3. Bear Hug
via the-w.com
The longest-reigning champion in the history of the WWE (then-WWWF) was Bruno Sammartino, who held the championship for almost 11 years if you combine both of his runs with the top title. Those younger fans who didn’t know him were reintroduced following his WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2013. Everybody knows his name, but few can tell you his finisher was the electrifying, exciting, thrilling… Bear Hug. Yup, simply squeezing a guy until he went limp was once a popular finisher of big guys like Andre the Giant, Big John Studd and even Mark Henry. Now, it seems more like a chance for wrestlers to catch their breath and figure out what’s next.
