Some professional wrestling moves are as iconic as the wrestlers themselves. Whether it's Shawn Michaels' Superkick that strikes up the band for some sweet chin music, Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner that is usually a precursor to a few chugs of beer, or The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver that sends its victims straight to hell, a wrestler's signature move usually delivers the perfect ending to a thrilling match. Check out a selection of notable WWE wrestlers and their signature moves below.
