10 WWE moves that can be countered but usually aren't

  1. Old School

Dead man walking

The Undertaker is arguably the greatest pro wrestler to brace the inside of a ring. He has cultivated a legacy behind him so momentous that it has completely overshadowed any and all grounds that it had risen from.

The Old School is a signature move of the Undertaker that involves a ropewalk while twisting the opponents arm before ending it with a chop. Adopted from Don Jardine’s top rope walk, this move has been associated with Taker for such a long time that despite his numerous gimmick changes, fans still get behind this classic manoeuvre all the time.

While it is fairly easy to counter, it is usually not done so. Unless one is Bam Neely, reversing the old school is tantamount to unceremoniously depriving one of the greatest performers in wrestling history from indulging in his legacy.

Of course, this does not mean that the Undertaker’s moves are never reversed. They are booked to be difficult to counter, in lieu of his larger than life persona.
