6. KENTA’s Ura/Inverted Go 2 Sleep
Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE
KENTA, a.k.a. Hideo Itami created one of the most famous finishing moves of the past decade: the Go 2 Sleep, a fireman’s carry dropped into a knee lift to the face. This move brought him immense popularity both in his native Japan and internationally (so much so that CM Punk started using the move in WWE).
That move is incredibly popular, but it lost its effectiveness due to overuse over the years. To fix this problem, KENTA came up with a variation of this move that he saved for only the most difficult of situations: the Inverted GTS. Instead of a knee to the face, KENTA would pick his opponent up in a torture rack and then drop them and knee them in the back of the head/neck.
This move looked just as dangerous as the original (if not more so) and brought KENTA just as much success as his original Go To Sleep.
