5 WWE finishers that were actually stolen from other wrestlers

4# The Pedigree

The Game is a 14-time World Champion thanks to the Pedigree.

When the young Hunter Hearst Helmsley arrived in the WWF in 1995, he needed something special as his finisher.

Planting his opponents face into the mat, the Pedigree (playing on the Connecticut blue-blood's snobbish behavior) helped launch Helmsley into super-stardom and has become one of the company's longest-tenured stars, Triple H.

But the Pedigree was not actually the Game's own design, and instead came from Ron Bass.

Years before the King of Kings would enter the company, Bass used the Pedigree, though unlike Triple H's version, did not hook the arms, and instead just used his leg strength to plant his opponent onto the mat.

The funny thing about this is that in his debut WWF match, the Game used the 'Pedigree Pandemonium', a cutter, but was politely asked by DDP to not use a variation of his finisher.
