[Dog Based Gremlin]

What finishers should even non-wrestling fans know as to be iconic in pop culture? (Besides the Stone Cold Stunner of course)

If you're talking contemporary pop culture, as opposed to people who were in college/high school in the 1990's, then there are very few.

Figure Four
DDT
Sleeper Hold

The average consumer of pop culture has a better chance of identifying Hogan & Jericho than they do naming finishers.

Not said:

5 star frog splas

Superfly splash

Cobra clutch/million dollar dream

 

[Sierra Mist]

People's Elbow.

 

[Heelish]

DDT

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Whenever I see popular culture reference pro wrestling, its always the old school staples. Figure Four, suplex, piledriver, elbow drop.

They don't know what a stunner is or even a DDT.

 

[The Dogg]

Backlund Chicken Wing

 

[RaidenS]

the sharpshooter

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Stone Cold Stunner
Crippler Crossface
