I love Shane… dude had a lock on a huge inheritance always knowing that, seeing his matches w Big Show etc… the dude legit wanted to prove he wasn’t just a spoiled brat.
"El Diamante Dominicano" and also the infamous Jose Gonzalez "El Invader #1" both used "El puño al corazón" as their finisher for most of their careers during the 90's and 2000's
Tony Nese does the macho man neck snap constantly and how can the powerplex be in this list when you mention FTR do it. Same with chair headshots and choking as we see them in AEW still all the time
Ox Baker perfected gimmicking the Heart Punch. He had a full bloomed story of killing other wrestlers with the Punch. My dream is that Tony Khan has Nick Comarado take up the whole gimmick claiming Anthony Ogogo taught Nick the Punch.
Stop calling it the “cOaSt 2 CoAsT” and stop giving credit to Shane ‘O Mac for the maneuver. Its the VanTerminator created by Rob Van Dam in ECW in his fued against Scotty Anton way before Shane ever did it.
Ah, The Meltdown. It was basically like a pump handle slam into an Oklahoma slam/power slam. Looked effective for an otherwise basic combination of moves.
I haven't seen a well executed doink style stump puller in years. It genuinely looks like it hurts, you can be extra fancy and do a cloverleaf varient (a la Justin liger) or roll it over into a pin if they don't tap.
Lots of these moves are still being used. Ilja Dragunov regularly does "coast to coast" in NXT matches. Do the people of WhatCulture even watch wrestling?
Same, but as Simon said, health is more important. What really gets me is how the wrestling games now look as if the game characters are "selling", instead of actually getting hit/hurt. I like the original games, where it looked like every move was legit. It's fine to protect people in real life, but why are we protecting "people" that are nothing but 1s and 0s? 😂
Dominick actually does the top rope neck snap 💯 as a 3rd generation luchador I perform it as well, with gods blessing hopefully one day I can perform the move in the WWE in a few years !
Considering how much Hogan bragged about having the largest arms in the world (aka his "24 inch pythons") It's a wonder that he used the leg drop as a finisher.
FACTS but darby said in a interview that the bumps he takes while skateboarding or doing some crazy stuff outside of wrestling hurts more than the bumps he takes in wrestling so yeah darby’s whole body is going to be HURTING when he gets old.
Just rewatched SummerSlam 1992 Savage vs Warrior &when Savage did the top-rope neck break I screamed out-loud it was all-time. It's insane no one has stolen that or tried to put a twist on it
Fun astronomy facts for Simon: Earth's distance from the Sun changes by about three million miles during the course of a year, between 91 and 94 million miles. At that distance, the Sun's light takes eight minutes to reach Earth's surface; if you followed the energy from one fusion event in the Sun's core until it reached the surface and escaped as a photon, it took about 170,000 years to get here. The Sun's core is fantastically dense, even denser than Jim Herd when he thought Ric Flair wasn't a draw.
I realized I'm old when everyone I know remembers Lanny as the Genius and I was the only one that remembers him as Leapin' Lanny Poffo. Because I didn't grow up on only WWF in the 80's. I watched it. But I was watching NWA territory wrestling first.
ACtually to my knowledge the last wrestler to use the heart punch was Swoll. in 1999 in WCW during his very breif tag team run with Brad Armstrong as part of Master P's no limit soldiers faction.
I'm sorry but when you consider the fact that Mr. Mcmahon tore his quads, Triple h tore his quads, and now Shane, at this point you got to wonder if it's some kind of curse towards the men of the McMahon family or if it'll eventually come for the women too 🤣
I feel like we don't see the flying headbutt off the top rope anymore. If I had to venture a guess why, it's probably because of what happened to one of the greatest ever to use it; decades of head trauma and a horrible end to theirs (and their family's) lives. :(
Hogan's leg drop always gets top billing, likely justified for sheer volume if no other reason, but Bobby Eaton's top rope leg drop is one of those that, if you saw it now, you would immediately know the user will probably have much shorter career than they otherwise might.
Another point on the heart punch is if you time is just wrong, and you actually hit the chest in front of the heart, you can put the heart into arythmia and effectively give the receiver a heart attack.
Was the tombstone banned for a bit and is that why the undertaker started using the last ride? Or was that to do with his badass gimmick? Was still a fan of that move!
0:44 if done right a safer version of this could work nowadays. Have one person throw them in the air and the wrestler grabbing the head jumps in time and goes down with them instead of forcing them down
I think the Heart Punch, while no longer a finisher, could potentially be a pretty good transitional move, or even potentially occupy that "not quite a finisher" status the modern-day superkick sits in, especially if the heart punch is, say, the end of a combination of strikes and is the one that puts the opponent onto the floor
I think it's one of those moves more fit for the olden days than today when kayfabe is dead. Then again Solo Sikoa is utilizing the samoan spike in the 2020's so maybe there's still room for those "classic" moves in current year.
When they did the heart punch they really set it up, took their time, swung back and then took a huge hit on the chest. That doesn't really suit a combo too much. Maybe it could be used as part of the mandatory sequence where both wrestlers take turns and chop, slap and/or punch each other occasionally replacing the kick to the chest as the move ending that sequence. Or maybe it could be a move that is used to transition the opponents body to a grounded position so one could use a moonsault on the prone opponent. Stuff like that, but definitly not a finisher by itself
Wait, so, 1/3 of these are because Simon doesnt like the idea of landing on your head but its totally OK for Kenny to continuously land on his head and Simon never says anything about it....
You people just look for any reason whatsoever you have a dig at aew or 1 of the select few main people in aew. The ironic thing is you probably said same bs about cody but then shot your load in your tighty whities when he went back to wwe, and your probably one of the ones that constantly say he should be the one to dethrone reigns.
But Kenny continuously landing on his head is worth 27 & 3/8 stars while it would paralyze a lesser wrestler and should be banner for all eternity for everyone else, man. Totally. /s
You AC could do a video of moves that are mortified versions of classic moves. Bc acclaimed scissor me timbers scissors just a motived Dudley boys WUZUP!!!!
Please stop acting like chairshots to the head are NOW suddenly dangerous. You didn’t need dr.omalu’s concussion research to know a steel folding chair slammed off the human head can cause serious trauma. It was bad in 1995, 2005, and 2025.
Regarding the heart punch: The most dangerous move in Karate is a strike to the heart, so it’s not too far off the mark when it comes to dangerousness. Doesn’t matter how silly it looks. Anyone who’s done martial arts long term knows that some of the nastiest techniques are the one which look the least believable.

