3 of the best finishing moves in wrestling and 3 of the worst

Worst: Leg Drop

Used By: Hulk Hogan, The Great Khali, Nia Jax

The leg drop most fans are familiar with is actually a variation called a running guillotine leg drop. However, since one almost never uses a leg drop on any other part of the body than the neck, the guillotine descriptor has been dropped by most wrestling announcers.

To perform this move, the victim must be prone on the mat, lying face up. The wrestler performing the finisher hits the ropes, runs across the ring, and leaps into the air. They come crashing down with their leg right across their opponent's throat, rendering them unconscious for the three count.

Hulk Hogan is the most famous practitioner of the leg drop, and he was criticized for most of his career by wrestling journalists and fans for it.

Strengths: Simple to perform, relatively safe

Weaknesses: Just not impressive enough to be a finisher, can only be used in the ring on a prone opponent.
