[Tapout]

Innovative wise? Sabu, easily. But iconic wise, Peoples Elbow.

In reality it's just an elbow that barely hits, but it gets the crowd hyped up, no matter what. Thats the mark of a good sig/finisher.

 

[The New F'n Show]

People's Elbow is far more iconic. Plus Sabu botched his move about as often as he hit it.

 

[Captain Charisma]

Am I the only one who voted for Sabu's Triple Jump Moonsault? Great match up actually.

 

[Troy]

Sabu's Triple Jump Moonsault is damn impressive when it works but as mentioned he fails to hit it quiet often. People's Elbow is as simplistic as it gets but it is still a great finishing move because of the build up before he hits it.

I let the ECW mark in me shine right here.... I bet all the people who voted People's Elbow would never vote for the 5 knuckle shuffle....

I understand the argument but it's flawed. 5 Knuckle Shuffle never was iconic, the People's Elbow is. Not sure why but it got to that status.

 

[Keith]

I enjoyed the People's Elbow and its Impact for the reasons stated, but I had to vote the triple jump moonsault just a far more interesting and eyecatching move.

 

[Chris]

Both are normal moves with theatrics to make look cooler, so I voted the People's Elbow mainly because of how crazy the crowd was when he'd do it.

 

[We Are Legion]

If Sabu ever actually learned how to do that move without almost paralyzing himself in the process, maybe I would actually give it a second thought. The People's Elbow is easily one of the most iconic finishers in the long history of wrestling. It's also not a move anyone else could ever do and not be labeled as a "Rock imitator" immediately.

And as far as the 5-knuckle shuffle goes, there wouldn't have been a five knuckle shuffle if not for the People's Elbow. It actually comes pretty close to copying it, right down to throwing an article of clothing into the crowd right before bouncing off the ropes to land a simple attack on a downed opponent laying on his back.

 

[The New F'n Show]

The Rock takes this.
