10 devastating top rope pro wrestling moves

#3 Flying Elbow Drop

Macho Man Randy Savage unleashes a flying elbow drop, a move he made famous, on the helpless Bret the Hitman Hart

Used by: Macho Man Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, Kairi Sane

Strengths: Devastating and accurate.

Weaknesses: Opponent must be prone on the mat, can hurt the practitioner nearly as much as the victim.

The flying elbow drop is a spectacular move that is only performed by truly elite athletes. To hit a flying elbow drop, one must first make sure one's opponent is truly ragged, struggling to move or even breathe while laying prone on the mat.

One ascends to the top rope, and -- often after a brief pose or appeal to the crowd -- leaps into the air and adjusts mid-flight to come crashing down elbow first on the opponent's sternum.

Randy Savage made the move famous, but athletes like Kairi Sane have taken it to the next level.
