WWE Moves are decisive factors when it comes to a superstar’s standing. While the best moves appear cool and are physically effective, the worst WWE moves are unrealistic.
Ever since the inception of the WWE, one thing the competition has been berated for is the extreme lengths it goes to make matches intriguing. While it has added to the entertainment quotient prevalent, a string of viewers have been left scratching their eyes at the improbableness of what they witnessed.
Following are 5 of the worst WWE Moves of all time.
Worst WWE Moves
1. Trip To The Batcave
As hilarious as Bastian Booger just plopping down on his opponent looks, it gets ridiculous the more you think about it. We often see superstars using their weight to an advantage but Trip To The Batcave is one lazy move for a wrestler. Earthquake and Yokozuna use their weight in the same way too, but at least they add some momentum before they crash into the opponent.
2. Underwear Swipe
This move, or even worse finisher, belongs to Phantasio who would sneak up on his opponent and magically pull out their underwear to roll-up his way to victory. He made his WWE debut under a magician gimmick. Though his athleticism was never impressive, he is remembered today for this move. It’s not even necessary to explain why this move is in this list.
3. Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD)
It’s just a punch, for god’s sake. Even if the man hitting the punch is a giant, it’s just a punch. One could say that the move has really knocked out opponents for good, but Big Show could make the move look a bit more devastating while hitting it. Neither does it do justice to his stature, nor to the move’s name.
4. A Woman’s Right
Talk about pseudo-feminism. Big Show’s punch can get the benefit of the doubt and be passed off as a finisher, for once. But what makes Lacey Evans’ right-hand punch so special? While the Sassy Southern Belle has been receiving a stellar push from the company, it’s high-time she switches her finisher to a decent slam or something if she wants to advocate for women’s rights.

5. Bearhug
Bruno Sammartino, Brawn Strowman and many more strongmen have used this move over the years. It’s pretty simple to pull off with a strong stature and can leave your opponent gasping for air. But as compared to other submission holds, it does not look that hurtful.
With the opponent’s limbs free to move as per discretion, they can easily break the hold with a few punches or kicks. But we all know that rarely happens.
