6. Flying Headbutt

It doesn’t help when a murderer popularizes a finisher, but despite the tragic Chris Benoit incident, the move existed well before he used it. In fact, Benoit used it as an homage to his idol, Dynamite Kid, who regularly jumped off Davey Boy Smith’s shoulders to perform it as part of the British Bulldogs. You’ll still sometimes see a wrestler use this in a “false finish” but with so much attention paid to head injuries, slowing down the use of this move was a good idea. A wrestler with a concussion is a wrestler we don’t get to see.
