell match and a springboard crossbody to the outside to val venis and lance storm at WrestleMania 19 on the pre show
Honorable mentions: 1. Brainbustaaaaahhhh (Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania 40 Night 1 given that the move was banned by WWE) 2. Handspring elbow smash (Snooki at Wrestlemania 27)
He had excellent performers with him which help a lot but for a guy that never did wrestling amd probably nothing that compares to wrestling he did great in both matches, with guidance he did it amazing. That's probably why all the wrestlers give him props
Probably because practically everyone knew that before his initial run in the main roster back in 2002, he performed the move flawlessly multiple times in developmental. Thus it was more shocking that it was botched at Wrestlemania 19
I Remember Buying Fully Loaded 2000 On VHS And It Was Awesome The Steel Cage Match With Rikishi And Val Venis And That Huge Splash Off The Cage and JR On Commentary Made It All Better.
Big Show also did a standing dropkick before in one of the world war 3 matches which is even more impressive. Also shout out to Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow who did Moonsaults on the regular who were also huge dudes.
Big Show also used to do a Moonsault. And Brian Kendrick definitely did the Burning Hammer since he faced Ibushi and he knew Ibushi could take the move well
Seeing Hogan doing a little chain wrestling with his match against Bret Hart in the fall of 98 was wild. Yes its common knowledge now about his work in Japan in the early 80s and that he used to wrestle like that there but at the time the overwhelming majority of US wrestling fans(and especially 16 yr old me) had no clue about that.
For me, one move that was unexpected was Kelly Kelly doing a spear. During a 2vs1 handicap mixed tag match on Smackdown in 2011, Kelly Kelly and then Heavyweight champions Edge defended that latter's title against Dolph Ziggler and Laycool. During the climax of the match, Kelly would spear Layla to secure the victory and become the only woman in WWE to defend the world heavyweight championship.
Anyone shocked at The Big Show flying around or moving like a cruiser weight has never seen his early WCW matches. He is a HECK of a show! WWF/WWE didn't use him correctly but I get it.
Big show was absolutely incredible in his 20s dropkicks missile dropkicks nip ups thats why hes simply the greatest big man of all time ric flair said it himself
To be honest, I'm still shocked to this day that Braun Strowman performed an honest to God kip-up of all thing. I know Big Show used to do the same thing back in the day but still, Braun was something else.
I respect Big Show for, kinda, getting back in shape and working on his moves even as he aged. Anyone who works at improving themselves over their life has my respect. For whatever my respect is worth.
The way Big Show would do these moves, and also take people's finishers was always amazing to me. But honestly, what was amazing about that also literally held back his career. When you are a big man like that, part of your gimmick needs to be your size. As in, he's not your typical opponent. Therefore you MUST have a Plan B to beat him. He was so big, there was not a single finisher he could 'realistically' take at his size, and so he should never lose to a finisher. If he was going to lose, it should be because someone had to figure out another way to beat him. So him taking them, literally took the size out of his gimmick. Eventually fans really stopped caring about his size, when it's not going to be used at all to tell the in ring story. If a much smaller dude could throw him around, then his size means nothing to the match. He was generous to a fault. Which actually gave him a long career, because WWE loved him. But really held him back from being a total legend, if he had worked like a big man and really went for the 'larger than life' presentation. Also consider that any loss to a guy that size from a dude half his size should be a 'shock'. But he ended up losing way too often, and nobody was shocked anymore. It was like he put over everyone except Hornswoggle...at least I think he didn't put over Hornswoggle. If you are the size of everyone else, losing a few matches doesn't kill your momentum. When you are that size, fans stop taking you seriously. They should have made him mythical, where any losses were few, and all were total shocks or flukes so that every loss meant something huge.
That Sliced Bread #2 Bad Bunny did in one of his final clips looked like it almost ended in a scary way for him. Nice adjustment from both him and his opponent.
6:25 While still rare, I can tell the other instances he used the jumping tombstone. One was against John Cena on SmackDown 2004. The other was against Booker T on Judgment Day 2004. I'm not sure but I think he jumped on the third tombstone against Impostor Undertaker.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan was known as a brawler but watching him actually wrestling Ted DiBiase at Wrestlemania 4 was a sight to behold Hacksaw even did a sunset flip during the match .
