    Strange, 'taker still does his Tombstone Piledriver now?

    He did stop it at one point, heard a rumour that it was more to do with the stress it was putting on his knees??

      He and very occasionally Kane are allowed to do it, Undertaker is a trusted veteran and thus allowed to do so. You will notice no other wrestlers do the move in the WWE now, back in the day almost all the wrestlers had the move as part of the repertoire, people like Owen Hart and Paul Orndorf spring to mind.
      We come not to play.

        Yeah Taker is aloud to pull the tombstone out everynow and again, partly because once he lines it up he can be sure that the persons head is above his knees so won't hit the floor, well unless he slips....

          The candian destroyer is a awesome move, in the wwe they dont showcase moves like that, the finisher paul london used 2 employ the twisting splash was quite the site, outlawed that too

            I'm pretty sure Kane stopped with the Piledrivers a while back because his knees were utterly ****ed.

                  That was brilliant. Especially in the Filthy Animals.

                  What was Rey Mysterio's finisher in WCW? It wasn't the 619 and the West Coast Pop because they seem to be new ones.

                          Tequila sunrise was Konnan's finisher.

                              Ah ha, now I remember.

                              Rey Rey did the Tornado DDT or a hurricanrana as his finisher in WCW
