#10 Red Arrow

Used by: Adrian Neville/Pac.

Strengths: Simply breathtaking to behold, hits with a lot of impact and leads directly into a pinfall attempt.

Weaknesses: Very difficult to perform, takes a long time to set up, and the opponent must be prone and very close to turnbuckle.

A move that utterly defies description, the Red Arrow is only utilized on a regular basis by one performer, Adrian Neville, AKA PAC. The former WWE cruiserweight and NXT champion developed the move on his own as a more dazzling variant on moves like the 450 and shooting star press.

To perform the move, PAC climbs to the top turnbuckle and then crazily leaps into the air, performing multiple spins and rotations before crashing down across his opponent's sternum. The move leads into a pinfall directly, and is usually the end of the match.
