The Undertaker’s Finishing Move Named Most Painful By WWE Hall Of Famer
A signature move by The Undertaker led to some painful bumps for a WWE Hall of Famer.
During The Undertaker’s 30-year career as a WWE superstar, he used the Tombstone piledriver as his signature finishing move. However, he also won some matches with the Hell’s Gate submission move and the Chokeslam.
Another move that The Undertaker used was the Last Ride. It was a Powerbomb that was different than a regular Powerbomb. In a regular Powerbomb, a wrestler lifts an opponent up around eye level and slams them on their back.
With the Last Ride, Undertaker would lift his opponent even higher, hold onto their trunks or tights, and drop them with a Powerbomb from there. Some people even called it the Wedgie Bomb because it almost looked like Taker was giving his opponent a wedgie.
A wrestler whom The Undertaker wrestled many times in his career was WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield. While JBL wasn’t as tall as Taker, he was a bigger guy and they had a lot of physical matches together.
While speaking to Videogamer.com, JBL was asked about the most painful finishing move he took, so JBL spoke about how the Last Ride was a painful move to take.
Undertaker’s last ride! I don’t know why, but that thing hurt like hell. I have no idea why I’ve taken worse bumps, and he took clotheslines from me, so I hate to even bring it up because he was very safe with it. He landed you flat, but man, it was so far down.
The Undertaker Was Safe, But The Last Ride Brought The Pain
As JBL continued, he made it clear that The Undertaker was a safe wrestler to work with, but when it came to the Last Ride, that was a painful move to take.
It just killed me like, oh my God. Like how far did I just fall? Because I wasn’t expecting it the first time. I guess just going straight down, I don’t know what happened.
He’s one of the safest wrestlers in the history of the business, and he was safe with this too. It just, it was just so far down, I guess. I don’t know what it was. It was something that just knocked the wind out of me!
Regarding his role in present-day WWE, The Undertaker is helping to run the AAA brand that WWE acquired in 2025, and seems to be enjoying himself in that role.
