5 wrestling moves created by Jushin Liger that are used In today's WWE

#2 The Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker

A common move throughout wrestling, the Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker is a simple yet effective move at taking one’s opponent’s momentum and using it against them. It serves as the perfect counter to a running opponent as they’re spun in the air and land on their opponent’s knee back-first. No matter how big or small of a wrestler you are, this move always looks like it hurts.

Many wrestlers have used this move in WWE, from Drew McIntyre and Alberto del Rio to Sheamus, Cesaro, CM Punk, and Eddie Guerrero. The move has long been popular among smaller Lucha Libre-oriented wrestlers, part of which stems from Liger using the move a lot during the early 1990s. Because Liger used this move so frequently, other wrestlers started emulating him over time.
