Wrestling Holds/Finishers you just don’t see anymore
Apologies if this has been done recently.
While writing my first post and reminiscing about all those Old-School wrestlers, I started thinking about Killer Karl Kox. KKK was my favourite heel as a kid and his “devastating” finisher was the Brain Buster. For those of you who don’t know the BB, picture a vertical suplex but rather than having your opponent fall on his back, he landed on his head. Invariably, the medics then had to come to the ring and stretcher out his opponent. Next week, his opponent would show up in a neck brace vowing to get revenge once they got better and selling the “injury” (of course, if Cena had've been around in those days he would've got straight up). ![]() I remember at the live shows the very audible gasps from the crowd as KKK lifted his opponent into the air and suspended him there before delivering the final blow. Of all the heels, I reckon KKK was the most hated of his time simply because of his signature move.Was it dangerous? No doubt...if performed by amateurs. But I don’t ever recall a mishap or real injury resulting from KKK performing this move. There aren’t that many moves that involve dropping your opponent directly on his head. Tombstone (where most of the time, you can see the head miss the mat by miles) and to some degree the DDT (same) are a couple. But I haven’t seen the BB since the days of KKK which prompts me to ask what other moves have disappeared. You need to be THIS HOT... ![]() To ride the KYR Train Step aside, if you don't wanna ride!

Remember when heel tag teams used to hold each others arm for leverage on the abdominal stretch when the ref wasn't looking? That was golden.

Plenty of Fireman's Carries, though. |

You know, this one may sound a bit stupid...but I miss the Torture Rack. Not it's user, just the move. |

Crippler Crossface; nobody can see it. WWE censors out everything with Chris Benoit in it.

Jericho's hurricanrana to a sitting opponent on the top rope
Tazz's style of suplexes Rey's hurricanrana follow through under the legs for a sit down pin. I like that time that he never used on Orton who he never pinned to win a non existant title |

Jericho Spike. I would love to see him bust that sucker out again. (his top rope frankenstiener with the opponent standing on the top rope.)

Or how Flair will hold onto the ropes for leverage while applying the figure-four, or how any heel will at one point put his feet on the ropes for added leverage while pinning his opponent

Doesn't Val Venis also use it as one of his finishers? Of course, since he never wins you never get to see it.

Piledrivers
Forceful powerbombs DDT's aren't really done well or as finishers anymore You never see anybody give up to a figure 4 anymore. You don't see tag teams with team finishers as much nowadays. (or if you do they suck). There's really a lot of shitty finishers. |

I believe it was during HHH and the Rock's Iron Man match, HHH won a fall with it (I think).
