Iconic WWE Moves That We All Tried: Names like Dwayne Johnson, or more popularly ‘The Rock’, and the Undertaker are names that are the most recognizable and legendary names from WWE history. Watching WWE was not merely for entertainment but also for getting to copy the moves of our favorite superstars, in a much lighter and safer way.
These are some of the iconic WWE moves that we all tried:
Chokeslam
Wrestler: The Big Show (Paul Wight)
The “Chokeslam” was one move that every kid tried to imitate. It was when Big Show would be seen lifting his opponent by his throat and then throwing him with great force. Though as kids, no one could really copy that move, even a hard push with our sibling or friend landing on the bed seemed just fine.
Pedigree
Wrestler: Triple H (The Game)
The Pedigree was a move that quickly became a fan favorite and was copied by kids. What it involved was crossing the arms of your friend or sibling and dropping them on their face in a safe manner. In the early 2000, it was considered to be one of the coolest moves ever.
Sweet Chin Music
Wrestler: Shawn Michaels
When we talk about superkicks in wrestling, Shawn Michaels’ Sweet Chin Music was another cool move that kids tried to copy. It was generally copied in playgrounds with friends.
RKO
Wrestler: Randy Orton
A move that no one could see coming was the RKO move, as it was a surprise attack move that involved Orton catching his opponent in a facelock and then slamming their face on the mat. Many of us copied a milder version of this move with our friends and siblings, and it surely added a good level of fun to the playtime.
Tombstone Piledriver
Wrestler: The Undertaker
To this day, the famous move of The Undertaker, “Tombstone Piledriver,” is considered to be one of the most feared moves in WWE history. Though disclaimers were always given to never try that move at home, it surely did capture the attention of every child.
These were moves that were not merely fun but what intrigued everyone in their childhoods and made them feel strong and cool so much so that they remain etched in the memories of fans globally.
