5. Alberto Del Rio’s Finisher

I know, I know. Alberto Del Rio is not in WWE anymore. But that doesn’t change the fact that the finisher he used during his second stint with the company was absolute garbage.

The most important thing for a wrestling fan to have is the ability to suspend disbelief. In order to get truly invested in the storylines and matches, you have to disregard some slight lapses in logic or reason, particularly when superstars seem to be overly cooperative when their opponent is trying to hurt them using some convoluted move. However, there is one move that is simply so ridiculous that it goes beyond any reasonable suspension of disbelief: Alberto Del Rio’s double foot stomp.

There’s simply no logical way to explain why his opponent would grab the top rope to hold themselves up, thus giving Del Rio an angle to stomp on their chest. No reason at all. It takes less effort and is in the superstar’s best interest to just hang from the turnbuckle limply, but no. They have to do Alberto a favor and basically, say “Oh hey you wanna cave my chest in with your feet? Here you go, buddy. No problem.”

Plus, Del Rio is talented enough where he could use so many other things as his finisher. Even the superkick he used in his return match on a kneeling John Cena would have been better. So double foot stomp…

You just made the list!
