3 of the best finishing moves in wrestling and 3 of the worst

Best: Gorilla Press Slam

Used By: The Ultimate Warrior, Beth Pheonix, Lars Sullivan

Perhaps one of the most impressive of all pro wrestling moves, a gorilla press slam involves lifting your victim over your head with both arms and then dropping them to the mat. Many variants exist, but all involved the initial lift in a 'military press' position. The move is alternately called the military press slam and the lifting power slam.

Several legends have utilized the move, which requires the practitioner to be in incredible physical condition and capable of safely lifting and holding their victim high overhead.

Strengths: The Gorilla Press slam is very impressive visually, but is one of the safer bumps because the victim lands in a supine position. It's also very versatile, and can be used inside or outside the ring, and is of particular use during battle royals.

Weaknesses: The wrestler performing the move has to have legit strength.