Bad Bunny put in the work to do what he did when he was in the WWE. Pretty much any big man or giant that uses cruiserweight moves is a sight to behold!
Those Cena Punk matches are why CM Punk has an argument for being the goat. Dave Meltzer basically didnt give 5 star matches for an entire decade, its not like now where he gives several every month practically. Look it up, that MITB match was the first 5 star match he gave in like 9 years, and that aside, for a guy who fans cheered YOU CANT WRESTLE to, Cena was amazing in those matches. Actually, that Raw match was the best one, its an absolute classic. Those spots being unplanned makes them better, we now know that they both were fined for the piledriver, so hearing Coles reaction is awesome, knowing even he had no idea WTF was going on!
I think for a big show and Braun Strowman, the fact they were so close in size might’ve helped. If you think about it, they’re usually used to fighting guys who are much smaller, which makes chain wrestling really hard to do. Here even though they are much larger to the rest of us, they are at the same size for each other so they are fighting someone at equal size and strength. Which is probably not something they get to do very often.
Well, I always enjoy celebrities like Bob Barker, who understand how to play along with the story, someone like bad bunny is a rare treat. The only other guy I can think of who took it this seriously was Stephen Amell.
Big Show aka Paul Wright also could do a moonsault also. He did one on Nitro. I remember him talking about practicing at Hulk’s house on the diving board.
Those Hurricanranas by Cena and Kane looked like they both landed rough on their heads - definitely a reason they didn't do those moves often. Road doggs moon sault also over rotated a bit and looks like he landed awkwardly on his feet, probably fortunate to not blow out a knee or ankle, he probably thought once was enough for him after that.
Nobody talking about Val Venis willingly taking Rikishi's splash? Like "Yeah, good idea let's do that!" Either he has 100 percent faith in Rikishi as a perfect worker or he's just insane
When Rikishi was part of The Headshrinkers , as Fatu , he would often finish opponents with a splash off the top rope at that point Fatu was near 300 lbs.
One unexpected move was during the WrestleMania match between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar for the WWE title. Brock pulled out a shooting star press for the first (and probably only) time on the main roster. Vader as big as he was doing moonsaults was crazy.
Everybody railed on Cena for landing on his own head every time he landed that hurricanrana as a way to try to deflect the "you can't wrestle" chants. Kane was 7', so it was harder to avoid...
Big show doing high flying moves despite his size is nothing but impressive.
Apparently, he could do a moonsault too but Hulk Hogan said no apparently.
Yeah
@@AugustV3ryOwnHulk Hogan will lie about anything and everything. He probably said no to keep the Big Show from looking better than him.
@@AugustV3ryOwnThat doesn't work for me, brother.
His ability to take moves is much more impressive...him taking an F-5 is not all lesners strength
Big Show is freakin athlete by doing cruiserweight type moves
Not only Kane was performing Hurricanranas back in 2001, he also was adding moves like enzugiris, drop kicks, basement drop kicks and he even gave a kangaroo kick to Albert, this while also doing really awesome powerhouse things too like effortlessly body slamming the Big Show and chokeslamming Mark Henry
Also, back when Kane first debuted, he used to have a weird signature that involved giving the opponent a suplex to the ropes and leaving them hanging on them to then proceed to perform a springboard clothesline (you can see this in his first match against Vader)
Honestly the most underrated giant imo
Edit: And I forgot to mention his legendary diving clothesline from the top of the steel cage, he performed it in his match against X-Pac in Armageddon 1999
Kane even hit a suicide dive on mankind in their hell in a cell match and a springboard crossbody to the outside to val venis and lance storm at WrestleMania 19 on the pre show
Honorable mentions:
1. Brainbustaaaaahhhh (Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania 40 Night 1 given that the move was banned by WWE)
2. Handspring elbow smash (Snooki at Wrestlemania 27)
Bad Bunny has one of the cleanest Canadian destroyer I've ever seen. Props to John Morrison for that aswell.
Morrison carried the move but Bunny did make it look convincing.
Morrison is second only to Ziggler when it comes to selling moves
Bad Bunny had an excellent partner in Damian Priest, which certainly helped his performances.
