10 all-time favourite wrestling manoeuvers 

#3 The Rock's Rock Bottom

The Rock's cooking a rock bottom

If you can smell what The Rock is cooking, then you'd surely know that his Rock Bottom is ferocious. It is a varied version of Bookend, the finishing maneuver of Booker T, but The Rock has made it electrifying by adding his charisma into it. He may not be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but his strength and agility make the move very enjoyable. It goes well with his persona, and it also redeems him from 'The People's Elbow'.

The Rock lifts his opponent by his upper back or neck, lifts him up and slams him on the mat. The People's Champ has won several matches due to the destructive nature of this move.

#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner

Stunned

When someone talks about The Attitude Era, they can't miss Stone Cold Steve Austin. He was the star of that era, but an unfortunate neck injury cost him his career. With his uncensored debauchery, the Stone Cold Stunner has stunned enough and more opponents throughout the decades.

His presence has been very important for WWE. During the attitude era, fans were used to seeing Austin chugging beers, showing his middle finger to everyone's faces and 3:16s. All of these elements cemented his role as the top star of WWE. A swift kick to the gut, followed by a modified cutter, the Stunner wasn’t the most impressive or complex of finishers, but the power of the man behind it always made it memorable. One never knows when The Texas Rattlesnake would strike, but when he does, it is callous.

The effect of the stunner largely depended on the selling skills of the opponent and there was no shortage of that in the WWE. Wrestlers would bounce like a ball when Austin hit the stunner and lay flat out for the three count.
