Superkicks, DDTs and 7 Finishing Moves That Have Been Watered Down by Overuse | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Seeing the Sharpshooter on this list might surprise some people, but if you have been paying close attention, it has become more commonplace in recent years.

During the '90s, Bret and Owen Hart made the move famous, while Sting used his own version called The Scorpion Deathlock in WCW. It was a great submission move that looked painful if applied properly.

Since then, we have seen it used by people like Seth Rollins, Natalya, Tyson Kidd, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan and even The Rock. It's not as common as a superkick, but it shows up quite a bit.

Other than Natalya, few people use it to make their opponents tap out anymore, which has slightly tarnished the legacy of the move. It would be different if more people used it as a finisher.
