10 greatest super-finishers in wrestling history

#2 The Tiger Driver '91

This is one of the most vicious wrestling moves ever created

A standard Tiger Driver is a relatively simple move to execute while also being quite safe. It starts off as a Pedigree, but instead of dropping straight down, the victim is dropped into a Powerbomb. As long as the victim rotates enough, they don’t have to worry about serious injury or severe damage.

The same cannot be said for this variation of the move.

Made famous by Japanese legend Mitsuharu Misawa, the Tiger Driver ’91 changes things by adding a spike to the move. Instead of allowing the victim to rotate onto their backs, the user locks their arms and drives them straight down onto their head, neck and shoulders. It’s an extremely dangerous move because the wrestler has to land on their neck and shoulders with little in terms of protection.

Misawa used the move extensively throughout the 1990s, and in that time, only one person ever kicked out of it: Kenta Kobashi, himself a legendary wrestler and the creator of arguably the best super-finisher of all time.
