10 Best WWE Finishing Moves
The best WWE finishers ever!
7. The Pedigree
Triple H first started practising what would become known as The Pedigree when he was a student in Killer Kowalski’s wrestling school.
He then used it while trying to make a name for himself as Jean Paul Levesque in WCW before coming to WWE.
In his early WWE days, Hunter Hearst Helmsley used a version of the cutter as a finish, but it was hit-and-miss as to whether it looked good, depending on who he was doing it on. Plus, Diamond Dallas Page called his former colleague and gave him an earful about ‘stealing’ it from him.
Triple H thus started busting out the Pedigree and, after a bit of trial and error, got the formula down pat.
The Pedigree is great because it’s unique, looks utterly devastating and is something that can be teased and countered in various ways.
It did always look better when The Game would hold onto his opponent’s arms while they took the face-first bump, but I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to take that version.
The multi-time WWE Champion later gifted the move to Seth Rollins as his own in-ring days were winding down.
