WWE.COM: 14 Awesome Tag Team Finishing Maneuvers

[SAIYANS]

In the aftermath of their monumental win against United States Champion Santino Marella & Zack Ryder on the May 11 edition of SmackDown, the tag team of Darren Young & Titus O’Neil asked one simple question of the WWE Universe: “Do you all know the difference between [us] and the rest of the tag teams here in WWE?â€￾
Their “million dollarâ€￾ charisma notwithstanding, the promising duo could also distinguish themselves with the one thing they already have in common with some of the greatest duos in WWE history: a distinct tag team finishing maneuver.


While the backbreaker hold-diving elbow drop combination that Young & O’Neil execute may bolster their place in the win column, the timing and chemistry required to pull off that kind of impressive move also gives the up-and-coming partnership a distinct advantage over many of WWE’s top ranked tag teams.

Moreover, Young & O’Neil's impressive endgame brings them into elite company, as they join a proud tradition of WWE pairings who have used the power of teamwork to deliver a devastating knockout blow to their opponents. To see how their climactic finale stacks up, WWE.com takes a look at 14 signature finishers that other tag teams have relied upon to rough up a rival in the ring.

• Road Warriors ~ Doomsday Device
• Dudley Boyz ~ 3D
• Hart Foundation ~ Hart Attack
• Eliminators ~ Total Elimination
• Brothers of Destruction ~ Double Chokeslam
• Demolition ~ Demolition Decapitation
• Midnight Express ~ Rocket Launcher
• Brain Busters ~ Spike Piledriver
• Steiner Brothers ~ Diving Bulldog
• Usos ~ Double Superfly Splash
• Harlem Heat ~ Heat Seeker
• Power and Glory - Power Plex

This was just a list and not a ranking article like the other ones posted I believe.

No Hardy Boys again? Twist Of Fate into the Swanton Bomb was sick.

Who the hell is Power and Glory?

The Hardy's Legdrop/Splash combo should be up there.

You're right, this was just a list, weren't ranking these in any way. I'd also put the Hardy's Extreme Combination, Event Omega, and Poetry in Motion on there. On, and Edge and Christians con-chair-to was sick too.

WWE doing more about tag teams! Could this mean they might be putting more into the tag team division? ray-1:

 

[We Are Legion]

The list should be The Dudley Boyz' 3D first and everything else in whatever order they want. The 3D was unquestionably the best.

Who the hell is Power and Glory?

Hercules and Paul Roma iirc

No, it doesn't mean anything.
