The last time this move was seen was during the 2016 WWE Cruiserweight Classic. It was a surprise move brought out by Brian Kendrick as he tried to defeat Kota Ibushi. Shockingly, the move didn’t lead to a pin, which was as shocking as the move being used in the first place.

You see, the Burning Hammer was, up to that point, considered by many people to be both the most dangerous finisher in all of wrestling and the perfect finisher. The reason for this second claim was because the move’s most prolific user, Japanese legend Kenta Kobashi, used it only seven times in his career, and it always led to a pin when he did so.

That makes the Burning Hammer arguably the single-greatest wrestling move in the entire world: when done properly, it has a 100% chance of leading to a win for the user. As for Kota Ibushi, he proved that he has superhuman endurance when he kicked out of this terrifying move.
