#2 Frankensteiner
Scott Steiner was never known as one of the best technical workers in pro-wrestling history but he was a solid performer. When he first started out, he and his brother were known as one of the best and most physical tag teams of their day. It was often seen as a punishment to work with them. Rick Steiner never truly stood out in his time outside of his tag team success.
Meanwhile, Scott went from tag to singles with major success. He would completely change up his character and even partially his wrestling style. He was a good college wrestler before working in pro-wrestling, so most knew he could go when asked. However, this was not seen as much during his singles run with WCW and especially not in WWE. One thing most realized quick with him was that he was a big man, but he was able to move very well.
This allowed him to invent a move still used today, the Frankensteiner. The move used to finish matches for Steiner and even he realized that needed to end and added another move to finish matches. In WWE, he never seemed to finish a match with it either on the rare times he actually did the move. Today, we have a number of versions of the move. However, it has yet to end a match in present day.
Many believe that if there was a great variation again, it very well could finish a match. WWE NXT Diva Bayley might need to consider such an action. Until a brilliant variation comes along, do not count on seeing it finish a match anymore.