The Dudley’s did in fact do the flying headbutt on Impact 1000.
I can vouch for that. I was there live
LOL, because I was going to say the same. Simon didn’t do his homework on this assignment or prematurely release the video.
@@mrdude88definitely recorded before it lol
"WHAAAAAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!?"
Ws do get it, you're not lying, just record before Impact 1000, I like the term this Aged like Milk better lol
How is the Steiner Screwdriver not on this list!?
Apparently Simon Miller vs Sami Callihan is something we'll never see despite Simon Miller promising to Sami Callihan's challenge years ago.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR???🤔🤔🤔
THEN WE HAVE TO SEE IT!
Bubba did "WAZZUP" with mutiple people after DVon retired and of course with DVon at Impact 1000 so we are seeing this :D
Including R-Truth at Rumble '15, as his replacement "brother" (double meaning) 🤣🤣😬😬...
Scissor Me Timbers could be considered a variation of Wazzup.
I consider it one absolutely
I love Shane… dude had a lock on a huge inheritance always knowing that, seeing his matches w Big Show etc… the dude legit wanted to prove he wasn’t just a spoiled brat.
I love the Doomsday Device
"El Diamante Dominicano" and also the infamous Jose Gonzalez "El Invader #1" both used "El puño al corazón" as their finisher for most of their careers during the 90's and 2000's

