5 WWE superstars who stole their moves
Finishing moves and signature moves are some of the greatest parts of pro wrestling. Sure, it’s all scripted but who can forget that rush of adrenaline when you see Randy Orton hitting one of his RKOs? Professional wrestling would be incomplete without these moves.
But, there are also a very limited number of moves available to pro wrestlers that they can perform safely and still make look devastating. It is because of this reason that a number of superstars end up stealing finishers for themselves.
People like AJ Styles and Finn Balor, who invent their own moves, are a rarity these days and there is very little surprise when you see someone use the exact same finisher as someone else, just with a different name.
Today, we are here to list out superstars who have gotten away with theft for their own personal gain. So, without any further ado, here is a list of 5 WWE superstars who stole their moves:
#5 Bret Hart
The Sharpshooter is Bret Hart’s iconic finisher. It is one of the most fondly remembered moves for anyone who saw The Hitman perform, and there is very little doubt that he can pull it off better than almost anyone alive.
The Scorpion Deathlock is Sting’s iconic finisher. It is one of the most fondly remembered moves for anyone who saw The Stinger perform, and there is very little doubt that he can pull it off better than almost anyone alive.
The two moves look eerily similar. So, what exactly is the difference between the two? Nothing, according to Sting, who is credited with as the originator of the move for western audiences after he learnt it during his time in Japan.
So, yeah. The Sharpshooter is a rip off of the Scorpion Death Lock, and Sting’s version is very much the original
