Five moves of DOOM

[Special K]

Obviously not a lengthy topic, just wanted to know.

 

I'm assuming the Sharpshooter was not one of them, since that was the finish, so we have:

Russian legsweep

Backbreaker

2nd rope Elbow

Atomic Drop(?)

I believe there was also a clothesline, immediately following the atomic drop.

 

But it's nearly 5am so my memory might be fuzzy.

Snap Suplex

[Slayer]

According to the actual RSPWFAQ, it was

 

Snap suplex

Russian legsweep

Backbreaker

Second rope elbow

Sharpshooter

[Some Guy]

Bret never used a snap suplex, it was always a tradional vertical suplex. He used the bulldog every match leading to the finish or to the chest first bump into the turnbuckles.

[Guest Pariah]

Indeed, the five moves of doom were a Vertical Suplex, a Bulldog, Second Rope Diving Elbow, A Russian Legsweep and A Pendulum Backbreaker.

Bret's 5 > Heidenreich's entire arsenal... so 2.

 

 

I'm SURE that was a snap-suplex, i remember a few instances.

[Guest Fook_Theta]

Bret was known to use the snap suplex somewhat often. Arguble which version was the one to use, but I personally prefer the snap suplex-to-elbow setup.

[Special K]

Was the bulldog part of it? I can't believe I forgot that. He used it all the time.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Hart would mix it up with the Suplex and atomic drop....

 

The stupid term that sounds really stupid cycled "Suplex/Atomic Drop and clothesline, back breaker, russian leg sweep, second rope elbow, Sharpshooter.

 

Everyone had a "(number) moves of doom" really. Michaels had his own "Diving forearm or elbow, slam in the corner, elbow drop from the top rope, sweet chin music" was a very popular finish of his from 1995-96.

Or Hogan's "kick out of finisher, hulk up, punch back into ropes, big boot, leg drop"