My dream is that Tony Khan has Nick Comarado take up the whole gimmick
claiming Anthony Ogogo taught Nick the Punch.
Do a video about finisher that’s don’t get used anymore but should. #1 the perfect plex
"We will never see Triple H do a pedigree again... I'm sure at some point he will do it for an angle." -Simon Miller
Best recent chair shot was Shawn Spears thwacking 3rd grade right out of Cody Roads
I'm pretty sure Chuck Palumbo was doing the heart punch in the mid-00's, no?
Tony Nese does the macho man neck snap but I don't think I've seen anyone else doing it
You left out Gregory Helms's Vertabreaker. That move was awesome!
Stop calling it the “cOaSt 2 CoAsT” and stop giving credit to Shane ‘O Mac for the maneuver. Its the VanTerminator created by Rob Van Dam in ECW in his fued against Scotty Anton way before Shane ever did it.
Wrath, WCW's Bryan Clark, had a badass finisher. Odd you don't see more or any current big men using it.
Ah, The Meltdown. It was basically like a pump handle slam into an Oklahoma slam/power slam. Looked effective for an otherwise basic combination of moves.
Ricky Boogs used it as a finisher.
Pump handle powerslam. That was vicious. Always loved seeing him use it.
He also had a variation of the Rock Bottom

i just miss how realistic and aggressive wrestling was in WWF 1997-2002. throwing dudes around, slamming them. the way the ring sounded
Same, but as Simon said, health is more important. What really gets me is how the wrestling games now look as if the game characters are "selling", instead of actually getting hit/hurt. I like the original games, where it looked like every move was legit. It's fine to protect people in real life, but why are we protecting "people" that are nothing but 1s and 0s? 😂
@@catisreckless4647I've felt the same about those games for years.
Tyrus and Daizee Haze used the Heart Punch in more recent times.

he used the Axe Bombers Lariat in japan
i really feel for Darby. its not worth it to suffer back pains in the future my dude,
FACTS but darby said in a interview that the bumps he takes while skateboarding or doing some crazy stuff outside of wrestling hurts more than the bumps he takes in wrestling so yeah darby’s whole body is going to be HURTING when he gets old.
@@cliffordjackson3when’s he’s old? He’ll barely be able to walk by the time he’s 45
CHAIRSHOTS TO THE HEAD GOD I MISS THAT.
You might have just taken a few and forgot about it minutes later...🤣🤣

Man, the Dudley's "WHAASUP!" was such a weird move. It's literally a flying headbutt to somebody's barse/taint.
The Rikishi Driver (Fire Thunder Driver) was recently used by Rey Fenix on Jon Moxley… TWICE two weeks ago lol
Tony Nese does the Randy Savage top rope neck snap from time to time.
I use the "top rope neck snap" a lot in my matches... always thought it was really cool
No Vertebreaker, Simon? I doubt we'll see that again
I was coming to say the same thing, probably my favorite finisher ever
The Dudleys just did that in a match at impact 1000th episode.
I realized I'm old when everyone I know remembers Lanny as the Genius and I was the only one that remembers him as Leapin' Lanny Poffo. Because I didn't grow up on only WWF in the 80's. I watched it. But I was watching NWA territory wrestling first.

“Shane Mcmahon’s” coats 2 coast? Not RVD??
RVD did it first
Anybody still doing Old School now that 'Taker (who borrowed the move from The Spoiler Don Jardine) has hung 'em up?
Ricky Starks kinda?
There are still wrestlers that dothe stun gun such as machine gunnar anderson
Wish we d never see predator vince again
You should retitle this as moves you wont see in WWE; like Danielson choked out Starks the same way this month..
I wrestle with a guy on the indies named Mike Pain who uses the heart punch as a finish.
The reverse choke slam...braun strowman...
Just watch, one day a wrestler will see this video and make every move on this list part of their moveset.
I dunno, seeing someone just yeet their opponent's head into the mat with the force of a slammed garage door like #10 might be a bit too much.🤔
I'm sorry but when you consider the fact that Mr. Mcmahon tore his quads, Triple h tore his quads, and now Shane, at this point you got to wonder if it's some kind of curse towards the men of the McMahon family or if it'll eventually come for the women too 🤣

