WWE has ranked the 50 best fishing moves of all time in their newest DVD – The 50 Greatest Finishing Moves in History.
The DVD isn’t set to be released until September.
According to Turnbuckl post "We’ve obtained the full list and there’s some surprising rankings. Jeff Hardy’s Swanton Bomb is considered to be better than CM Punk’s GTS and Rey Mysterio’s 619 is better than Brock Lesnar’s F-5 according to the list."
Errr excuse me - the Swanton bomb is more dangerous, requires more skill and looks better. Why the surprise?
Big Show’s WMD and Sheamus’ Brogue Kick miss out completely. The best aerial move is considered to be Jimmy Snuka’s Superfly splash (ranked at #9).
Check out the full list below.

Got to agree with top 2 to be honest. Having said that, the F5 is a monster finisher and should be higher. Randyorton should be nowhere near the top 20 as its just another form of stunner.
By the way - if you like this article then give it 1 star - just like Torres' psychologist
