The Double-Arm DDT - Who Did It Best?

#2 Drew McIntyre

McIntyre looks far more menacing now than he did five years ago

Back during his first run in WWE, Drew McIntyre’s finisher was a snap Double-Arm DDT which he called ‘the Future Shock’. What made his version so good was that he gave it more of a snap when he hit it, which made his victims flip over when hit with it.

With this move, McIntyre achieved quite a bit of success, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship with it in 2009. At the time, McIntyre was only 24 years old, yet was pushed as ‘the future of WWE’. He pinned many wrestlers with this high-impact move as he tried to climb the ladder on SmackDown.

Unfortunately, things changed for McIntyre, despite checking almost all of Vince’s boxes. He had the look, he was tall, and he had a killer finisher in the Future Shock that, despite looking highly impactful, was a reliable move that didn’t run the risk of hurting anyone.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t getting much of a reaction, and reportedly had a high-profile confrontation with then-girlfriend Taryn Terrell that led to his de-push. Not even using this cool move as his finisher could salvage him after all of that.
