5 Abandoned WWE Finishers

#3 The Teardrop Suplex

The teardrop suplex was a finishing move used by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. The move is as simple as any other suplex and is definitely not worthy of being used as a finisher, especially not by one of WWE's top superstars.

All HBK simply did was lift his opponents left leg while placing their left arm over his head and suplexing them on the mat. Michaels later adopted the superkick as his new finisher which is widely known as the Sweet Chin Music.

The move may be better used as a signature move than a finisher. It can be used in WWE today but only as a signature move. It has been abandoned as a finisher and with Michaels already having retired from the ring, we won't see him perform the move again.