He had an excellent partner in John Morrison, which certainly helped his performance
I honestly don’t see what a lot of others seen when Bad Bunny was in the ring. Didn’t think it was anything special even for a random celebrity.
He had excellent performers with him which help a lot but for a guy that never did wrestling amd probably nothing that compares to wrestling he did great in both matches, with guidance he did it amazing. That's probably why all the wrestlers give him props
I was shocked when Brock went for that shooting star press
I know. It was great. Surprised I didn't see it on this list
FACTS.
Probably because practically everyone knew that before his initial run in the main roster back in 2002, he performed the move flawlessly multiple times in developmental. Thus it was more shocking that it was botched at Wrestlemania 19
I remember seeing it, and thinking how Lesnar was so lucky that he didn't break his neck and became paralyzed in the process.
@@Randie89 he had a minor injury concussion but yeah he was lucky he did not break his neck and get paralyzed.
John Cena doing hurricarana was superb
Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks 2:15
Big Show gave pass to a torch to Braun Strowman
2:16 How did Road Dogg landed on one knee without getting injured?
John Cena having rare movesets proved he can wrestle in the ring
Of course he can he's been in wrestling for 20 years lol he's been in the Ring with some of the best Wrestlers in the Ring
He can wrestle,the people who says he can't are straight up blind and ignorant. It was WWE fault who wanted that he only do just 5 moves!
He had a tendency to always step out of his usual style in big matches. I think his work with AJ showed that he could hang.
Bunny destroyer
It was pretty clean too for who is, technically, an amateur in terms of pro wrestling
you shouldve had pat macafee doing the moonsalt in WAR GAMES
I Remember Buying Fully Loaded 2000 On VHS And It Was Awesome The Steel Cage Match With Rikishi And Val Venis And That Huge Splash Off The Cage and JR On Commentary Made It All Better.
Bad bunny is a good wrestler imo
i loved the look on priest face when bunny did the destroyer
Big Show is criminally underrated, for a man his size to do the moves he has done is rare to even non existent
John Cena doing a Hurricanrana...Never thought I'd ever see him doing one of those. 👨🏿💻
Shame the crowd upfront, was as nonreactive as when old Shelob hit frodo with her stinger. 😂
Seeing big men doing moves that you would see lightweights or cruiserweights would do is always absolutely mind blowing.
Big Show also did a standing dropkick before in one of the world war 3 matches which is even more impressive. Also shout out to Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow who did Moonsaults on the regular who were also huge dudes.
Bad Bunny easily improved wrestling skill
Big Show also used to do a Moonsault. And Brian Kendrick definitely did the Burning Hammer since he faced Ibushi and he knew Ibushi could take the move well
Also, Matt Riddle definitely landed on his head, shown here just as the narrator said AJ took measures to avoid it...
🤣🤣

Great video 😊 normally you inform which I enjoy but this effort totally entertained. Thanks Wrestlamia.
I Never Would have Thought That A Seven Foot Whale 🐋 Could Perform A Sunset Flip LOL😂😂😂😊❤😎👏🏼🤟🏻👍🏻👌🏼🔥💯
Now can YOU do a sunset flip?
@@superbaas8822 Maybe LOL 😆 😂 😅 🤣
Triple H doing Tigersuplex was rare
Don't forget that Undertaker did a Suicide Dive in HIAC or a steel cage match and Kane doing a missile dropkick
CM Punk protected Cena so much that it looked like a powerslam lol
Kane was athletic
Big show missile drop kicks from the top rope are insane. What a legend
For me, one move that was unexpected was Kelly Kelly doing a spear.
During a 2vs1 handicap mixed tag match on Smackdown in 2011, Kelly Kelly and then Heavyweight champions Edge defended that latter's title against Dolph Ziggler and Laycool.

Strowman with that kip up
Big show was absolutely incredible in his 20s dropkicks missile dropkicks nip ups thats why hes simply the greatest big man of all time ric flair said it himself
!This great history right here!
Rikishi splash move was rare
Big Show also randomly used the F5 as a finisher during Armageddon 2004, as far as I know he never did it again
To be honest, I'm still shocked to this day that Braun Strowman performed an honest to God kip-up of all thing. I know Big Show used to do the same thing back in the day but still, Braun was something else.
