The Most Famous Wrestling Moves of All Time – And Why They Actually Matter

Come on, we all know the feeling when Stone Cold sets up for the Stunner or The Rock throws the People’s Elbow. These aren’t just wrestling moves – they’re the DNA of professional wrestling, passed down and evolved over decades. Some of them changed the business forever. Others just looked cool enough that everyone wanted to steal them. From the Attitude Era’s explosive finishers to submission specialists who made grown men tap out, these 35 famous wrestling moves represent different eras, different styles, and different philosophies of what wrestling should be. The Piledriver got banned after nearly killing Stone Cold. The RKO became a meme. Modern women’s wrestlers created finishers that proved they didn’t need scaled-down versions of men’s moves. Here’s the reality: your finisher tells the audience who you are as a wrestler – and these 35 told their stories perfectly.
Hulk Hogan’s Legacy: The Man Who Changed Wrestling Forever, a Ringside Report Tribute

The wrestling world stands still today, mourning the loss of the immortal Hulk Hogan. But on this special episode of Wrestling Uncensored, we weren’t just mourning a wrestler; we were remembering the man who changed the entire business—not once, but twice. Dave Simon and Johnny North paid a heartfelt tribute to the legend, making one truth crystal clear: there will never be another Hulk Hogan.
This wasn’t just a man who sold tickets; he was the reason the tickets were printed in the first place. He was the Babe Ruth of professional wrestling, a cultural phenomenon who transcended the ring to open doors for every superstar who followed. From the glorious heights of Hulkamania to his shocking heel turn that sparked the Monday Night Wars, Hogan’s fingerprints are on every significant moment in wrestling history.
His legacy is complicated, to be sure, and we don’t shy away from that. But as Dave Simon so eloquently put it, “I’m able to separate whatever he was as a person… from the enjoyment that he brought to my life and to millions of others.” Hogan was a performer who could make a simple gesture feel electric, a showman who sold out arenas around the globe, and a legend who taught millions of kids to say their prayers, eat their vitamins, and believe in Hulkamania. His final bow may have been on July 24, 2025, but his legacy will live forever, brother.
