The punt to the skull – Randy Orton’s banned finisherNo great wrestler is complete without his signature move. Like how the Spear used to define Goldberg and the Tombstone still defines the Undertaker, the finishing move adds to the mystique of the wrestler.We have seen the finishers undergo quite a transformation over the years. While a legdrop was considered to be a devastating move in the 80s, it doesn’t even warrant a two count now a days.WWE fans have seen many dangerous moves being banned by the company like Randy Orton’s running punt, Seth Rollins’ Curb Stomp and Billy Kidman’s Shooting Star press.Well, how about those moves that are so dangerous that they have never made it to the WWE or at least never used for an extended period?This article gives a list of the top 5 deadliest finishers that a normal WWE fan might be excused for never having seen.

#5 The Vertebreaker - The Hurricane/ Homicide

 

While all other moves in this list have never been seen in the WWE, the Vertebreaker was actually used in the company by the Hurricane for a short period of time till it was banned in 2003.

While a Piledriver is bad enough for a person to get badly injured, the Vertebreaker increases the danger manifold. Basically a back to back double underhook Piledriver, the opponent would be lifted up in an inverted position on the Hurricane’s back before the PileDriver was swiftly executed.

While Undertaker's Tombstone PileDriver has the provision of keeping the opponent’s head off the mat during the move, the same is not possible in a Vertebreaker and the wrestler almost always lands on his neck or head.

Impact Wrestling’s Homicide uses a comparatively safer version of the move known as the Gringo Killa, but it is still a devastating finishing manoeuver.