Undertaker is the master of Tombstone
Should do a top 10 of wrestlers using others finishers
Undertaker, delivering his first Hell's gate, was surprising for me.
I respect Big Show for, kinda, getting back in shape and working on his moves even as he aged. Anyone who works at improving themselves over their life has my respect. For whatever my respect is worth.
Braun Strowman was the first person to ever kick out of Big Show's KO punch.
Wrong it was sheamus strowman wasn’t even the second one to do it that would be Brock lesnar
Did anyone else notice that the title is wrong because it mentions 10 and in the beginning of the video it starts with 11
I genuinely jump off my chair whenever big show does a spear.
The way Big Show would do these moves, and also take people's finishers was always amazing to me. But honestly, what was amazing about that also literally held back his career.

Still amazing knowing Stone Cold wasn’t hurt worse after seeing how bad Owen botched that piledriver.
The burning hammer and the TKO look so good
It makes bad bunny look credible
Mad respect to Val Venis for talking that splash!😮
Big show doing that drop kick in wcw still to this day shocks me
That Sliced Bread #2 Bad Bunny did in one of his final clips looked like it almost ended in a scary way for him. Nice adjustment from both him and his opponent.
Cesaro's perfect 619 to Sheamus at Clash of Champions 2016 was a pleasant surprise
Kane and Big Show had an unexpected catch as catch can chain wrestling match on raw that stunned everyone, including JR
Both big show and khali were super impressive athletically when they were younger
6:25 While still rare, I can tell the other instances he used the jumping tombstone.
One was against John Cena on SmackDown 2004. The other was against Booker T on Judgment Day 2004. I'm not sure but I think he jumped on the third tombstone against Impostor Undertaker.
He also used it against Jinsei Shinzaki aka Hakushi in a rare match in Japan around 97-98
Hacksaw Jim Duggan was known as a brawler but watching him actually wrestling Ted DiBiase at Wrestlemania 4 was a sight to behold Hacksaw even did a sunset flip during the match .
The Rikishi Venus spot is my number 2 all time WTF moment after the Taker Mankind Hell in a Cell, blew my mind.

Pretty much any big man or giant that uses cruiserweight moves is a sight to behold!

Rikishi dive was one of the best things I seen him do
What a site it is to see big guys do cruiser weight moves.
Saying Big Show used to do kip-ups, then showing every clip of him grabbing the rope is hilarious.
Brock Lesnar's shooting star press was insane. Such athleticism. Should have earned a spot on here.
Read the vid title again.... UNEXPECTED moves. You expect that from Brock.
@@davidparkes7741 I didn't know it was expected. I only saw it once at WrestleMania
@@34For47he did it before he got on the main shows
wish taker did the spear more often, that was cool
2001 Kane was just different 🔥
Can you do a top 10 list of when a wrestler's music was moreover than the wrestler?..i.e Bobby rude.. Nakamura, Fandango
two iremember, Paul Wight as the giant dropkicking Meng at World War 3 and Jim Duggan busting out a sunset flip at wrestlemania 4
The balls on the big valbowski to take a splash off the top of a cage drom rikishi. Huge balls of steel on that man.
Punk and Cena is a treasure
Think they big guys will love working under triple H then vinny cuz triple h let’s them do what’s they good at is entertaining us fans
Undertaker also used the jumping Tombstone at SummerSlam 94 to defeat..... The Undertaker.
Giant's (Big Show) missile drop kick was in the n64 games!
Razor Ramon with a small package to pin Bob Backlund Wrestlemania 9 .
Braun + Bigshow chainwrestling reminds me of a young Owen and Bret Hart lol
I could've sworn the Great Khali did a corkscrew flip.
No video of Big Show’s moonsault?
We need to see Andre the Giant athleticism
Undertaker used the Jumping Tombstone on the Fake Undertaker at Summerslam 1994 way before he used on HBK
LA Knight has used the Burning Hammer a few times in matches as of late I wish he would make it his main finisher instead of the BFT
Looks like Road Dogg was lucky not to break one of his legs. Maybe that's why he never did it again lol
