WWE over the years has seen a variety of wrestlers and the unique signature moves they are capable of delivering. Of all the wrestlers and all the shots that we have seen, perhaps the most brutal and deadliest of them is the 'Spear'.
This move has caused various title changes, injuries, heel turns, face turns, threats to career and life as well. Over the years, many wrestlers have implied this move, but few of them have achieved more success and name for themselves than others.
Here we present you five such wrestlers, who have made this move famous and more popular than other wrestlers.
#5 Big Show
The Big Show is a giant with inhuman strengths. He is perhaps the most destructive force to have ever stepped foot in the ring. He has various moves in his bank like choke-slam, knockout punch, and others.
A couple of years ago, Big Show tried and tested the spear on his opponents. His enormous strength combined with his running speed has matted many superstars. Once he started using the spear, he used it regularly in most of his brawls. He has speared superstars like Evan Bourne, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns and a lot more. Most of his opponents conceded defeat and could not respond to the falls count once he delivered the spear.
However, owing to his massive size he could not take a long run or jump to a great extent which is essential for the spear. This makes him number 5 on the list.
#4 Roman Reigns
The big dog has made an outstanding impression on himself in the WWE. He has defeated the likes of Undertaker, Miz, Seth Rollins and several other big names in the field of professional wrestling. Behind his enormous rise and tremendous success, lies his ability to spear his opponents and ground them to the floor.
Reigns has a variety of moves at his disposal, including the power-bomb, Superman punch, and others. But his spear produces the maximum impact of all of them as he can deliver it out of nowhere. Whether it is the barricade, commentator's desk, inside the ring, backstage or any premises, he has successfully speared his fellow wrestlers and caused them serious career threatening injuries. However, Roman Reigns hunger to spear more of his colleagues consolidates his position at number 4 on this list.
#3 Bobby Lashley
Bobby was a hardcore ECW champion who used to annihilate his opponents with his unique strength blended with his dominant spear. Lashley participated and won several matches in WWE and one of the prime reasons for his victory could be attributed to his demolishing spear.
He has speared wrestlers likes Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon and various heavyweights like Viscera, Big Show and floored all of them. Wrestlers could hardly beat the one, two, three counts and barely managed to kick out of the pin-fall; such is the impact of his spear.
Lashley is number three on the list because he is one of the rare African-American wrestlers who used the Spear and the majority of his title shielding in WWE could be attributed because of this destructive move.
It's going to be fun to see him return to WWE after WrestleMania, where he's slated to feud with Brock Lesnar, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
#2 Edge
Edge, 'the ultimate opportunist', is perhaps the most accomplished superstar WWE ever had. He has defeated almost every superstar he came across in his life and won almost every championship that he crossed paths with. But, the 'cutting edge' will forever be remembered as the guy who delivered the maximum number of spears in WWE history.
There was a time when hardly any superstar from the WWE roster used to use the spear in any of the brands barring Edge. The move was under the scanner and faced various controversies. It was even banned by Vickie Guerrero, the then acting general manager of SmackDown. However, Edge used the move throughout his career to his advantage and he has been rewarded with some historic and monumental victories in various WWE matches. This solidifies his number two position on this list.
#1 Goldberg
No wrestler could deliver the spear the way Goldberg used to. He used to run and almost carry his opponent and make them fly to a distance while delivering the move. This caused more brutal effect and it was just the beginning of the end of his opponents. The spear used to be followed by the jackhammer and then no wrestler could beat the count of the referee.
Goldberg was undefeated for a long span of time in WCW and later in the WWE. Whether it is singles competition or handicap match, he could size up all of his opponents with one spear. This is simply because no player, irrespective of his size could absorb his deadly spears, which used to blow the air out of their body. He is undoubtedly number one on this list, as he grabbed the mammoth amount of success owing to this decimating move of his.
