5 WWE Finishers that lost its effect

#3. Chokeslam - The Undertaker

Undertaker's Chokeslam is his fourth most preferred finisher

The Undertaker has won WWE Championships with the Chokeslam - so how come it got devalued? The reason is that the Deadman has one of the most stacked move-sets for a wrestling heavyweight and eventually the Chokeslam evolved into being just another spot, building up towards Taker's other more explosive finishers.

Tombstone Piledriver, Hell's Gate and the Last Ride relegated the Chokeslam down the pecking order. The fact that Taker's frequent opponents like Kane and the Big Show used the Chokeslam as their primary finisher made it less special when Taker pulled it out.

The 'Deadman' version of The Undertaker was always associated with the Tombstone, with the WWE's decision to ban all other piledrivers from being used in the company making the move extra special. As far as Taker's 'American Badass' persona was considered, the Last Ride became his new signature which further downgraded the Chokeslam.

The Chokeslam was reserved for opponents whom Taker couldn't lift up for the Last Ride or the Tombstone, but that last remaining sheen vanished when the Hell's Gate was introduced. Super heavyweights like the Great Khali bit the dust under that Triangle Choke.

In recent years, Taker would use the Chokeslam as a set up move for his Tombstone, with even the Snake Eyes earning more of a crowd pop.
