An extremely celebrated finishing move that came out of the WWF's attitude era. The Rock Bottom is a modified side slam. The Rock would grab his assailants around the neck, and then throw the assailants arm behind his own head.

Once he had his opponents hooked, he would hoist him high in the air and slam him on his back. It wasn't often an opponent would get up from the impact


#7 The Macho Elbow

"Macho Man" Randy Savage had the best flying elbow drop of all time. It was dynamic, hard-hitting and completely original.

Whereas most wrestlers would land on their butts, Savage would land directly on his hip. Surprisingly, Savage never broke his hip.

In the 80s, the Macho Madness elbow drop was a replay you couldn't miss. There was something magical about the Macho Man, in his multi-coloured gear, flying through the air. It kept people glued to the television.
