Most Protected Finishers

[Caesar_Of_Uranus]

What are the most protected finishers that you have no memory of anyone ever kicking out of?

My first nomination is Paul Orndorff's Piledriver. My favorite Piledriver of all time executed perfectly by Orndorff with the big jump and the start.

Second Nomination - Road Warrior's Doomsday Device

 

[Pittie Petey]

Orndorff's pile driver was great

My all time favorite finisher was Randy Savage's elbow drop, it was a thing of beauty, the way he effortlessly float through the air as the camera flashes went off in the background, it was mesmerizing to young ole Pete

And its still protected to this day because no one has ever been able to do it the way he did

[Excelsior]

Loved Mr Wonderful's piledriver. My vote for the best ever.

Taker's Tombstone was very well protected. That and Hogan's leg drop were the first that came to mind.

I love Macho's elbow, but I watched Ultimate Warrior kick out after Macho hit 6 elbows in a row at WM7...It's still the best in the business though.

I don't recall people kicking out of the Razor's Edge much

Kenta Kobashi's Burning Hammer

Kobashi only used the move 7 times ever and only in big matches with high stakes, which really protected the move even more.
