#2 Mankind

Mankind
The Mandible Claw?

Harking back to an earlier entry in this article now Santino Marella, and the faux Italian isn't the only man in WWE's history who incorporated a sock into his finishing manoeuvre. No, it was Mankind who was the innovator of that particular brand of finisher.

Long before Santino ever stepped foot in a WWE ring, Mick Foley was plunging his hand into his tights and pulling out the infamous Mr Socko. A white sock with a face that Foley would put on his hand before applying his finisher, the Mandible Claw.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

As finishers go, it's not only one of the worst but also one of the foulest. Once the mangy sock was on Mankind's hand, he would stick it as far into his opponent's mouth as he could. Pretty grim and not exactly groundbreaking.