The abdominal stretch is a standing version of the twister submission. Look it up. It is extremely painful.
The commentary was a blast on this one. 🤣
Christian Cage and Tony Nese both did Randy's over the top rope move actually
AMAZING WRESTLING MOVES!!! *choking* ... *chairshots to the head* ...🤣🤣
8:03 - I almost spit out my soup 🤣🤣🤣
Tyrus did the heart punch most recently and ppl do a lot of these things still...bad research Simon im very suprised
Dont forget the flying headbutt i dont think u will see it in wwe ever again
Chad Gabel does it, weirdly enough.
Nope Shane macman hurting himself is and will always be hilarious, especially via leapfrog
Funny enough Bryan Danielson did it again with a tie recently lol.
It was a strap, then he had the favour returned by Ricky Starks a week later...
Hogan's leg drop always gets top billing, likely justified for sheer volume if no other reason, but Bobby Eaton's top rope leg drop is one of those that, if you saw it now, you would immediately know the user will probably have much shorter career than they otherwise might.
You're listing all these and now it'll be done again lol
Another point on the heart punch is if you time is just wrong, and you actually hit the chest in front of the heart, you can put the heart into arythmia and effectively give the receiver a heart attack.
The invader #1 at 78 years of age is still wrestling and he still uses the heart punch. Not surprising for a murderer.
Didn't Swoll use the heart punch in WCW in 99?
Simon Whatculture? What the hell happened to Simon Miller?
Considering he's the only one in all of whatculture that people actually like, guess I'll allow it. xD
Was the tombstone banned for a bit and is that why the undertaker started using the last ride? Or was that to do with his badass gimmick? Was still a fan of that move!
Undertaker had permission from wwe to use the move since he preformed it safely
0:44 if done right a safer version of this could work nowadays. Have one person throw them in the air and the wrestler grabbing the head jumps in time and goes down with them instead of forcing them down
Coming from someone who tore his calf muscle from getting out of bed I would NEVER laugh at Shane O’Mac getting hurt
Shaker Heights spike is just wrong lol
Concussion wasn’t heavily studied back then, and that move looks really legit, and believable.
I think the Heart Punch, while no longer a finisher, could potentially be a pretty good transitional move, or even potentially occupy that "not quite a finisher" status the modern-day superkick sits in, especially if the heart punch is, say, the end of a combination of strikes and is the one that puts the opponent onto the floor

Stuff like that, but definitly not a finisher by itself
Two people actually died from the heart punch
So we're supposed to believe that Randy Orton terribly damaged his spine from occasional flat back bumps? That Randy keeping kayfabe
Shane Helms' Vertibreaker
Someone needs to have a match where they do all these moves
Actually last time a chair shot the head happened it was in AEW this year or last year also WWE did bring it back a few times recently too
Von Wagner looks so much like his dad Wayne Bloom

But Kenny continuously landing on his head is worth 27 & 3/8 stars while it would paralyze a lesser wrestler and should be banner for all eternity for everyone else, man. Totally. /s
I think Christian Cage does the Randy neck snap
No mention of the Vertebreaker
The tie spot was stupid because in sports entertainment a rear chin lock is totally legal and the same thing
Simon you are a liar. I saw the Dudley’s do the “Wazzup!” At Impact 1000 live😂
FLYING HAMMERLOCK - George Steele
Tyrus fka Brodus Clay uses the heart punch isn’t that how he won the nwa heavyweight championship
7:05 CM Punk did choke Drew with a cable in MITB '24; don't know how he got away with just a fine.
"Never say never".
You AC could do a video of moves that are mortified versions of classic moves. Bc acclaimed scissor me timbers scissors just a motived Dudley boys WUZUP!!!!
Whatever happened to the Atomic Drop?
Please stop acting like chairshots to the head are NOW suddenly dangerous. You didn’t need dr.omalu’s concussion research to know a steel folding chair slammed off the human head can cause serious trauma. It was bad in 1995, 2005, and 2025.
RVD did coasts to coast a wheel ago
We might not see the rko again either :(
Thank GOD we won't see Hogan's TRASH Leg Drop as a finisher again! (Unless you count Nia Jax, unfortunately!)
Doesn't Tyrus use the heart punch? 🤔
He meant anyone relevant
John Cena’s F-U and STFU. Because they’re now called different names
There's no good in this without video
Burning Hammer?
