5 of lamest finishing moves that have been seen in the WWE

For every finishing move that is devastating, there’s another one round the corner that looks like it doesn’t hurt very much.

#4 The People’s Elbow

Despite its popularity amongst fans, the People’s elbow hasn’t stood the test of time.

Before all you Rock fans bring out your pitchforks, let me make my case. Even though the People’s Elbow was a very protected finisher during the Attitude Era, it’s basically an elbow drop with The Rock’s charisma attached to it.

A move that originally started as a rib between the wrestlers’ backstage, over time the move has become hallowed in the annals of wrestling history thanks to The Rock.

But it when you think about it, only The Rock could have made an elbow drop prefaced by a load of shenanigans work as a finishing move.
